TUMI was among the first to recognise this in the German-born South Korean actress, formalising a partnership and announcing it earlier this year. Victor Sanz, the brand’s Global Creative Director, captures their synergy: “As one of our treasured global brand ambassadors, Ka-young perfectly embodies the stylish and on-the-go TUMI woman.”
Such is displayed in her second campaign for the high-end luggage maker. Ka-young is shot back home in South Korea, setting the scene for a glimpse into her dynamic lifestyle. Dressed in chic neutrals, she struts down the bustling streets of Seoul with TUMI’s latest offerings by her side, letting viewers tag along for the ride.

Crafted in rich leather and marked by new TUMI “T” logo hardware, the Voyageur Leather series presents a fashion-forward spin on the timeless range, expertly balancing sophistication and versatility.
