TUMI Celebrates Grand Opening of First China Flagship Store at Shanghai Centre
HONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach Newswire - 5 August 2025 - TUMI, the leading international travel, lifestyle and accessories brand, celebrated the grand opening of its first China flagship store at the iconic Shanghai Centre. TUMI welcomed guests to an exclusive launch event in celebration of the flagship's grand opening—an evening rooted in design, culture, and meaningful connection. This milestone flagship is the latest reflection of the brand's continued investment in the region and its commitment to serving the global traveler with immersive, elevated and personalized retail experiences. An Exclusive Milestone Celebration A symbolic ribbon-cutting ceremony marked the occasion, drawing notable guests from across the region and beyond and featuring a special appearance by newly named Asia-Pacific brand ambassador Wei Daxun. TUMI Creative Director Victor Sanz said, 'Returning to Shanghai and seeing everything come to life was incredible. The energy in the room, the conversations, the people – it was all truly inspiring. Everyone brought something unique to the moment, and that's what made it unforgettable. I couldn't imagine a better way to kick off this exciting chapter for TUMI here in Shanghai.' Following the ribbon-cutting, over 500 esteemed guests were welcomed to an exclusive after party held inside the flagship. Guests explored the space and discovered a curated selection of TUMI's premium collections, including Alpha Bravo and Harrison. The evening also celebrated the launch of Chapter 3 of the Uncompromisingly Light campaign, brought to life through the dynamic 19 Degree Lite collection and the presence of newly appointed Asia-Pacific brand ambassador Wei Daxun. The afterparty further elevated the evening with entertainment and interactive workshops, as guests enjoyed a bespoke fan-personalization experience that paid tribute to Shanghai's cultural richness. Inspired by the city's creative pulse and legendary skyline, TUMI's personalization service introduced an exclusive Shanghai mold specially crafted for the event, enabling guests to create custom keepsakes. To conclude the full-day celebration, guests were invited to a dynamic in-store experience featuring curated music, fine wine, and exclusive customization offerings—seamlessly blending TUMI's travel-forward ethos with the city's vibrant creative spirit. Immersive Store Design Featuring Art, Displays, and Activations Rooted in TUMI's commitment to purposeful, performance-driven innovation, each element of the flagship's immersive design—from the sculptural façade to curved LED screens and evocative Journey art installation—seamlessly blends the brand's signature minimalist luxury with modern architectural aesthetics. Echoing the sculptural elegance of 19 Degree, the flagship's bold exterior greets visitors with a cascading metallic panel façade defined by fluid contours. This striking design detail is a nod to the collection's signature curvature and reflects the brand's commitment to thoughtful craftsmanship—starting from the outside in. Conveying effortless elegance in motion, refined scenario-based displays showcase the full range of TUMI men's, women's and travel accessories throughout thoughtfully designed spaces. A distinctive open-concept VIP area presents meticulously curated premium travel and luggage offerings, while clients can visit the interactive materials wall to experience TUMI's innovations in cutting-edge design material technology firsthand. Unique to the Shanghai flagship is a dedicated art installation space that bridges TUMI's design philosophy and local artisan culture. Rooted in respect for material integrity and purposeful craftsmanship, the debut work, Journey, was created from bamboo by renowned contemporary artist Xu Fei. Exploring the intersection of movement, intention, and form, Journey draws on the ancient Chinese cosmological concept of 'round heaven and square earth'—a balance of fluidity and grounding that echoes TUMI's approach to design. The installation embodies the brand's belief that travel is not just about where you're going, but how you move through the world—with clarity, resilience, and meaning.

TUMI 'Packs' A Punch With New York City-Inspired Fall 2025 Collection
Get ready to hit the road, fam! TUMI has sets the stage for Fall 2025 with an exciting assortment of new arrivals inspired by the city that never sleeps: New York. This season marks the second half of TUMI's 50th anniversary, a momentous milestone commemorating the brand's legacy of innovation and enduring performance. New York City is TUMI's design nucleus, and the Fall 2025 collections celebrate the movers, makers and creative spirits that drive the heartbeat of the concrete jungle with creations that are as multifaceted and resilient as the city itself. An exploration of New York City's constant evolution, the Fall 2025 collections feature prints that pay homage to the iconic wild postings scattered across the city's streets and neighbourhoods. Select pieces from the Alpha, Alpha Bravo and Voyageur collections are imagined in a poster print, featuring a torn poster graphic that alludes to the history underpinning all the innovations to come. The Alpha Bravo collection, known for its high-performance 'go-anywhere' silhouettes, finds a fresh feel with a new core colourway: Navy Coated Canvas, an elevated alternative to classic black, perfect for every day. Fall 2025 includes seasonal hues, Pavement and Electric Blue, both inspired by the architecture of the metropolis. New commuter-ready styles—the Surveillance Flap Backpack and Roadstead Messenger—round out the collection. This season, men's styles receive an exciting refresh with the premium, automotive-inspired Arrivé collection, introducing new details like carbon fibre accents and quiet, magnetic zipper garages. The relaunch spotlights the Arrivé Large Backpack, refined with modern accents and considered upgrades that elevate both function and finish—bringing renewed energy to one of TUMI's most sophisticated silhouettes. Complementing the lineup, the Arrivé Hannover Slim Brief offers a sleek, minimalist option for streamlined business travel, crafted with the same precision and polish. Expanding the Harrison collection, new styles include the Griffen Flap Backpack, adding further variety. Under Fall 2025, Harrison also ushers in Burnished Wine Ombre, a gradient technique that gives its whole-grain leather a distinctive, textured appearance. Inspired by the city's bold graffiti murals, the brand's bestselling Just In Case® styles feature a dripped spray paint design (and, new for Fall 2025, three diverse sizes of the signature tote silhouette). Folding completely flat, Just In Case® is the perfect addition to every traveller's lineup. This season also introduces new colourways across core Voyageur styles—including the Celina Backpack—with Deep Olive, Mink, Moonlight, and Blackberry offering elevated versatility for life on the move. Designed with versatility and sophistication in mind, the Olas and Agent collections expand TUMI's offering for the modern woman. Olas embraces a minimalist sensibility with clean lines and soft structure, available in essential silhouettes like the Small and Medium Shoulder Bags. Agent, crafted in lightweight leather and finished with refined hardware, offers a seamless blend of fashion and function—from boardroom to off-duty moments—ensuring every detail is thoughtfully considered. The iconic 19 Degree collection returns with seasonal colourways inspired by the atmospheric elegance of Central Park in the Fall. 19 Degree Lite introduces rich, grounded tones of wine and pavement—each echoing the foliage, stone paths and surrounding brownstones of the park's storied landscape. Moonrock appears in 19 Degree Polycarbonate, extending the palette's quiet sophistication across the broader collection. New to 19 Degree Aluminium comes an unexpected and opulent object for those with discerning taste: the 19 Degree Aluminium Bar Set. This luxurious bar set includes every glass and accessory needed to craft the perfect cocktail, including exclusive TUMI cocktail recipe cards. Exquisitely packaged in a premium aluminium case featuring the brand's iconic 19 Degree contours, the new bar set is the perfect pinnacle lifestyle piece for TUMI enthusiasts. Rounding out TUMI's 50th anniversary year are select travel and lifestyle pieces and accessories featuring the brand's signature TUMI Red Pantone artfully deployed as both a pop of colour accent and as an allover treatment. Together, the Fall 2025 collections are the perfect forward-looking way to celebrate 50 years of innovation —all expressed through the graphic, energetic lens of New York City, the place TUMI calls home.
