For Spring 2021, TUMI explores the idea of migration to approach the collection with a contemporary lens. The new collection sees TUMI continue to hone in on sustainability as a key focus for the brand moving forward, not only through the use of innovative, sustainable materials, but also with design that extends beyond singular, seasonal function. This commitment to sustainability is exemplified in this season’s iconic Alpha Bravo Collection, with new seasonal colors in Navy Camo, Russet and Spruce all made with recycled materials, while the men’s Alpha 3 and Harrison collections introduce new styles and colorways as Tahoe experiments with a new technical material, Tyvek®, known for its incredible durability. For women, Voyageur debuts day bags, compact styles and travel cases designed for the needs of the new normal, while Stanton is relaunched to offer feminine micro-pebbled leather day bags and backpacks perfect for workdays and weekends.
