International travel and lifestyle brand TUMI recently unveiled their new Voyageur Leather and 19 Degree Frame collections in a campaign starring global ambassador and acclaimed actress Mun Ka Young. Shot in the streets of Seoul, the fashion capital of emerging trends and fresh, bolder styles, the campaign showcases the new pieces from TUMI brilliantly and how it complements the active, on-the-go lifestyle of a trendsetter such as Mun Ka Young.
Against the backdrop of the hustle and bustle of South Korea’s capital city, the stunning K-drama princess flaunts pieces from the new collections with style and panache, demonstrating how versatile each one is thanks to functionality synonymous with the brand’s DNA.
The Voyageur Leather collection injects an update to the classic styling with soft and supple leather instead of its well-known nylon, and also in trendy popular shapes as can be seen in the Myla Crossbody and the Lex Train Case Crossbody.
As seen on the left, Mun Ka Young styles the Myla Crossbody in Pewter with metallic hardaware and accents. This versatile piece packs a punch as its size betrays its capabilities. Fit all your essentials including your phone, cash, cards and makeup for touchups in this crossbody with zip closure, and you’re good to go, whether for work or weekend fun.
In the top photo, our pretty lady wears the Lex Mini Train Case in Black with gold hardware and accents, looking very trendy and stylish, ever-ready for both fit-checks as well as paparazzi.
Other pieces in the Voyageur Leather collection includes the Raina backpack, the Halsey backpack, the Holland backpack, the Vail Medium tote and the Vail North/South tote.
On the right, Mun Ka Young models the Halsey backpack in olive green, proving that the backpack can be just as fashionable as any handbag du jour, expecially when it comes in leather with light gold trimmings that elevate any utilitarian piece just that little bit.
Meanwhile, the 19 Degree Frame collection from TUMI shows why it’s a fan favourite, as part of the launch along with the Voyageur Leather collection.
“If only the TUMI 19 Degree luggage collection looked just a little bit more fashion-forward….” said no one ever. At least, not out loud, as the designers at HQ somehow took it up on themselves to upgrade the aesthetics of this luggage collection already well-loved for its stylish lines as well as safety and handling features, and came up with the 19 Degree Frame.
It’s the details that make or break a look, especially for discerning style mavens who insist on perfection in all areas. Well, if anyone indeed ever had a complain about the lack of aesthetics in luggage closures or clasps, they’ll be pleased to know that the TUMI 19 Degree Frame features opening/closure latches that integrates with the trim wrapping around the frame of the luggage. Of course, you can expect the usual 19 Degree features of smooth retractable handles and wheels, durable and sustainable recycled polycarbonate shell, and the all-important TSA combination locks.
The TUMI 19 Degree Frame models come in the International 4-Wheel Carry-On, Continental 4-Wheel Carry-On, Extended Trip 4-Wheel Packing Case and Short Trip 4-Wheel Packing Case sizes, in the colour choices of black texture and pearl grey texture.
“This season’s campaign celebrates TUMI’s evolution, expanding our women’s lifestyle offering while staying true to our travel heritage,” said Victor Sanz, Global Creative Director. “As a treasured ambassador, Mun Ka Young embodies the stylish, adventurous TUMI woman.”
