TUMI Unveils the Next Generation of Alpha Collection
TUMI, the globally recognized travel and lifestyle brand, has officially launched the new generation of its Alpha collection. This latest iteration features two prominent ambassadors: Formula 1 world champion Lando Norris and Asia-Pacific ambassador Wei Daxun. Both icons represent a modern interpretation of the Alpha range—products that reflect elegance, precision, and a discreet efficiency essential for contemporary travelers.
Campaign Overview
The promotional campaigns, crafted by director Alice Schillaci and photographed by Reto Schmid, showcase Lando Norris in a cinematic narrative filled with suspense. Drawing inspiration from classic action stories, the visuals depict a man preparing for an important mission, portraying themes of focus, precision, and initiative. Norris shares his thoughts, stating, “When you’re preparing for something significant, you don’t want distractions - you want everything to work perfectly. Whether I’m racing or on the move, it’s about being ready. Alpha seems designed for that mindset.”
Wei Daxun, on the other hand, stars in a visually stunning campaign that emphasizes smooth movements and modern aesthetics. Directed by David Pun and photographed by GK, this campaign captures Daxun navigating through stylish urban environments, demonstrating the Alpha collection’s streamlined lines and sophisticated design. Daxun remarks, “Alpha is crafted with real intention – you can feel it in the materials, the balance, and how it moves with you, no matter where the day takes me.”
Reinventing Travel Gear
Victor Sanz, TUMI's Global Creative Director, emphasizes that the Alpha collection is not just about following the trends, but also about rethinking performance in travel gear. He states, “We’re focused on how people move, what they carry, and how design can assist them on their journey. Lando and Wei embody this new generation. Alpha is designed to perform just as they do.”
