The timeless, celebrity-favourite travel companion that’s always on point
Unlike the throngs of candy-shaded micro totes and slouchy hobo shoulder bags that come and go with every season, a great piece of luggage should stay around long after the trends fade.
In the realm of luxury travel, Tumi luggage has long reigned as an emblem of impeccable craftsmanship and premium design. This reputation has helped garner an impressive list of fans, including Hollywood A-lister Chris Pratt, singer-songwriter and actress Reneé Rapp, F1 superstar Lando Norris and football legend Son Heung-min to name just a few.
While it’s no easy feat to narrow down Tumi’s diverse portfolio of travel cases to just a few standout styles, it’s difficult not to be drawn to the iconic, perfectly sculpted 19 Degree collection, which comes in both aluminium and recycled polycarbonate versions.
Here, discover some of Tatler’s favourite 19 Degree features, and find out why jetsetters have fallen hard for these always-in-style travel cases.
Style
When you look at the 19 Degree collection, the first thing that stands out is its strong aesthetic appeal. Beautifully contoured, fluid angles fuse with luxurious finishes and pitch-perfect colour combinations. More covetable than your latest handbag purchase, you’ll want your Tumi in-frame for every travel photo.

It’s never fun when your overseas shopping splurge has to end simply because you’ve run out of space to bring it home. That’s one of the perks of travelling with 19 Degree luggage. Travellers can opt for one of the expandable styles that offer a few extra inches for any unexpected purchases.
Stay connected
Anyone whose phone has run out of juice on a travel day can relate to the stress of not having a reliable charging port within close reach. 19 Degree carry-on styles fix the dilemma, thanks to a discreet and dependable built-in USB port and easy access pocket for a power bank. While it’s a relief when you do need to recharge, just knowing it’s there for emergencies also offers priceless peace of mind.
Look closer
Just like so many things in life, the beauty often lies in the finer details—and the same rings true for every Tumi creation. There isn’t an element of the 19 Degree collection that hasn’t been masterfully thought out; from the smooth-gliding wheels and ergonomic three-stage telescoping handle that adjusts to your height, to the thoughtful, bottom grab handle that allows each bag to be lifted off the carousel or out of the overhead locker with ease.
Beyond the style and intuitive design details, Tumi’s 19 Degree collection has all bases covered to ensure you feel protected; from the subtle, integrated TSA locks that keep belongings secure to the anti-microbial treated shell, zippers and grab handles as well as the Protx2 anti-microbial coated lining, Tumi luggage doesn’t miss a beat.
