Accessories brand Tumi and designer swimwear retailer Orlebar Brown have created a joint collection for the travel retail market.
The four-piece tote bag collection will be sold exclusively in Tumi stores at Munich and London City airports, as well as online and in a selection of the brands’ domestic stores. On sale this summer, the items will be priced from £295-£395/€295-€395.
According to the companies, the new design has “re-interpreted the 1960s poolside utopia”, made famous by the late celebrity photographer Slim Aarons. Each item also has a waterproof rubber base making the range suitable for the beach.
Orlebar Brown Founder Adam Brown said: “It’s easy to draw parallels between OB and Tumi and the quality we produce.
“We both strive to be best in class with a genuine attention to detail. Our ethos is around celebrating travel and Tumi are experts in this field with a clear commitment to innovation. It has been a wonderful project.”
Additional features of the range include leather carry handles, a strap tuck lock closure, a back slip pocket, a hanging luggage tag that has the ability to be monogrammed, and Tumi’s Add-a-Bag strap on the back.
Tumi Creative Director Victor Sanz commented: “A large part of travel is about relaxation and enjoying the places you’re going.
“This collaboration is all about the leisure of travel. Sometimes your travels include taking a break from the day-to-day and enjoying it poolside; to us, Orlebar Brown exemplifies that experience and state of mind.”
