The contours on the chassis highlight the profile of the suitcase and give a sense of fluidity and stylish look. Over and above the comfortable travel experience, the modern silhouette blurs the lines between fashion, art and design.</span></p> <p><span>{googleAdsense}</span></p> <p><span>&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span>Commenting on the launch, global creative director of Tumi, Michael Petry said: &ldquo;With every mile travelled, city ventured, stamp on your passport, your journey will reach a new degree &ndash; it&rsquo;s only fitting that you carry a bag that reflects your movement.&rdquo; &ldquo;19 Degree truly represents the art of intelligent design; when conceptualising the collection, we approached it with the question &lsquo;How can we make our design less elementary and more elevated than what is already on the market?&rsquo; We felt our customer deserved a better design and an overall better product that not only performs, but looks cool while performing.&rdquo; The design seamlessly blends style with class and durability. </span></p> <p><span>&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span>This premium 19 Degree collection will be offered in the full range of carry-on and check-in sizes, from an international carry-on through to an extended trip packing Case. The use of aluminium plays a very significant role in reducing the weight of the luggage. Lightweight-yet sturdy aircraft-grade aluminium used in the locks, moulded top and side carry handles wrapped with leather detailing, and patented handle system adds to the class and weight reduction. The four dual-spinning recessed wheels are engineered to offer manoeuvrability and provide greater packing capacity inside.</span></p> <p><span>{googleAdsense}</span></p> <p><span>&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span>Available in<span class="apple-converted-space">&nbsp;</span><strong><span>Silver and Matte Black</span></strong>, 19 Degree collection will retail for at Tumi retail stores worldwide and on Tumi.com beginning in November.</span></p>
