This season, the international travel and lifestyle brand celebrates the feeling of connection with gift ideas to match every traveler on your list
To many, travel, in its many forms, is tied to connection. It’s about catching flights, navigating time zones, and moving through busy airports. Yet, it’s also more than logistics; it’s about reuniting with family, exploring cultures, and sharing experiences. This holiday season, Tumi celebrates this spirit of connection by updating their travel essentials to fit today’s lifestyles and spark thoughtful gift ideas for everyone on your list.
Multifunctional metallics
For your sister, best friend or mother who prefers versatility in their style choices, the Asra Small Crossbody in Pewter Metallic transitions from a quick grocery run in a relaxed blouse and jeans to formal dinner plans in a midi dress and heels.
If you’re thinking about gifting a bag for people in your life juggling busy schedules, the Voyageur Vail Medium Tote in Pewter Metallic has ample space for work essentials or personal items. From the office, swap the blazer for a cozy cardigan or a leather jacket. Add its crossbody strap for hands-free convenience and it’s ready for an evening coffee meetup or watercolor classes.
For the weekend warrior, the Celina Backpack and Madeline Cosmetic in Silver Sky, make for a good outing bag that can fit your overnight travel essentials. On the way to your destination, complement the sheen of the bag with a flowy sundress or crisp white linen top and tailored shorts to stay cool and comfortable.
The modern traveler
The Reflective Tumi Jacquard, a fresh addition to the Tumi Alpha collection, combines high-performance travel functionality with a bold, modern aesthetic. Featuring a reflective print and oversized logo, this design brings a contemporary and festive flair to travel essentials like the Short Trip Expandable 4 Wheeled Packing Case, Tumi Brief Pack, and Double Expansion Satchel.
Adding to one’s travel repertoire are Tumi’s two new fragrances for men. The 19 Degree Extrait De Parfum and Dusk. The 19 Degree Extrait De Parfum embodies saffron, suede, and musk, while Dusk captures timeless notes of bergamot, neroli, and lemon. Each bottle features the contours of the 19 Degree Collection, adding a stylish element to the entire luggage ensemble.
Part of the action
Tumi extends its thoughtful designs to those who pursue passions beyond travel. As the official luggage partner of premier golf tours, the Tumi Golf Collection offers bags and accessories, blending meticulous craftsmanship with practicality, ideal for avid golfers planning their next round.

In Manila, the holiday gifts curated by Tumi were also previewed by guests at their holiday luncheon.

The event also introduced a new wave of brand influencers, such as congressman Franz Pumaren, director Carlos Alvarez, Ria Prieto, Cristalle Belo-Pitt, Justin Pitt, Maureen Disini, Nikki Gil, BJ Albert, Charmaine Lagman, and Scott Woodward. Adding to the excitement, Tumi announced the opening of its new 130-square meter store at the second floor of Greenbelt 5 in December 2024. The 130-square-meter boutique is Tumi’s largest store in the Philippines and the first in the country to feature the brand’s latest retail design concept, which aims to “redefine luxury shopping in the region,” according to the brand.
