Limited, custom gold-finish cases join TUMI’s 19 Degree collection
Few can approach the level of sincerity, quality and luxury that TUMI places into travel essentials. Since 1975, it has crafted briefcases, delicate accessories and reliable pieces that allow us to move with grace and style wherever we go. It has utilised various textures through the decades, such as leather and ballistic nylon, in its bags and luggage. Together with its advances in security, technology and sustainability, it has firmly established itself as an enduring partner in travel. This year, the brand marks its 50th anniversary, and it is commemorating its long history in a fitting manner.
“We wanted to do something truly special,” TUMI creative director Victor Sanz explains. “What better way to celebrate than by taking our iconic 19 Degree design and giving it a bold, metallic gold twist?”
Bearing the brand’s signature curves and contours, the 19 Degree collection encapsulates the exquisite detail that TUMI is capable of. “This ultra-limited-edition drop is all about celebrating where we’ve been—50 years of pushing boundaries in design and craftsmanship—and where we’re headed,” Sanz adds. “It’s the perfect blend of innovation, style and celebration.”

The brilliance of gold lends its undeniable allure to four silhouettes of the collection—a briefcase, a carry-on, a watch case and a minaudière. Combined with a resilient aircraft-grade aluminium shell, every piece is emblematic of the brand’s prestige. Each one is finished with a 50th anniversary story patch embedded with a unique edition number. This air of exclusivity is reinforced by its limited quality; Only 250 units of each silhouette are available worldwide, transforming them into coveted collector’s items that discerning individuals are sure to appreciate.
TUMI has built a lasting legacy supported by forward-thinking innovations in style and technology, which is reflected in everything that it produces. This timeless quality of sophistication is now immortalised in glittering gold, one that a precious few will have the good fortune of owning.

About
Tobias wants to write things that make people think, laugh, and reflect. He’s especially proud when he can sneak in a cheeky pop-culture reference or a pun in his titles and articles.
He possesses a deep love of history, resulting from years of books, games, and museum visits. It was this fascination with the human endeavour that fostered his love of writing, spanning genres, tones, and moods. He one day hopes to write a novel—he just hasn't decided on a genre yet. A certified homebody, you'll often find him on the computer he built himself, binge-watching Seinfeld or House, playing his favourite gacha game, or reading a book.
