Jul 13, 2022
TUMI, a leading international travel and lifestyle brand, is pleased to announce an exclusive collaboration collection with the iconic streetwear brand STAPLE. Guided by Staple founder Jeff Staple's global travels, the capsule collection features the iconic Staple pigeon on graphic patterns inspired by the streets of cities around the world that inspire both Jeff Staple and TUMI.

TUMI | STAPLE Kit Crossbody ¥42,900 (tax included)
The pigeon, an essential Staple brand icon, is a mascot that symbolizes good fortune and is symbolic of New York City. When Jeff Staple founded the brand, he saw the bird as a symbol of never giving up, remaining strong despite all difficulties. This vital force, greater than a city that never sleeps, is present in every city around the world. TUMI, dedicated to providing comfortable travel for all travelers, resonates with this concept and has created styles with superior design and functionality to support better journeys.

TUMI | STAPLE International Expandable 4-Wheel Carry-On ¥176,000 (tax included)
Photographed in New York by renowned street photographer and talented artist Jacob Consenstein, the advertising campaign not only captures the product's functionality, but also celebrates the authenticity, energy and inspiration of each style. The collection features five new styles designed for today's urban explorers, blending the vibrant urban mind with TUMI's signature innovation. Paying homage to Jeff Staple's upbringing in New York City, every style features a lining in pigeon pink with a New York City map pattern. The collection includes styles for globetrotting, from a spacious backpack with a pattern inspired by the streets of São Paulo to a compact sling with a print inspired by Tokyo's Shibuya Crossing. The playful Ping Pong Crossbody bag, featuring a print inspired by Barcelona's sidewalk tiles, blends Staple's DNA with Tumi's exceptional design, making it perfect for carrying table tennis paddles or as an everyday shoulder bag. The Kit Crossbody, with its geometric pattern inspired by Los Angeles architecture, can be used as a travel kit by removing the attached strap. The International Expandable 4-Wheel Carry-On features a Staple Pigeon camouflage pattern inspired by New York City.

"Jeff Staple is an innovator and entrepreneur. He is constantly working to spread streetwear culture around the world," says Victor Sanz, Creative Director at TUMI. "Jeff is a true global citizen. He is the epitome of a world traveler, embracing other cultures for inspiration and personal growth while never losing sight of his roots. This aligns perfectly with our worldview: we are always looking outward for inspiration and always building on our foundations with what we learn."

TUMI | STAPLE Sling ¥68,200 (tax included)
"To me, TUMI has always represented the pinnacle of luxury, travel, innovation and technology," said Jeff Staple, founder of Staple and Reed Art Department. "Our brands share a common thread in terms of mobility and the performance of our products, which affect everyday life. I particularly appreciate the value of well-designed travel accessories when I'm busy running around in a new city. In terms of design, we use the Staple Pigeon to talk about New York City culture as a symbol of the vibrant urban spirit, but as I traveled, I felt that we were able to convey that belief in any city we visit around the world. With this collaborative collection with TUMI, we will convey that belief in all directions with the distinctive, highly functional design details that are featured in every style that makes up the collection."

The TUMI | STAPLE collection will be available in Japan from July 20, 2022 at TUMI Omotesando and select stores, as well as on the official website TUMI.co.jp.
