For frequent flyers, travel is simply endured. And those that do it best know how to dodge (or at least limit) its negatives — jet lag, loud children, lost luggage, boredom. Victor Sanz, Creative Director for Tumi, has made dampening the blow of these trials his trade.
The products he designs are simple in form but absurdly specific. Tumi’s luggage makes use of tracking software in case your bag is lost or stolen, a patented (and very proprietary) ballistic nylon material, a zipper redesigned to make jams all but eliminated, the exclusive use of one of the world’s strongest thermoplastics and more. Tumi and Sanz aim to make luxury not for luxury’s sake, but for utility and longevity.
On top of being involved in every step of product design and development, Sanz, as you’d guess, does a fair bit of traveling himself. Here’s the gear he doesn’t leave home without.
