TUMI Travels To the the Mediterranean

TUMI Travels To the the Mediterranean

How amazing a little trip to the Med would be! I miss those blue waters so much and would give anything to go back this summer! Well, by “this summer” I mean in July, when it’s summer there and winter here. And what better way to travel around the Mediterranean, or anywhere really, than with my favourite travel companion TUMI luggage?

TUMI Spring/ Summer 2015 Collection

TUMI Spring/ Summer 2015 Collection

You guys know that my favourite travel brand, is without a doubt TUMI! They really have the most amazing travel-smart luggage that’s also fashionable and will sure get heads turning! Their latest Spring/ Summer 2015 collection is absolutely to die for! How pretty is the Fossil Floral for Spring print on the latest Voyageur collection? After 7 years of success, the Voyageur collection gets a face lift in this collection, with brass zips and leather trimmings. From left; Halle Backpack, Valera Triple Compartment Wristlet (different colour option available in SA), JustInCase Travel Duffel, Large Q-Tote, Serra Pouch (not available in SA) and Laval Toiletry Kit.  And I’m totally digging the new shade, Fossil on the Tegra-Lite 4-Wheel International Carry On. This is such an amazing carry-on! I have one of the older Tegra-Lite Carry On’s that I love to bits and pieces! Investment piece of note! I love the brighter, funkier colours that the TUMI Spring/ Summer 2015 collection brings to the table. Featured above: Tegra-Lite International 4-Wheel-Carry-On in “Black Floral”, Prism Luggage Tag, Voyageur Medina Travel Kit (different colour option in SA), Voyageur Athens Carry-All and Grant Leather Snap Case for iPad Mini (not available in SA). When I said TUMI was a fashionable (as well…

MAXimum Travel Style! TUMI Tegra-Lite MAX Arrives in SA

MAXimum Travel Style! TUMI Tegra-Lite MAX Arrives in SA

My favourite travel brand, TUMI has a brand new range and it has finally arrived in South Africa! The TUMI Tegra-Lite MAX is everything you’re looking for in a travel companion and I’ll tell you why… TUMI luggage is just amazing! It not only looks good and high quality that lasts, but I like to call it the “smart travel brand” because it’s made for travel. Packing a TUMI is smart, maneuvering a TUMI is smart, the whole design and technology behind every TUMI is smart, and I promise you’ll look super cool at the airport too! I own a TUMI Tegra-Lite carry-on (the range before the MAX), and I always use it. It’s super lightweight, easy to wheel around, but the only thing I would change about it, is to have a front pocket to store my iPad for when I travel. I guess, TUMI must’ve read my mind when they launched the Tegra-Lite MAX by adding in a clever little front U-zip pocket. Other exterior features of the Tegra-Lite MAX range include; a 2 inch expansion option (perfect for stuffing in more on your way back), 4-double spinner wheels as well as top, side and bottom handles. The first Tegra-Lite only came with a bottom grab handle. These bags not only look good, but it’s the construciton…

Products That Rocked 2012! TUMI Tegra-Lite Luggage

Products That Rocked 2012! TUMI Tegra-Lite Luggage

I’ve done my fair share of air travel this year, and one thing that has really made it so much better, has been travelling with my TUMI TEGRA-LITE Carry on bag. It is such a great bag that is very, very light and has a really cool design. Plus, because it is a hard case, all my stuff stays exactly how I had packed it before getting on the plane. I’ve taken my TUMI with me on local trips to Cape Town and Jo’burg, and of course, it came with me on my trip to Greece and Dubai in August this year. I love how this bag glides through the airport, and I can wheel it behind me, next to me, or in front of me – which is a real bonus when trying to get through those narrow aeroplane isles! The fact that it is so lightweight means I can pack in more “stuff” on my travels. My makeup and beauty products alone tend to weigh me down on most trips, and let’s not forget the shoes – a girls’ gotta have options you know! When you have a bag that allows you to use the weight on your items and not…

Insta-Scoop: Pink Porsche, Pink Lips and a Night at the Saxon

Insta-Scoop: Pink Porsche, Pink Lips and a Night at the Saxon

Where to start? Load’s happened last week from staying over at the amazing Saxon Hotel to checking out pink Porsche’s at the Top Gear Festival, as well as other very cool stunts by the Top Gear Team on Sunday… Here’s a wrap of my week in instagrams…. Jetting off! Getting ready to leave sunny Durbs to attend the British Airways celebration event in a much colder Jozi on Tuesday! I was so amped to have received my new TUMI travel bag (part of the TUMI Tegra Lite Collection) earlier in the week and take it on it’s first StyleScoop travel! This one is much lighter than my Arrive – which means more room for extra outfits. I love it, so expect a full post on it’s awesomeness soon! Some pics of my Room at the Saxon and snippets from the British Airways celebration event. Check out the link for more pics about the event – sadly I was too far from the “action” to take any good pics, but you can view some of the official press images via the link. Staying at the SAXON was truly an amazing experience! People like Oprah, Bill Clinton, The Beckhams and other schelebs…

There’s a new Tumi in Town – The TEGRA-LITE

There’s a new Tumi in Town – The TEGRA-LITE

I absolutely love my TUMI. It’s my most fabulous travel companion. The only problem with it, sometimes on local flights, is it’s a bit heavy to take on board with me; so I’ve got to check it in and then wait in anticipation that it comes out without getting hurt by those sometimes nasty airport people! But now there’s a new Tumi in town, the TEGRA-LITE ™, a super lightweight travel collection of gorgeous travel bags, that stay true to TUMI’s heritage of design innovation and just plain amazing products. Besides being super lightweight, the TEGRA-LITE  range is super durable and strong, made from Tegris, which is a revolutionary polypropylene thermoplastic composite material created by Milliken® for use in lifesaving armor, NASCAR race cars and protective gear for NFL players! Impressive indeed! The TUMI TEGRA-LITE collection debuts in March 2012 at the South African TUMI stores.
