Design Maverick

Echoing McLaren’s design principles, the Tumi Aero Internatio­nal Expandable 4 Wheel Carry-On packs a different kind of punch for the race car-loving jet-setter.

The key similarity between the carry-on and a McLaren supercar? Both are designed to take you to places in style. In the luggage, you’ll also find a strap modelled on the six-point racing harnesses found in the automaker’s supercars and trackonly models, such as the limited-edition McLaren Senna GTR.

Since the announceme­nt of their partnershi­p in 2019, Tumi and McLaren have co-designed a premium capsule collection of elegant business, travel and everyday essentials. Each accessory has a simple, uncomplica­ted design, yet sporting a look that enhances all aspects of life on the move.

The Aero Internatio­nal Expandable 4 Wheel CarryOn is crafted from a hybrid of materials, including Tegris, a hard-wearing thermoplas­tic composite shell that’s usually found in race cars.

The luggage is part of a ninepiece capsule collection, which includes accessorie­s like the Quantum Duffel, Velocity Backpack and Teron Travel Kit. Each of these draws design cues from McLaren’s bold supercars and race cars. The pieces also bear the automaker’s signature papaya orange colourway and feature CX6 carbon-fibre accents which give the accessorie­s a sleek yet durable finish.

 ??  ?? The Aero Internatio­nal Expandable 4 Wheel CarryOn retails for S$2,690 and is available online and at Tumi Marina Bay Sands.
