A blend of function, style, and city life—TUMI’s Fall-Winter 2024 collection of suitcases, backpacks and crossbody bags is an homage to Seoul
Seoul, a city where ancient palaces coexist with futuristic skyscrapers is the inspiration for TUMI’s Fall-Winter 2024 collection. Its recent campaign, styles, and palettes are an ode to the capital city of its two South Korean brand ambassadors actress Mun Ka Young and Tottenham Hotspur captain Son Heung-min.
In her recently released campaign, Mun is photographed among Seoul’s vibrant city life and skyline with The Interest of Love actress styled in everything from casual dark denim to business casual gray and white outfits. A travel-ready camel coat dress and pants ensemble, paired with bags from the collection rounds of each look. “I love how TUMI is also exploring silhouettes beyond travel cases,” shares the 28-year-old actress-author.
This season, the international travel and lifestyle brand draws inspiration from the South Korean city with an eclectic mix of the old and the new with fresh silhouettes and bold colorways. Creative director Victor Sanz also introduces the Seoulite print, reflecting the city’s dynamic energy.
For a long-term sabbatical
Pack for a month-long (or even three) trip and explore Malaga, Spain or Khao Lak in Thailand with the TUMI 19 Degree Frame Extended Trip 4 Wheel Packing Case. Its integrated frame opening and closing latches ensure your belongings stay secure for long-haul travel. For weeks-long trips, the 19 Degree Frame International 4 Wheel Carry On and 19 Degree Frame Short Trip 4 Wheel Packing Case can snuggly fit your essentials with its well-organized interior.
For a business trip to a major city
As an urban professional, having a durable yet stylish bag is essential for making a strong impression while navigating the fast-paced environment of a bustling city like Seoul, Tokyo or London. TUMI’s all-black Turin collection, crafted from Italian leather and accented with sleek metal detailing, impeccably embodies a professional appearance.
Whether you’re heading to a high-stakes meeting or a networking lunch, bags like the Alzare Backpack or Nicolo Sling ensure you look polished. The Savona Slim Brief and Stephano Clutch add further elegance to your office or evening attire.
For a quick weekend getaway
On your way to a beach trip to Coron in Palawan or a weekend music festival in Hong Kong, TUMI’s Voyageur Collection which includes the Léger Compact Carry-On or Léger International Expandable Carry-On goes well with comfortable airport attire such as a pair of tailored joggers, a crisp white tee, and a blazer can strike the right balance. For souvenir shopping, the Valetta Medium Tote has enough interior space as you walk around town with new finds in tow.
For day tours on either island, the Celina or Denver Backpacks are ideal for carrying daily essentials, like a water bottle, sunscreen, a camera, and a change of clothes. Pair the backpack with comfortable walking shoes, denim shorts, and a light, breathable top for Coron, or opt for layers to tackle Hong Kong’s variable weather.
A night out in the city
Easy to carry but enough to carry essentials such as a cardholder, car keys, or lipsticks, small crossbody bags such as the Lex Mini Train Case, Lex Small Train Case, and Myla Crossbody bags are great companions for night outs in New York or Sydney.
Pair either compact bags with a little black dress with heels and accessorize with a statement necklace or chandelier earrings. Use the adjustable straps for hands-free convenience whenever you’re dancing or bar hopping.
For your day-to-day adventures
TUMI’s Voyageur collection also extends to everyday life with convenient and stylish crossbody bags and backpacks. When running errands or meeting friends for lunch, the Adela Crossbody, Tyler Crossbody, Sedona Crossbody, and Persia Crossbody are versatile enough to pair with flared jeans with a tucked-in blouse, platform sandals, and accessorized with statement sunglasses and minimalistic jewelry.
For when you’re working at the office on-site, the Halsey Backpack has a dedicated, padded laptop compartment for your device. Additionally, the multiple pockets, including the collapsible interior water-resistant water bottle pocket and quick-access pocket, allow for organized storage of office essentials and personal items. For a more versatile bag with style mileage, the Vail North/South Tote can transition from office looks to client meetings to dinner dates.

Expanding into the domain of sports, TUMI introduces designs tailored to the needs of racquet sports and biking enthusiasts. Equipped for each activity are the Pickleball Bag, Tennis Bag, and Tennis Racket Bag, thoughtfully designed to accommodate your sporting gear to match your athleisure and post-game attire.
