For Spring 2022, the travel brand was inspired by the idea of connective harmony.

Trusted travel brand TUMI's Spring 2022 offering was inspired by the idea of connective harmony, embracing the juxtaposition of the digital space and the natural world and exploring how modern technology is used to sustainably recreate and reimagine natural resources. And so, with a focus on sustainability, in addition to durability and modularity, TUMI proudly announces the relaunch of their beloved Alpha Bravo collection.&nbsp;

First introduced in 2010, the modern, utilitarian pieces of the Alpha Bravo collection marked a pivotal moment in the brand&rsquo;s history. This latest update captures the same &ldquo;go anywhere, do anything&rdquo; energy of the original line, but with sleeker and even more durable silhouettes. Crafted with TUMI&rsquo;s signature ballistic nylon, some styles feature the addition of vibrant scratch-resistant coatings. Key pieces this season include the Recruit Chest Pack, Navigation Backpack, and the Mason Duffel. Additionally, select bags will be available as a unique capsule that takes the military inspiration to the next level, made in a durable ripstop that takes its cues from rugged parachute fabric. In total, over two dozen styles are being introduced to the Alpha Bravo collection for Spring 2022, ranging from backpacks to totes to briefcases.

Here, L'Officiel Philippines sits with Victor Sanz, TUMI's creative director, to talk about the Alpha Bravo line's rebirth and the four famous faces &mdash; F1 driver Lando Norris, professional football player Son Heung-min, Grammy-winning musician Anthony Ramos, and acclaimed singer-songwriter Gracie Abrams &mdash; fronting its accompanying Life in Forward Motion campaign.

Could you tell us about this?</h4>
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-weight: inherit; letter-spacing: 0px;">Victor Sanz: "As we set out to redesign Alpha Bravo, we looked beyond the functionality and durability we are known for. We wanted to continue our journey within the sustainable landscape. Innovative design and functionality with the materials we use to push our brand forward. Our goal is to produce pieces that are built to last and can survive from generation to generation. Alpha Bravo achieves this goal by integrating recycled materials that pass our most rigorous tests. It became one of our driving forces to conquer this challenge while making the new collection as versatile and distinctive as ever."

<h4>What <span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-weight: inherit; letter-spacing: 0px;">are some of the star pieces from the collection that you're particularly excited about?</h4>
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-weight: inherit; letter-spacing: 0px;">VS: "A few standout pieces of the collection are the Navigation Backpack, Platoon Sling, Logistics Flap Lid Backpack, Recruit 3-in-1 Chest Pack, and the Liaison Tote. I have personally test-worn each one, and I can say they are amazing bags. Currently, I carry the Navigation Backpack, and it continues to surpass my expectations. I know this will become a customer favorite thanks to its versatility and design. The Recruit 3-in-1 Chest Pack is another piece I have been using, especially during my travels. Its ease of use and accessibility have been a game-changer since I am constantly on the go."

<h4><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-weight: inherit; letter-spacing: 0px;">How does the Alpha Bravo collection merge both function and style? Are there any of-the-moment silhouettes to look forward to?</h4>
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-weight: inherit; letter-spacing: 0px;">VS: "This collection was born with the idea of a "go anywhere, do anything" attitude. It was created for those that push themselves and the world they live into the limit. From a functional standpoint, we ensure it meets their needs and beyond. In terms of aesthetics, we hope to give them the confidence to perform at their highest level wherever they are. Whether it's in the boardroom, during travel, or in nature, it was imperative to keep performance in any environment in mind.
"We have developed so many styles in this collection that it is hard to limit it to one silhouette. The Logistic Backpack is one that will surpass our customers&rsquo; expectations just as it did mine. We have taken cues from the outdoor, automotive, and fashion industries in a way that is balanced for our customers' lives."

<h4>What <span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-weight: inherit; letter-spacing: 0px;">was the process behind selecting these names for the campaign?</h4>
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-weight: inherit; letter-spacing: 0px;">VS: "When it came to telling the story of Alpha Bravo, we looked to individuals that pushed themselves to be the best of their industry. Each talent continually evolves themselves and their craft. They always have the drive to live life in a forward motion. We wanted to connect with individuals with varied passions. From athletes to singer-songwriters and actors, each member of the TUMI crew is multifaceted and involved in more than one discipline.
"These brand ambassadors are just the beginning of the Alpha Bravo and TUMI journey. &nbsp;We feel these individuals showcase a passion that lives in all of us. It's a passion we want to bring to the forefront. In a way, we are all part of the TUMI crew."
