TUMI
THE PERFECT TRAVEL COMPANION
Written by Josh Holmes
With a Family Winter break needed, it seemed a perfect time to
review some of the products from the new Spring TUMI collection.
TUMI’s emphasis on this collection was ‘design excellence, technical
innovation, and unparalleled craft — the qualities that give you the
freedom to move through the world however you want.’ The 2 items
I equipped for my travels was the ‘Alpha Bravo Lark Backpack’ & the
‘Merge International Front Lid 4 Wheeled Carry-On’.
The brand is embracing Neon as a color story that flows throughout
multiple collections, including 19 Degree Aluminum, Alpha Bravo,
TUMI Merge, TUMI Totes, and various accessories. It’s these
unexpected pops of vibrant color that allow individuals to tell their
own stories, giving them tools to truly express who they are.
Practicality
Like most trips I travel on, I always seem to become the ‘luggage guy’
which I don’t mind. However, it can become a strain if you are the
individual holding everyone up through customs at the airport or
getting up and down on the plane collecting items that always seem
to be at the bottom of the bag. The largest benefit I found from the
luggage was the functional superiority. With a lot of backpack space,
organisation for the ease of use is key and something I can clearly
see TUMI has worked very hard on perfecting.
The new Lark Backpack has dual magnetic clips to keep the bag
securely closed and a wide entry for easy packing. The style of the
backpack was designed in a way that it can be used to carry daily
essentials or to travel the world which is something you cannot say
about many other luggage brands.
