Partners in Excellence
The Grand Opening did not fail to showcase upfront that the brand meant business. Over 70 invited personalities and names with their own renown took part in the opening, including Congressman Franz Pumaren, celebrity couple Cristalle Belo and Justin Pitt, and accomplished designer Maureen Disini.
On TUMI’s part, several heavy hitters cut the ribbon to mark this storefront’s arrival. From Ayala Malls President Mariana Zobel de Ayala to Samsonite Group President Subrata Dutta, there was no corner cut when it came to extending TUMI’s trademark excellence towards its partners and collaborators.
Gleaming Highlights
On-site product demonstrations let all guests enjoy sneak peeks into possible future sidepiece statements. Not just any products were handed to excited hands, as standout pieces from TUMI’s Fall 2024 and Holiday 2024 collections were involved. The Women’s Voyageur collection had a distinct energy of timeless elegance and adaptability, which carried over to everyone that got to hold a piece on opening day.
The all-new Turin collection, on the other hand, had all the businessman’s eyes gleaming with collective excitement as the premium Italian leather finish was accentuated with elevated metal details. For the modern, multifaceted man in attendance that day? They already had their eyes on their next overseas trip if it meant bringing one of these pieces with them.
TUMI’s products carry prestige all on their own, yet it was truly the storefront itself that stole the show. When guests held their chosen piece, they were transported to a world of pure elegance inside the Manifest Concept design interiors.
Spanning an impressive 123 square meters, guests—and future TUMI customers—would enjoy a spacious layout that was far from suffocating. As the first of its kind in the country, it highlighted a unique and modern aesthetic defined by a sleek white and grey color palette. Talk about minimalist futurism, as mirrored elements and silver-white lighting infused the place with a chic spirit.
Notable design elements included a curved arch portal shopfront, natural marble pattern finishes, titanium-colored magnetic walls, and a dedicated accessories tower and demonstration table that is entirely unique to the Manifest Concept Design.

Needless to say, booking future trips abroad and plans out of home just got a boost. The excitement starts at the pre-planned shopping with TUMI. When entering the soft, curved edges of the Manifest Concept Design’s fixtures and immersing yourself in the elegantly inviting ambience, you’re celebrating excellence and excitement for a better future alongside the luggage brand.
You deserve prestige. Let that be apparent right away when you step foot into this all-new elite storefront of TUMI.
