TUMI presents 19 Degree collection in the Philippines
TUMI, the leading international brand of premium travel, business and lifestyle accessories, announces its launch of 19 Degree, the brand’s first-ever aluminum luggage collection. A masterful combination of form following function, 19 Degree is the pinnacle of travel gear; an element of luxury and innovation that elevates not only your journey, but who you are.
Drawing inspiration from when the fluid elements of nature and exacting lines in architecture intersect, 19 Degree boasts a strikingly modern and cutting-edge design with strategically sculpted angles set against meticulously-crafted aluminum. These contours highlight the profile of the suitcase and give a sense of fluidity, exuding a boldly distinctive appearance. This modern silhouette blurs the lines between fashion, art and design while transcending the travel experience. 19 Degree conveys the long-standing notion that travel is not just a utilitarian experience; it emotionally connects travelers to their own unique journeys.
“With every mile traveled, city ventured, stamp on your passport, your journey will reach a new degree — it’s only fitting that you carry a bag that reflects your movement,” said Creative Director Victor Sanz. “19 Degree truly represents the art of intelligent design; when concepting the collection, we approached it with the question ‘How can we make our design less elementary and more elevated than what is already on the market?’ We felt our customer deserved a better design and an overall better product that not only performs, but looks cool while performing.”
This premium collection features a reinforced frame-case design — with two snap closures for carry-on bags and three snap closures for check-in bags — and die-cast corner caps for additional protection. The interior is expertly appointed with the finest aesthetic and organizational features including, a lightweight lining with an embossed diamond pattern that complements the unique exterior pattern.
19 Degree will be offered in the full range of carry-on and check-in sizes, from an International Carry-On through an Extended Trip Packing Case.
