TUMI’s Spring/Summer 2025 Collection landed in Manila with both style and substance, unveiled at the brand’s new flagship boutique at Greenbelt 5. Spanning 130sq/m, this is the brand's largest store in the Philippines and the first in the country to showcase its latest global retail concept. Designed with an emphasis on elevated interiors and immersive shopping, the boutique reflects the brand’s ongoing evolution in luxury travel and lifestyle.

As TUMI marks its 50th anniversary this year, the event felt like more than just a seasonal drop. It was a nod to five decades of thoughtful design, global movement and constant refinement — from Charlie Clifford’s early days selling leather goods out of a car boot to becoming a category leader in premium travel gear.

As a Ambassador, I was glad to be there to reconnect with friends, chat with fellow creatives and get hands-on with the new collection. I had with me my TUMI Harrison Bradner Backpack: minimal, sharp and quietly versatile, it’s a piece that fits seamlessly into both everyday movement and elevated occasions like this one.

Stephanie, also a TUMI Ambassador, hosted the afternoon with her usual energy and warmth. With her TUMI Voyageur Myla Crossbody Bag in tow, she navigated the event with ease and elegance — introducing the latest arrivals and sharing her own personal picks.

The launch was also well attended by the new wave of TUMI Brand Ambassadors and KOLs: Congressman Franz Pumaren, Carlos Alvarez, Ria Prieto, Cristalle Belo-Pitt, Justin Pitt, Maureen Disini, Nikki Gil, BJ Albert and Charmaine Lagman, all of whom brought their own voice and style to the brand’s expanding community.

It was an afternoon of conversations, connections and creative energy; a celebration not just of a new collection, but of where TUMI has been, and where it’s going next.
