TUMI SS26 Mediterranean Collection(4)

The Spring 2026 Collection introduces expressive new hues and destination-inspired design, capturing the spirit of TUMI on vacation.

Global travel and lifestyle brand TUMI sets the tone for Spring 2026 with the launch of “Mediterranean Escape,” a vibrant seasonal campaign and collection inspired by the warmth, rhythm, and sensory richness of coastal Europe. Infused with expressive colors, tactile materials, and destination-driven design, the collection reimagines TUMI’s most iconic silhouettes through a lens of effortless escape and elevated travel.

Helmed by director Piero Bressan and captured by photographer Dario Catellani, the campaign unfolds across the picturesque settings of Villa Fortaleza and Cala San Vicente in Mallorca. The result is a visual narrative that blends serenity with sophistication—where travel is not just movement, but a deeply immersive, expressive experience.

At the core of the collection is a bold seasonal palette that breathes new life into TUMI’s signature lines, including the iconic 19 Degree Collection. Earthy thyme greens, sun-washed terracotta, and radiant yellows evoke the Mediterranean landscape, while the 19 Degree Aluminum International Carry-On debuts in Horizon Blue—a striking hue inspired by the meeting point of sea and sky.

The collection expands beyond hard-shell luggage into a broader lifestyle offering. A raffia-inspired capsule introduces woven textures across the Olas and Harrison Collections, merging artisanal warmth with modern craftsmanship. Accessories further channel the spirit of the region, with olive-, floral-, and lemon-themed bag charms reminiscent of coastal markets and the iconic scenery of the Amalfi Coast. The Belden Sunglass Charm adds both function and flair for sun-soaked journeys.

According to Victor Sanz, the collection reflects a shift toward more intentional travel: “The Mediterranean represents a slower, more immersive rhythm—where every detail, from texture to color, contributes to a lasting emotional connection. This season, we’ve translated that sensorial richness into design, capturing the essence of movement and discovery while maintaining the precision and performance that define TUMI.”

Adding depth to the collection is the debut of the Mediterranean Print, featured across Voyageur, Tegra-Lite™, Belden, and Nassau lines. The print introduces a bold yet refined visual identity, reinforcing the campaign’s energy without compromising TUMI’s signature functionality.

For Jill Krizelman, the campaign signals a broader evolution in brand storytelling: “Mediterranean Escape allows us to explore a more relaxed, playful dimension of TUMI. It’s about celebrating color, culture, and the romance of travel—inviting our global audience to experience travel as a form of personal expression.”

Extending beyond product, “Mediterranean Escape” will come to life through immersive global activations, bringing the campaign’s spirit to key markets worldwide.
