“Go for gold” is the mantra of many an Olympian, and with luxury accessories brand Tumi marking a golden anniversary, it has taken the gilded tone to heart. As the lifestyle brand of the jet set, Tumi is celebrating its 50th year in glittering style with the release of a numbered, limited-edition capsule collection of golden-hued cases and accessories.

For the moving glitterati, here’s a little something Tumi to you… But before you roll your eyes, the collection—a tribute to the brand’s five decades of innovation and craftsmanship—features iconic 19 Degree pieces reimagined in a striking Bullion Gold finish.

“We wanted to do something truly special for our 50th anniversary. And what better way to celebrate than by taking our iconic 19 Degree design and giving it a bold, metallic gold twist?” says Tumi creative director Victor Sanz in an official statement announcing the new collection. He goes on to explain that “this ultra-limited-edition drop is all about celebrating where we’ve been—50 years of pushing boundaries in design and craftsmanship—and where we’re headed. It’s the perfect blend of innovation, style, and celebration.”

Four silhouettes from the signature 19 Degree Aluminium range is available now in the new colourway: a briefcase (HK$18,300), an international carry-on (HK$13,800), a watch travel case (HK$6,300), and a minaudière (HK$12,800), all bathed in the celebratory Bullion Gold hue. When the cases drop on luggage carousels, you’ll see it first and you’ll see it fast!

Each piece boasts an aircraft-grade aluminium shell, retaining the signature 19 Degree contours and distinctive detailing. As a mark of its exclusivity, each item is finished with a 50th-anniversary patch, complete with its unique edition number. With only 250 units of each silhouette available worldwide, these pieces are set to become highly sought-after for collectors, especially those who have followed the brand since its inception in 1975.

With a simple ethos of creating beautiful, high-performance pieces built with endurance and ingenuity in mind, Tumi endeavours to safeguard smooth travel and preserve the luxury of the activity as it has been embraced the world over for fifty fabulous years. Now, the choice of colour just wraps up the hallmark year with a golden bow.

Tumi’s limited-edition 50th-Anniversary Gold Collection is available in Hong Kong now.
