January 12, 2024 — TUMI, the leading travel and lifestyle brand, is thrilled to announce a limited-edition collection created in collaboration with Weber Zhang, an acclaimed and award-winning artist from Shanghai whose works have been featured in blockbuster movies, numerous international exhibitions and publications. Drawing inspiration from the excitement of travel and exploration, the 2024 Lunar New Year Collection combines auspicious cloud motifs with the dynamic spirit of a dancing dragon across 11 products from the 19 Degree, Alpha Bravo, and Voyageur collections.
Rich in symbolism, Zhang’s dragon captures the sense of freedom associated with the year’s zodiac sign. This collection allows you to carry the dragon’s powerful energy and good fortune throughout your journeys. The auspicious clouds beneath its feet represent the dragon’s unbounded nature and TUMI’s continuous evolution, aligning it with the spirit and aspirations of the festive season.

TUMI is committed to continuous innovation and timeless design. This is fully demonstrated in 19 Degree. The 2024 Lunar New Year Collection takes the 19 Degree’s iconic hard-sided design and adds a festive touch with a limited-edition 19 Degree International Expandable 4 Wheeled Carry-On in black.
