Tumi releases 50th Anniversary Gold Collection

Launching four silhouettes—a briefcase, international carry-on, watch travel case and minaudière—each piece features an aircraft-grade aluminium shell with Tumi’s iconic 19 Degree contours, and on top of that, a 50th anniversary story patch with a unique edition number. With only 250 units of each silhouette released, the collection is now available at select Tumi Online stores across APAC. Select styles will also be available at Tumi flagship and retail stores globally.

Johnnie Walker Vault’s first cultural collaborator

As the vault’s first limited-edition release, Couture Expression draws inspiration from the world of high fashion, elevating blending artistry and setting a new standard for luxury whisky. Four blends have been created—Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter—capturing Rousteing’s personal connection to each season as well as its sensorial spirit.
Dior x Lewis Hamilton
In the latest lifestyle capsule by Dior and seven-time F1 world champion, Lewis Hamilton, the collection strikes the right balance between the power and energy of motorsport and French finesse. Revealing an alternative side to Hamilton’s sporting life, a bold and eclectic style can be felt in the juxtaposition of roomy tailoring with work boots and bucket hats, and a short jacket inspired by a 1968 Miss Dior collection. Slouchy knits, sweats and shirts contrast with the technical rigour of reflective materials, while key accessories include B44 sneakers in coloured gradient tones.

Leveraging on its trademarked ginseng technology, the collection has grown by two new products—The Ultimate S Cream Rich, a luxurious cream that improves elasticity and radiance for 100 hours, and The Ultimate S Enriched Cleansing Foam, a lathering cleanser that instantly moisturises with a Ginseng Berry Elixir and combination of skin-conditioning oils.
