Sleek simplicity

WELL-KNOWN for functional­ity and minimalism at its heart, Scandinavi­an design is rooted in the elements of nature and tradition. It is this that Tumi draws from for its Autumn 2018 Travel collection­s.

With a new take on camouflage and subtle texture play, as well as classic florals modernised with shifting contrasts and reflective pops, the season presents new dimensions.

Tumi’s Latitude is reintroduc­ed in an elegant blush colour and accented with rose gold trim. The collection’s models come crafted from SRPP Ballistic, an ultra-durable material that is both lightweigh­t and incredibly strong.

There are also functional features like tie-down straps, multiple pockets for increased organisati­on, and a hanger bracket. The new colourway will be offered in a range of carry-on and check-in sizes.

When form and function come together, it is as if each single touch point blends to create a cohesive design. The Merge collection does just that – it pairs Tumi’s design DNA with lightweigh­t, relaxed options.

Newly introduced is the Merge wheeled duffel, available in both a carry-on and packing case. It features a relaxed, unstructur­ed front panel with multiple zipper storage pockets, as well as an easy-access top compartmen­t.

Additional­ly, Autumn 2018 features exciting new colours and prints for the Merge collection. They include deep combinatio­ns of graphical elements with different undertones, plus reflective effects and a new core colour.

Since its launch, Tumi’s 19 Degree Aluminum collection has become a travel staple for every style enthusiast on the go. A masterful combinatio­n of luxury and innovation, this collection is the pinnacle of travel gear.

Now available in unique and exciting new seasonal colours, this aluminum assortment features a reinforced frame case design and die-cast corner caps for additional protection.

The interior is furnished with the finest aesthetic and organisati­onal features including a lightweigh­t lining with an embossed diamond pattern that complement­s the unique exterior pattern.

Autumn 2018 also sees Tumi offering other lifestyle travel designs for both men and women. They comprise intentiona­l, thoughtful designs marrying form and functional­ity.

From Sept 11 to 16, Tumi is opening its “Scandinavi­an Lodge” at Pavilion Kuala Lumpur’s Centre Court. This is to celebrate the season’s collection inspired by the region.

The special setup will give visitors the opportunit­y to fully immerse themselves into the world of Tumi’s latest designs, experience­d through an innovative and interactiv­e journey.
