HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 28 March 2024 – TUMI, the leading international travel and lifestyle brand, celebrated a new milestone yesterday with the introduction of its newest global ambassador, esteemed South Korean actress Mun Ka Young. Mun attended the exclusive event held in Singapore on March 27th to commemorate the launch of TUMI’s newest women’s handbag collection, Asra, and her first-ever campaign with the brand.
The Asra collection is the latest edition to TUMI’s evolving women’s category, designed for the effortlessly stylish and on-the-go modern woman. It includes three sizes and four compelling colors – TUMI’s core Black and seasonal colors Moonlight, Cameo Rose, and Purple Sunset. Each Asra bag features pleating with a soft structure, coordinating hardware, and a knotted shoulder strap for added visual and textural interest. Additional touches include an exterior microfiber-lined pocket, perfect for a phone or pair of sunglasses, and a leather monogram charm (sold separately) to add TUMI’s signature personalization.
The “Discovering Asra” evening unfolded through a series of surprises, taking guests on an intimate journey to discover the modern allure of Asra. The experience began with a sunset cruise aboard two luxurious TUMI-branded yachts that brought guests to Sentosa. Upon arrival, guests were whisked away to the VIP dinner venue located at Sentosa Golf Club. The venue, which had been transformed into the elegant “Sentosa Pavilion,” celebrated the effortlessly style embodied by Mun and the design language and colors of Asra, including the vibrant Purple Sunset colorway inspired by the beautiful landscapes of Sentosa Island.
Walking through the entrance, guests encountered a rotating showcase featuring a variety of Asra silhouettes framed by a backdrop of soft, curved flower and silk adorned arches inspired by the bag’s design. Next, they were led into the “Marble Room”, an architectural delight that paid homage to the Asra campaign and featured a floating Asra display in striking Cameo Rose. Nearly at their destination, guests traversed the mesmerizing “Asra Alley” with the collection displayed against a captivating video projection by visual artist Markus Kanzler. Arriving in the dining room, guests took their seats at long tables positioned around the edge of the room. LED panels along the walls served as a canvas for the evening’s expansive storytelling, celebrating the partnership between TUMI and Mun.
