TUMI's latest campaign stands out as its boldest yet. The campaign film highlights Son and his 19 Degree Aluminum Backpack in an abstract space that takes them to various worlds, all of which represent features of the 19 Degree Aluminum collection. Through striking visuals and modern textural elements, the campaign transports the viewer into a mesmerizing abstract world, reminiscent of TUMI's iconic 19 Degree Aluminum collection alongside Son Heung-Min. This combination of innovative visuals and abstract setting gives viewers the Essentially Beautiful feeling that with TUMI, your world never stops evolving.

"TUMI is thrilled to unveil another disruptive 19 Degree campaign starring Son Heung-Min, one of our TUMI global ambassadors," said Jill Krizelman, TUMI's Senior Vice President of Marketing and eCommerce. "With this campaign, we wanted to communicate the next evolution in backpacks featuring our latest expression of 19 Degree Aluminum, showcasing its cutting-edge design, innovative style, and our commitment to technical innovation. This creative strategy does exactly that, and continues to propel TUMI as a beacon of limitless evolution."

The 19 Degree Aluminum Backpack is the first of its kind for TUMI, designed with a leather back panel featuring the signature 19 Degree contours. The new Compact Carry-On scales down the signature 19 Degree DNA for a compact, yet equally design-forward carry-on, ideal for the business traveler with a need for smaller luggage. The Minaudiere is a more fashion-forward statement piece, and coming in three colorways and with two detachable shoulder straps, it's a versatile style ready for nights out and special occasions. The 19 Degree Aluminum Briefcase is striking from every angle, the iconic curves at 19-degree angles and the durability of aluminum are reimagined in this sleek briefcase.

Shop the 19 Degree Aluminum collection available at TUMI.com and TUMI stores worldwide.
