TUMI Marks 50 Years with a Gilded Capsule Collection

In an era where legacy brands are leaning into nostalgia with a renewed sense of luxury, TUMI is marking its 50th anniversary with a glimmering tribute to innovation and craftsmanship. The global lifestyle and travel label debuted a limited-edition capsule collection that reimagines its signature 19 Degree silhouettes in a striking metallic gold — aptly named Bullion Gold — to commemorate its golden anniversary.

The celebratory collection includes just 250 numbered units per style, positioning each piece as both a collector's item and a symbol of enduring design. It spans four silhouettes: the sleek International Carry-On, a structured Briefcase, a compact Watch Travel Case, and a gleaming Minaudière. Each piece is crafted in aircraft-grade aluminum and embossed with the 19 Degree’s instantly recognizable contoured lines — a TUMI hallmark since the line's launch.

"We wanted to do something truly special for our 50th anniversary,” said TUMI Creative Director Victor Sanz. “And what better way to celebrate than by taking our iconic 19 Degree design and giving it a bold, metallic gold twist? This ultra-limited-edition drop is all about celebrating where we’ve been — 50 years of pushing boundaries in design and craftsmanship — and where we’re headed.”

Every piece is finished with a commemorative patch denoting its edition number and the milestone it represents, adding a note of exclusivity and provenance. The shimmering Bullion Gold finish is both a literal and symbolic expression of the brand’s golden era — a nod to half a century of empowering modern travelers with form-meets-function sophistication.

The Gold Collection is now available on TUMI.com. For those who prefer an in-store experience, a curated selection is available at select TUMI boutiques across North America and international flagships and retail stores in Asia, Europe, and Latin America will also carry the capsule, with limited availability varying by location.
