TUMI INTRODUCES THE NEXT GENERATION OF ALPHA BRAVO & THE TUMI CREW
NEW YORK, Jan. 11, 2022 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

Celebrating over a decade of innovation and utilitarian design, TUMI's latest 
evolution of Alpha Bravo continues its legacy with the stellar Life in Forward 
Motion campaign. The collection is comprised of entirely new styles focused on 
modularity, sustainability, and durability. It features over two dozen new 
silhouettes including backpacks, slings, chest packs, briefs, duffels and 
crossbodies. Select bags will be available in a seasonal colorway that takes 
the military inspiration to the next level, made in a durable ripstop that 
takes its cues from rugged parachute fabric. Many styles feature a main body 
fabric made from recycled materials, an even more sustainable take on their 
signature ballistic nylon. The lining of almost all styles is also made with 
recycled materials and the built-to-last quality of the collection further 
enhances its sustainability.

In keeping with Alpha Bravo's go-anywhere, do-anything energy, each style is 
compatible with the new TUMI+ travel accessories—a modular ecosystem that can 
be used to customize your bag based on personal needs and complements a 
non-stop lifestyle. TUMI+ attaches not only to the Alpha Bravo collection, but 
many more across TUMI's portfolio by utilizing daisy chains, G-hooks and 
carabiners.

This Spring, TUMI spotlights the Alpha Bravo collection in a series of four 
short films starring an international cast known as the "TUMI Crew". Filmed in 
New York City and London, the bi-continental campaign is thoughtfully told 
through the lens of prominent directors, Autobahn and Andy Madeleine. The 
campaign authentically depicts these multifaceted talents navigating their Life 
in Forward Motion with the support of Alpha Bravo.

Chapter 1, starring F1 Driver and Gamer Lando Norris debuts January 11, 2022 
and will feature the Navigation Backpack, Mason Duffel, and the Classified 
Waist Pack. The junior champion and 5x Formula 1 podium-finisher started racing 
at 7 years-old and became the youngest World Karting Champion at 14. He joined 
Formula 1 as the youngest-ever British Formula 1 driver at age 19 and now with 
multiple podiums, fastest laps and a pole position under his belt, he's paving 
his way to becoming a future Formula 1 World Champion. 

Chapter 2, starring Pro Footballer and Role Model Son Heung-Min, debuts January 
27, 2022 and will feature the Logistics Backpack, the Navigation Backpack, and 
the Liaison. Son is an integral part of the Tottenham Hotspur Football Club and 
is the South Korean national football team captain. In 2019, Son became the 
highest-scoring Asian player in the Champion's League, following this by 
becoming the first Asian player to score more than 50 goals in the Premier 
League in 2020. Son has been named best footballer in Asia 6 times. With a 
humble and carefree attitude, his popularity transcends all people and brings 
fans together as one.

Chapter 3, starring Grammy-winning and Golden Globe and Emmy-nominated Actor, 
Performer and Musician Anthony Ramos, debuts February 7, 2022 and features the 
seasonal Recruit Chest Pack, the Ally Pack, and the Transport Pack. A 
storyteller, visionary and creator, Ramos recently released his sophomore 
album, "Love and Lies" melodically capturing raw emotions.  Gracing covers of 
The Hollywood Reporter and Time Magazine, Ramos was included on TIME 100's 
prestigious "Next" list, highlighting emerging leaders who are shaping the 
future. 

Chapter 4, starring acclaimed singer-songwriter Gracie Abrams, debuts March 8, 
2022, featuring the Platoon Sling, the Junior Crossbody, and the Search 
Backpack. Named an artist to watch by taste-making outlets like Pigeons & 
Planes, Fader, and i-D, in addition to being crowned one of seven breakout 
female musicians by Vogue UK, Abrams has amassed a devoted following on the 
strength of her emotionally intimate lyrics and DIY sensibilities.  With her 
latest project, This Is What It Feels Like, Abrams brings her raw introspection 
to the most intimate of emotional experiences. Abrams is set to embark on a 
tour of North America and Europe in early 2022.

Events slated to accompany the launch include experiential pop-ups around the 
world featuring one-of-a-kind items from the Tumi Crew and an immersive look 
into the Alpha Bravo collection. TUMI debuts the experience at the Dubai Mall 
in UAE from February 8th through February 14th of 2022.

"It was important to us that we demonstrate the core pillars and values of TUMI 
in this campaign by showcasing our narrative in a disruptive, relevant way.  
TUMI's Life In Forward Motion campaign authentically shares our brand story 
through the lens of four unique multifaceted lives, capturing their 
aspirations, ambitions, and challenges.  Like Alpha Bravo, the TUMI Crew are 
always pursuing excellence," says Jill Krizelman, TUMI Senior Vice President of 
eCommerce and Marketing.

Victor Sanz, Creative Director of TUMI adds, "The way we interact in the way we 
travel has taken a major shift in the past two years we saw this as an 
opportunity to refocus the Alpha Bravo collection for our new modern customer. 
We studied what is truly important to our customer and evaluated how we can 
integrate it into the launch of this collection. Truly diving into their needs 
not only from a business side but a lifestyle side knowing that they are also 
pursuing their passions".
