Description

From love stories and beloved memories to riveting adventures, luminaries and everyday heroes alike share through excerpts from their travel diaries the tales behind the places they've been with their indispensable TUMI bags. With its luxurious line of luggage, backpacks, bags, and accessories, TUMI has made a name for itself as a leader of modern-day travel since its founding in 1975. Functional superiority, technical innovation, and pared-back elegant design especially its soft black-on-black ballistic-nylon travel bags have made its products favourites among discerning travellers.

In celebration of its core collection relaunch, TUMI presents the stories of its most impassioned fans and the bags that accompanied them on their decades of global travels. Still-life photographs, artwork, and collage-style journal entries make for an endlessly captivating, intimate look into the journeys taken by world-renowned luminaries and everyday individuals alike. A passenger on the "Miracle on the Hudson" flight shares the gripping account behind his TUMI bag that survived Captain Sully's heroic landing. NBA MVP Russell Westbrook discusses how his bold style informed the eye-catching red-camo collection he collaborated on with the brand. And model and activist Petra Nemcova is featured alongside the TUMI bags she brings as she jets across the globe pursuing charitable projects. Part travel diary, part ode to fine luggage, this new book is perfect for wanderlust-filled readers everywhere.

Reviews

"TUMI: The TUMI Collection is unsurprisingly packed with lavishly-lensed imagery of the TUMI goods utilized by the subjects of the book. Ranging from Olympian siblings Maia and Alex Shibutanis roll-on suitcase to Zo Kravitzs favorite crossbody bag to Russell Westbrooks red travel kit, TUMIs well-used wares are placed front and center. Each piece is highlighted both in Lewis images and lifestyle snaps that highlight the goods on the go, underscoring TUMIs desire to create the ideal travel companions."HYPEBEAST.COM
