مجموعة Asra هي الإصدار الأحدث لفئة TUMI النسائية المتطورة، والمصمم للمرأة العصرية الأنيقة والعملية. تتضمن المجموعة ثلاثة أحجام وأربعة ألوان جذابة – اللون الأسود الأساسي لماركة TUMI، والألوان الموسمية: Moonlight وCameo Rose وPurple Sunset. تتميز كل حقيبة Asra بطيّات ذات تصميم ناعم، وملحقات تتّسق مع التصميم، وحزام كتف معقود لمزيد من التميُّز المرئي والملموس. تشمل اللمسات الإضافية جيبًا خارجيًا مبطنًا بالألياف الدقيقة، مما يجعله مثاليًا للهاتف أو للنظارات الشمسية، وحلية من الحروف المصنوعة من الجلد (تُباع بشكل منفصل) لإضفاء الطابع الشخصي المميز لـ TUMI.

شهدت أمسية “اكتشاف Asra” سلسلة من المفاجآت، حيث أخذت الضيوف في رحلة حميميّة لاكتشاف الجاذبية الحديثة لـ Asra. بدأت التجربة برحلة بحرية عند غروب الشمس على متن يختين فاخرين يحملان علامة TUMI لنقل الضيوف إلى جزيرة Sentosa. عند وصول الضيوف تم نقلهم إلى مكان عشاء لكبار الشخصيات الموجود في نادي Sentosa للغولف. احتفل المكان، الذي تم تحويله إلى “جناح سنتوسا” الأنيق، بالأسلوب السهل الذي تجسده الفنانةMun ولغة التصميم وألوان Asra، بما في ذلك لون غروب الشمس الأرجواني النابض بالحياة المستوحى من المناظر الطبيعية الجميلة في جزيرة Sentosa.

صادف الضيوف أثناء سيرهم عبر المدخل واجهة عرض دوارة تضم مجموعة متنوعة من تصاميم Asra محاطة بخلفية من الزهور الناعمة المنحنية والأقواس المزينة بالحرير المستوحاة من تصميم الحقيبة. بعد ذلك، تم نقلهم إلى “غرفة الرخام”، وهي غرفة بزخرفة معمارية ترضي جميع الأذواق تحيي حملة Asra وتضمنت عرض Asra العائم في لون Cameo Rose المذهل. عند وصولهم إلى وجهتهم تقريبًا اجتاز الضيوف “ممرAsra ” الساحر مع عرض للمجموعة إلى جانب عرض فيديو آسر لمحترف الفنون البصرية Markus Kanzler. وعند وصول الضيوف إلى غرفة الطعام، جلسوا حول طاولات طويلة موضوعة حول حافة الغرفة. كانت لوحات LED الممتدة على طول الجدران بمثابة لوحة فنية لسرد قصص تحكي كل تفاصيل الأمسية، احتفالاً بالشراكة بين TUMI و Mun.

استمتع الضيوف المشاهير من جميع أنحاء منطقة آسيا والمحيط الهادئ بالاحتفالات في “اكتشاف Asra”

بعد تقديم Sanz رسميًا للفنانة Mun، تم تقديم قائمة طعام مخصصة للضيوف صممها المدير الفني الشهير، Loic Serot بالتعاون مع الشيف Bjoern Alexander Panek، الذي كان يعمل سابقًا في مطعم Octavium في هونج كونج الحائز على جائزة two-Michelin-starred. تم التركيز خلال فترة تناول كلّ طبق من الأطباق الخمسة، على لحظات محدّدة من حياة الفنانة Mun، – بدءًا من تراثها المتنوع ثقافيًا كامرأة كورية ولدت في ألمانيا إلى موهبتها الموسيقية وأدوار البطولة وتعيينها كأحدث سفيرة لشركة TUMI. رافق تناول كل طبق عروض مرئية تم إنشاؤها خصيصًا وعروض موسيقية حية. استمرت الاحتفالات تحت السماء المليئة النجوم مع حفل “اكتشاف Asra” الذي جرى في الهواء الطلق، والذي اكتمل وازداد تألقاً من خلال عرض ألعاب نارية رقمية مبهرة، وأداء مثير للفنانة DJ Siena من كوريا الجنوبية، وكوكتيلات من إعداد شركة Nutmeg & Clove السنغافورية الحائزة على جوائز عديدة، وجدار فني من الحلوى أعده الشيف السنغافوري Janice Wong.

Singapore was chosen for the launch as the destination that inspired TUMI’s Spring 2024 collection and palette.

The Asra collection is the latest addition 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 effortless 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.

Upon entering, 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. Guests then walked through 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. 

Celebrity guests from across Asia-Pacific enjoyed the festivities at “Discovering Asra”

After Sanz’s official introduction of Mun, guests were treated to a bespoke menu conceptualized by renowned Art Director, Loic Serot in collaboration with Chef Bjoern Alexander, formerly of two-Michelin-starred restaurant Octavium. Inspired by Mun, each of the five courses zoomed in on a defining moment in her life – from her culturally diverse heritage as a Korean woman born in Germany to her musical talent, starring roles and appointment as TUMI’s newest ambassador. Visual projections and a  live musical performance accompanied the dinner. The festivities continued under the stars with the “Discovering Asra” party complete with dazzling digital fireworks, a performance by South Korean DJ Siena, cocktails by Singapore’s Nutmeg & Clove, and an edible dessert wall by Singaporean chef Janice Wong.

The new Asra collection is available now at TUMI stores worldwide and TUMI.com
