New Luggage from TUMI and McLaren

TUMI, the leading international travel and lifestyle brand, has unveiled its new collection designed and  developed in partnership with luxury supercar maker and Formula 1 team, McLaren. Just as each driver relies on their car to get them across the finish line, the team depends on their luggage  and travel necessities to get them to their destination. That inspiration is manifest in the superior made-to last quality of the collection.  

For more than 45 years, TUMI has built a reputation for innovation, functionality and durable design, with a focus  on optimizing the journeys of global citizens.  Since announcing in 2019 that the two companies would work together, TUMI’s Creative Director Victor  Sanz and Rob Melville, McLaren’s supercar Design Director, have created a premium capsule collection of  elegant business, travel and everyday essentials. Each piece is designed to uncomplicate, while elevating  performance in all aspects of life on the move.  

From automotive to sports, TUMI is inspired by the world’s most innovative industries. For McLaren — a  renowned global leader in embedding cutting-edge technology into products with a clear design aesthetic  — travel and lifestyle are integral. The two brands share the common vision of continually pursuing higher levels of excellence, which is  reflected in the considered details and choice of materials in the McLaren inspired TUMI range.   

The capsule collection is comprised of  nine pieces. Each encompasses elements of McLaren’s sleek, bold supercars and race cars. All are  highlighted with McLaren’s signature Papaya colorway and feature CCX6® carbon fibre accents. Key travel pieces include the Aero International Expandable 4 Wheel Carry-On and the Quantum Duffel. The carry-on is crafted in a hybrid of materials, including Tegris®, an extremely hard-wearing  thermoplastic composite found in race cars. The hard shell is contrasted by a molded-fabric front panel  with a supercar-influenced design that is echoed throughout the collaboration.  

This solid build allows the collection to protect the contents it carries, incorporating further elements of  McLaren’s supercar designs. The interior features a compression strap that takes its cues from the six-point  racing harnesses found in its race cars and track-only models such as the limited-edition McLaren Senna  GTR.  

The Velocity Backpack was created to keep wearers connected all day long thanks to the inclusion of a USB  port and padded laptop compartment. TUMI’s hallmark “Add-a-Bag” sleeve makes it a fitting companion to  the collection’s carry-on.  

The Torque Sling and Lumin Utility Pouch are additional contemporary styles for light-carry and hands-free  days. The Orbit Small Packing Cube, Trace Expandable Organizer, and split compartment Teron Travel Kit  are all ultra-portable accessories to keep your belongings protected, organized, and readily available  through every leg of your journey.  

The collection is available via TUMI.com, TUMI’s global retail stores and select McLaren  retailers globally.
