TUMI's Work-and-Leisure Tote Debuts as Japan Exclusive


TUMI introduces two Japan-exclusive styles for summer: a shoulder tote from the acclaimed "ALPHA BRAVO" collection and a backpack-tote from the "JARVIS" collection. Both boast exceptional functionality, seamlessly transitioning from work to leisure.

Choose Your Summer Tote: Two Styles with Distinct Personalities



Launched in 2010 to mark its 35th anniversary, "ALPHA BRAVO" is a popular collection that incorporates the functionality, usability, and quality of TUMI's core "ALPHA" collection, while emphasizing a "slim silhouette," "soft structure," and "multi-purpose design."

Meanwhile, "JARVIS" was born as a Japan-exclusive collection, featuring TUMI's iconic ballistic nylon accented with leather, elegantly transforming rugged, military-spec materials into a sophisticated business style.

From these two collections, two distinct tote styles have now been released.

An Elegant, Refined Horizontal Tote


First is the ALPHA BRAVO East-West Tote. This model features shoulder-length handle straps and an expandable gusset that adds approximately 5cm when the zipper is opened. While crafted from TUMI's original ballistic nylon, the addition of leather accents on the front pocket lends it a sophisticated air.

The top closure is zippered, ensuring contents remain unseen. It offers ample space for B4 documents and a 15-inch laptop. The front zippered pocket includes card slots and pen loops, allowing for organized storage of small items. Additionally, a quick-access pocket at the top front is ideal for smartphones, providing convenient retrieval even when the bag is carried on the shoulder.

A back sleeve allows it to be secured to the handle of luggage, making it a comfortable companion for business trips and travel alike.

Its monochromatic black design pairs effortlessly with everything from suits to casual wear, and a tote bag's lighter feel makes it a refreshing choice for summer.

A Vertical Tote That Doubles as a Backpack


The design features TUMI's signature original ballistic nylon, known for its durability and water resistance, accented with leather stripes. The use of matching leather on the handles, luggage tag, front patch, and even the base imparts a modern, sporty impression. The polished silver hardware further enhances its elegant and sophisticated aesthetic.

With its softly rounded form, it offers a classic look when carried by hand as a tote. It also sits smartly when worn as a backpack. The shoulder straps can be stored away in the back compartment. In either style, it complements dressy attire, such as suits, with a sleek finish.

The main compartment includes a padded laptop pocket and multiple accessory pockets, allowing for organized storage of business essentials. A quick-access pocket at the top back is ideal for smartphones, ensuring easy retrieval. Additionally, a back sleeve for attaching to luggage handles is included.

The side pockets on the gusset are waterproof, suitable for storing water bottles or umbrellas. The zippered pocket at the top front also offers space for small items, making this a highly practical piece that facilitates organization.
