TUMI, the global luxury travel brand, is celebrating its 50th anniversary with a special golden collection. To mark the milestone, TUMI launched a limited-edition version of its famous 19 Degree range, now available in a striking Bullion Gold color.
The special pieces will be available from April 25 at 6:30 PM IST on TUMI.in, and will also reach selected flagship stores worldwide, including locations in North America, Europe, Asia, and Latin America. Only 250 units of each design will be available globally, making them a rare collector’s item.
TUMI’s Golden Milestone
TUMI has been a symbol of craftsmanship and style for half a century. Known for its strong, stylish travel gear, the brand’s products often appear in the business and first-class cabins of airlines around the world. The ribbed 19 Degree cases, launched in 2016, have become iconic for their sleek design and durable materials.
For its golden anniversary, TUMI chose to celebrate with a bold new twist. Creative Director Victor Sanz said, “We wanted to do something truly special for our 50th anniversary, and what better way to celebrate than by taking our iconic 19 Degree design and giving it a bold, metallic gold twist? 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. It’s the perfect blend of innovation, style, and celebration.”
What’s Special About the 19 Degree Bullion Gold Collection?
The 19 Degree collection features sculptural lines and a fluid design that reflects motion, fitting perfectly with TUMI’s brand identity. Now, in Bullion Gold, the collection shines even brighter. Each piece is crafted from aircraft-grade aluminum, known for its strength and lightweight properties.
Every item in this special edition is engraved with a 50th-anniversary story patch and a unique serial number, making it a true collectible. The range includes:
- Compact Briefcase
- International Carry-On
- Watch Travel Case
- Statement Minaudière
Prices range from $650 to $1,995. Given the limited quantity, these pieces are expected to sell out quickly.
Global Launch and Availability
TUMI’s golden collection will first be available online and at selected flagship stores. Shoppers in India, the United States, Europe, and Latin America can access a curated selection of these gold pieces.
Victor Sanz emphasized the brand’s global reach by stating, “TUMI’s journey over the past 50 years has been global, and it’s only fitting that we celebrate this milestone with our loyal customers worldwide.”
