TUMI’s Spring/Summer 2024 collection is the perfect synergy of modernity and style
The leading international travel and lifestyle brand offers a variety of innovative styles fit for the modern traveler and outdoor enthusiast.
Any discerning jetsetter would know that when it comes to finding the right travel bag or accessory for their next adventure, TUMI is the brand to turn to. Creating world-class business, travel and performance luxury essentials since 1975, TUMI offers yet another unique type of experience this Spring/Summer 2024 with a collection that redefines modern luxury, functionality, and dynamic design.
Made to empower people who are constantly on the move with the requirement of looking both eloquently put-together without sacrificing functionality, the brand has turned to the innovative country of Singapore for timeless inspiration. This season is all about Ultra-Craft, as TUMI likes to call it, which means striking the perfect balance between futurism and the beauty of tailor-made pieces. The Southeast Asian tropical metropolis’ dynamic and visionary aesthetic has made the brand embrace an energetic type of design diversity that resulted in an array of architectural silhouettes, iridescent hardware, vibrant colorways and unique textural elements.
The beauty of Singapore brought about a dynamic and stunning collection that runs through some of TUMI’s most iconic and recently launched product lines. All of the pieces are tied together through a vivacious color palette that is inspired by the landscapes of Sentosa Island. For the summer, the Voyageur, Georgica, ASRA, 19 Degree and TUMI Travel Accessories are given this vibrant spin that shows the versatility and fun nature of the brand that never fails to come up with fresh ideas for travel pieces.
The recently launched ASRA collection, for example, offers a new type of experience for women on the go. Made to be worn from day to night, this ingenious style comes in three sizes and four stylish colorways that would suit a variety of personal styles. Designed with a hobo bag silhouette, the style also features unique pleating, coordinating hardware, and a knotted shoulder strap detail for a one-of-a-kind textural effect. The shape is both structured yet soft, and allows the femininity of the wearer to shine through. The core colorway is obviously black, timeless and perfect for day-to-day. But the style also comes in Moonlight (a beautiful cement-like taupe), Cameo Rose (a peachy pink salmon shade), and Purple Sunset (a lavender and pink color combo inspired by the Singapore skies.)
For men, there are the striking new hues of the Alpha Bravo line, a series of high-performance essentials for the office, outdoors and beyond. The core ethos of the series caters to those with a heart for adventure and have a “go-anywhere” and “do-anything” type of mindset. For this season, the collection of backpacks, totes, and crossbody bags comes in three exciting colorways: Blue Ombre for the main Alpha Bravo capsule, Red Ombre for the ever-evolving Alpha Bravo Esports collection, and a classy Steel for the Nomadic Expedition line.
Speaking of eye-catching colors, the Voyageur, Georgica, and signature 19 Degree Carry-On all come in hues that are meant to make any outfit pop. Acid Green, an interesting highlighter canary color, and Halogen Blue, a brighter dove gray, offer up a fresh take on these classic silhouettes. Then there’s also the introduction of the Sentosa Sunset pattern, a multicolor swirl of pinks, purples, and greens, that is most recognizably seen in the Celina backpack.
But if you’re one to stick to a more somber color palette, TUMI has a different selection that’ll cater to your preferences. That said, it’s best to shop the Voyageur and 19 Degree Aluminum collections.
Made with sustainable materials and a water and stain-resistant coating, the Voyageur line features a variety of women’s bags that come in stylish yet functional designs made for everyday. As mentioned earlier, Halogen Blue is one of the colorways of the style—although its iteration in the Voyageur is a lot more parred down and concrete-like which makes it a chic alternative for those looking for the style in illimitable gray. But there’s also Light Mauve, a warm and light terracotta beige that’s the perfect nude hue. Each colorway is then punctuated with silver hardware to keep things looking streamlined and clean.
Meanwhile, the 19 Degree Aluminum line epitomizes the TUMI difference through its superior quality, design excellence and technical innovation. This summer, the brand introduces three new silhouettes that are a first for TUMI: the 19 Degree Aluminum Backpack, the Compact Carry-On, and Minaudiere. For the backpack, every detail was designed with intention—from the black leather straps and back panel to the exterior which features the signature 19 Degree contours. While the Compact Carry-On scales down the trademark 19 Degree DNA into a compact yet equally stylish piece, ideal for the business traveler with a need for smaller luggage. Then there’s the Minaudiere, an elegant and fashion-forward addition to the 19 Degree family that’s perfect for elegant evenings out or special occasions. It also comes in three beautiful colorways and can be worn either as a crossbody with a chain sling or a clutch.
Closing off TUMI’s Spring/Summer 2024 offerings is a collection of golf bags as well. For those eyeing to score on the green, the brand’s latest venture into the sport opens new horizons for TUMI. As an extension of TUMI Sport, the new Golf collection delivers hyper-functional gear and accessories that are perfect for serious golf players and enthusiasts alike. Each golf bag and tote can be monogrammed or custom embroidered, providing the perfect opportunity to show off a company logo or club crest.
No matter where your interests and lust for adventure and travel take you, there’s always a TUMI piece that’ll complete and complement your lifestyle this summer.
