Mumbai,May 8: International travel, lifestyle, and accessories brand TUMI introduces “Mediterranean Escape,” its Spring 2026 seasonal collection inspired by the warmth and rhythm of the Mediterranean coast. Bringing expressive new colors, prints, and textures across TUMI’s most iconic silhouettes, the campaign captures a joyful, transportive vision where design meets destination.
Directed by Piero Bressan and photographed by Dario Catellani, “Mediterranean Escape” transports viewers to Villa Fortaleza and Cala San Vicente in Mallorca, Spain. The campaign reflects a sense of ease, where travel becomes immersive, expressive, and grounded in the spirit of the destination.
At the heart of the collection is a bold new seasonal palette introduced across key TUMI collections, including the iconic 19 Degree Collection. Lush thyme greens, sun-washed terracotta, and radiant sunlit yellow reimagine sculpted silhouettes through destination-inspired hues.
Building on its global debut, TUMI brought “Mediterranean Escape” to India with an immersive event in Mumbai. Headlined by acclaimed actress Janhvi Kapoor, the experience welcomed over 120 VIP guests and celebrities, capturing the relaxed yet refined spirit of the Mediterranean.
Hosted at OPA Kipos, the venue was transformed into a Mediterranean-inspired villa, immersing guests in a sun-drenched coastal setting.Architectural arches, ceramic textures, and citrus accents came together in a palette of coastal blues, sun-washed terracotta, and vibrant yellow, creating an atmosphere that felt both transportive and effortlessly refined. The space unfolded through a series of curated moments, inviting guests to engage with the collection through design, storytelling, and sensory detail.
