Jonathan’s attention to detail and exceptional craft is a great marriage with TUMI’s reputation for quality and functional performance. Our consumers love it when we can collaborate with a designer from another industry, and give them something truly unique. “

Small travel accessories including packing cubes and travel pouches in playful prints provide simple solutions when packing in last–minute essentials. With a range of wheeled travel cases, duffel bags, and travel bags, this collection is bold in color, pattern and, according to Adler himself, is all around “groovy”.

“As a creative person, I find travel to be the most inspiring activity on earth. Travel to me is creativity,” said Jonathan Adler. “Our collection is full of bright colors and bold patterns. I wanted to bring irreverent luxury and glamour to every traveler in the world. My work is about serious design with a whisper of cheekiness. I’m deadly serious about design; I’m just not that serious about life.”
