TUMI, the global leader in luxury travel and lifestyle design, commemorates its 50th anniversary with the launch of "Made for You Since 1975." This milestone campaign pays homage to the brand's half-century of crafting products that not only stand the test of time but are intrinsically linked to the journeys of those who carry them.

Captured by esteemed lifestyle photographer Christopher Anderson and directed by Nim Kyong Ran, the campaign takes us inside the personal and often intimate relationship between TUMI’s iconic designs and its devoted customers. Set in the vibrant streets of Lisbon, the film spotlights the brand’s timeless collections—Alpha, Voyageur, and 19 Degree—celebrating their enduring appeal and their place in the lives of the modern traveller.
