While the unboxing highlighted the beauty and functionality of the luggage, what caught viewers’ attention was the staggering price tag. Many took to the comments section to express a mix of admiration and shock at the luxury purchase. Some praised her for investing in high-quality travel gear, while others joked about how the luggage alone could cost more than their holiday destinations.

Tumi, an American brand established in 1975, has built a reputation for creating stylish yet practical travel accessories. Their products often feature patented designs, premium materials, and innovative security features, which contribute to their hefty price.

Luxury luggage has become increasingly popular in recent years as travellers seek not only functionality but also statement pieces that reflect personal style. In South Africa, owning such high-end items has also become a symbol of status and aspiration.

The video that was published on 16 September 2025 has since gone viral, sparking debates on social media about spending habits, the value of luxury goods, and whether such purchases are worth the investment.
