TUMI celebrates 50 years with Peru-inspired travel collection

Luxury travel and lifestyle brand TUMI celebrated the launch of its highly anticipated Spring/Summer 2025 Collection and marked its 50th anniversary with an exclusive event at Torito, Banyan Tree Kuala Lumpur. The venue’s refined ambiance and South American culinary influence created the perfect setting to honor Peru—the birthplace of TUMI and a key inspiration behind the collection.

The event immersed guests in a journey of discovery, craftsmanship, and innovation, reflecting the essence of TUMI’s commitment to high-performance travel essentials. Attendees included prominent personalities such as Danny Ahboy, Alicia Amin, Hakken Ryou, Koe Yeet, Aedy Ashraf, and Venice Min, alongside TUMI Southeast Asia’s General Manager, Randy Wong, who personally welcomed guests to experience the latest collection and celebrate the brand’s milestone anniversary.

Exploring TUMI’s Latest Collection

The Spring/Summer 2025 Collection pays homage to TUMI’s legacy of craftsmanship and technical excellence. With vibrant colorways, innovative materials, and functional designs, the collection blends modern aesthetics with elements inspired by Peru’s landscapes and artisanal traditions. Standout hues include Lagoon, Lavender, Denim Blue, Red/Lime Chameleon, and Iridescent Dusk—reflecting the multi-dimensional tones of Andean textiles.

At the event, guests explored themed experience zones showcasing different segments of the collection. The Travel Zone introduced the new 19 Degree Lite series, featuring an ultra-lightweight Tegris® shell, a magnesium telescopic handle, and streamlined zipper pulls—making it TUMI’s lightest hardside luggage yet. The Men’s Collection Zone displayed the latest Alpha Bravo designs in rugged yet versatile silhouettes, while the Women’s Collection Zone highlighted Voyageur’s sophisticated new additions, including the Evora Mini Hobo and Lima Medium Tote in elegant Natural/Sand tones.

A Multi-Sensory Celebration of Peruvian Heritage

To deepen the connection between TUMI’s roots and the new collection, the event featured a Peruvian Coffee Tasting Bar, celebrating Peru’s renowned coffee culture and craftsmanship. Guests enjoyed specialty coffee selections that embodied TUMI’s dedication to quality and sensory experiences. Complementing this, a curated menu by Chef Ivan Casusol offered a fusion of Peruvian flavors with a contemporary twist, aligning with the theme of blending heritage with modernity.

Beyond culinary delights, the event offered interactive experiences that highlighted TUMI’s craftsmanship and personalization. Guests had the opportunity to customize their 19 Degree Card Cases at an engraving station, creating a unique and personal connection with the brand. Adding to the excitement, one lucky guest won the coveted 19 Degree Lite Carry-On, a centerpiece of the new collection that redefines lightweight durability and effortless mobility.

TUMI’s Commitment to Innovation and Inspired Travel

As the evening unfolded, DJ Ashley Lau provided an electrifying soundtrack, setting a vibrant backdrop for the celebration. The event encapsulated TUMI’s journey over five decades—evolving from a brand rooted in Peruvian heritage to a global leader in luxury travel essentials.

Reflecting on the milestone, Randy Wong, General Manager of TUMI Southeast Asia, shared, “The Spring/Summer 2025 Collection is about movement—through cultures, landscapes, and experiences. To celebrate TUMI’s 50th anniversary, we have honored our brand’s origins by infusing Peru’s heritage into our designs while maintaining TUMI’s signature innovation and craftsmanship. From the evolution of our 19 Degree Lite to the refreshed silhouettes of Alpha Bravo and Voyageur, we continue to redefine travel essentials, ensuring every journey is effortless and inspired.”
