Light and strong — that’s the new Tumi collection

THE Tumi Spring 2018 Travel collection celebrates California, with its wide variety of jaw-dropping landscapes and sun-kissed cities. With an exciting colour palette and bold patterns, as well as pops of neon in unexpected places, Spring 2018 will take you on an exciting adventure.

Building on its foundation of innovation, functionality and durable design, Tumi presents the next premium, hardshell solution: Latitude. It’s the lightest Tumi travel collection yet.

Made from a unique and groundbreaking material and executed in a timeless, modern design, the Latitude collection is the pinnacle of form and function. Crafted from Tumi’s innovative Self-Reinforced Poly-Propylene (SRPP Ballistic), an ultradurable material that is both lightweight and incredibly strong, Latitude provides a unique blend of performance and style. All models include tie down straps, multiple pockets for increased organisation, a hanger bracket, and more. All styles also feature integrated low-profile TSA locks, TUMI Tracer, sturdy, soft-touch top and side handles reinforced with plastic substructures, and a patented X-Brace 45 telescoping handle system crafted from lightweight-yet-sturdy aircraftgrade aluminium.

Latitude will be offered in a range of carry-on and check-in sizes, which includes an International Carry-On, International Slim Carry-On, Worldwide Trip Packing Case, Short Trip Packing Case and Extended Trip Packing Case, and will be offered in Black, Navy and Silver.

Also launching in Spring 2018 is the new Tumi Merge collection. The new Tumi Merge collection brings together a lightweight, relaxed option for the next generation of Tumi consumers.

An identifying front zipper pocket provides quick-access storage for small items, while the roomy and well-structured interior allow easy packing for any destination. Merge will debut in a range of six sizes and styles, including the Wheeled Backpack, International Expandable Carry-On, Short Trip Expandable Packing Case, Wheeled Duffel, Continental Expandable Carry-On, and Extended Trip Expandable Packing Case. Coffee and Ocean Blue colorways will round out the strong core colors, with Sunset Red and Green Camo brought in on specific styles to add color pops through the season and bring some spring freshness and fun.
