Gone are the days where we can throw everything into a beat-up old trolley and expect to survive travel. With the ever-changing luggage regulations at the airports and your growing awareness that your backpacking days are over, the kind of travel accessories you choose to buy has become an important decision to make.
Ever mindful of the modern stylish traveller’s needs, Tumi presented a comprehensive Fall 2011 collection, where innovation meets indulgence. With seven ranges for women and four ranges for men, from lifestyle options to travel essentials, there is something for everyone who has ever been hit by wanderlust. Bringing together the rich, earthy colours of autumn, expect relaxed day bags, polished accessories and classic favourites.
For Men
When it comes to travel, there is nothing more classic than the suitcase. And you will be hard-pressed to find something as understatedly handsome as this trio from the Bedford collection. In addition to these utterly covetable hard cases, look out for the luxurious details and impeccable craftsmanship on each and every leather-trimmed piece in the collection.
Beautifully minimalist and refreshingly unadorned, the Kaden collection is perfect for the boy about town. Designed for modern living, these all leather day bags have clean, contemporary silhouettes and come in versatile Asphalt and Tan tones that work with all modes of dress. A surprising addition is the leather backpack, a simple and gorgeous essential every modern man will find functional in their day-to-day lives.
For Women
The ultra-lightweight and versatile Voyageur collection is a godsend for lone female travellers. Now available in two new colours, Port and Eucalyptus, you may also opt for a multi-coloured printed version that is strikingly attractive. Consisting of practical pieces like a small carry-on trolley, a roomy tote and a convertible backpack (for hands-free moments), packing light has never been easier.
Tumi has traditionally been known more for its luggage than for its small leather goods. However, with the expanded Seurat collection, a prim and polished accessories line, that may be about to change. Adding Eucalyptus, Fog, Coffee and a multi-coloured print to the palette, these ladylike wallets and travel clutches are much too pretty to pass up.
The Tumi Fall 2011 collection will be available at #01-16, Mandarin Gallery from end July 2011
