Sturdy travel essential introduces Hypercraft technology to new luggage line

TUMI’s new and exclusive technology results in products that are technically advanced with a hand-crafted look. It also brings together an appreciation for nature and natural materials as well as TUMI’s culture, codes and DNA.

TUMI has launched several lines of travel essentials as people continue to head to familiar and new haunts in an ongoing era of revenge travel. Its Philippine representatives led by Frances de Guzman and Charm Go, senior brand manager and brand manager, respectively,  recently hosted an exclusive lunch for journalists, influencers and jet-setters at Blackbird Makati to introduce the latest from the brand.

This fall, TUMI is setting out on an expedition in search of new and familiar terrain, finding the frontier and crossroads of technicality, functionality and meticulous attention to detail. Embracing the mindset of “Hypercraft,” the iconic American brand has been inspired to push the interconnectivity of past knowledge and modern techniques to design products that go above and beyond in terms of style, durability, versatility and performance.

Defined as higher attention to care, skill and ingenuity, Hypercraft results in products that are technically advanced with a hand-crafted look. It brings together an appreciation for nature and natural materials as well as the TUMI’s culture, codes, DNA and wisdom as it looks to redefine TUMI performance luxury and what it truly means to be timeless.

TUMI’s commitment to innovation and timelessness comes to the forefront with its iconic 19 Degree pieces, an expanded collection to accompany modern travelers in every aspect of their lives, with Dark Denim as the new seasonal colorway.

With shells made from post-industrial recycled materials and linings made from PET (plastic bottles), the 19 Degree collection is getting a colorful twist for fall 2023 with new hues and textures.

New colors include Slate Blue Texture, Blush/Navy Liquid Print, Hunter Green, Deep Plum, and Red that offer a subtler, sleek style. Highlights include the international expandable four-wheeled carry-on and extended trip expandable four-wheeled packing case, both featuring handy zipper expansion. Meanwhile, the 19 Degree Titanium continues its legacy as the luxury benchmark in travel. New for fall 2023 are the briefcase and extended trip packing case, the latter adopting all the beloved features of the international carry-on in a larger scale, allowing modern travelers to integrate 19 Degree Titanium into even more facets of their lives.

19 Degree aluminum collection got its name from the line’s angled detail, which is said to be more scratch-resistant than the typical hard-case suitcase with straight linear detailing.

This season TUMI also continues to expand its offerings for women, including the new Georgica collection of bags in natural grain pebbled or smooth leather. The picture of sophisticated ease, Georgica offers minimalist styles with elegant draping and a soft unlined structure such as the Valorie Tote, Milinia Laptop Sleeve, Marylea Crossbody and Fairlea Backpack. Liquid embroidery is also debuting on select Georgica pieces this season, while all colorways including black, taupe, deep plum, terracotta and black liquid embroidery feature touches of gunmetal hardware. New Voyageur styles for fall include the versatile and functional Moore Backpack/Crossbody, Shira Tote and Just In Case Duffel. The Zip-Around smallorganizer is also the latest addition to the TUMI+ ecosystem, designed to fit inside and bring additional organization to smaller silhouettes. 

Another highlight of fall 2023 is the launch of Alpha X, a high-performance, premium version of the iconic Alpha collection. The new pinnacle of the TUMI DNA, Alpha X pushes the limits of performance luxury and expands the boundaries of the cornerstone collection. It is crafted from PX6, TUMI’s most durable fabric to date with a unique combination of high strength, high modulus, toughness and thermal stability. Made for the ultimate traveler, Alpha X in meteor gray colorway further elevates the iconic Alpha collection. Available styles include the international dual access four-wheeled carry-on, slim backpack and compact sling.

The fall 2023 Collection is available now via TUMI.com.
