These carriers are built for the city but ready for anywhere
Tumi’s fall 2025 collection bridges New York dynamism with Manila’s fast-paced lifestyle
New York has a rhythm all its own, it’s fast, bold, and never really slowing down. That pulse is what Tumi captures with its fall 2025 collection, a mix of unisex travel and lifestyle bags that mirror the city’s grit and creativity.
The vibe is distinctly downtown with torn-poster graphics that nod to wild postings plastered across brick walls, spray-paint drips that echo graffiti murals, and sleek silhouettes that could easily belong on the subway as much as on Fifth Avenue. But while the inspiration comes from New York, the designs slide effortlessly into the Manila scene.
Here, life moves just as quickly. From Makati meetings to BGC nights out, from EDSA traffic jams to flights out of NAIA, the right bag isn’t just a carryall but also a survival tool. The commuter-friendly backpacks and messengers answer that need, built to take you from weekday grind to weekend plans without missing a beat. And then there’s the foldable Just In Case tote: the kind of bag you’ll thank yourself for bringing when a Tagaytay detour ends with a little too much shopping, or when you suddenly need extra room on a flight back from Hong Kong.
What stands out this season is the versatility. With finishes like navy coated canvas and pops of electric blue, the collection plays well with Manila’s evolving fashion sense which is sharp enough for the office, cool enough for a sneaker-and-denim fit, and easy to share between him, her, or them. It’s fashion that doesn’t draw lines, which feels right in a city where street style is becoming more fluid and experimental.
Marking its 50th year, Tumi isn’t just celebrating its past, it’s tuning into the way people actually move today. For Filipinos who juggle work, travel, and play in one fast-paced cycle, these bags feel less like accessories and more like reliable companions. They’re tough, stylish, and always game for what’s next—much like the cities that inspired them.
