Tumi Collaborates With Artist John “Crash” Matos
Tumi collaborates with artist John “Crash” Matos on Tags, which is a Limited Edition collection for their Vapor line of travel cases.
Artist “Crash” grew up in the South Bronx, with beginnings in graffiti art. He then made the transition from subway trains and dilapidated buildings to canvas in 1978 – but still painted in the graffiti art style – and presented his solo exhibition in 1981. A highly renowned artist, Crash’s pieces are housed in prestigious museums like MoMA in New York, The Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, along with collections that are housed by private collectors around the world.
The Tags collection consists of four packing cases (shown below), with each showcasing a section of Crash’s work, while the interior of each travel case features one of 4 working drawings by the artist.
The Tags collection is limited to 1,000 pieces in each style (each with a unique limited edition number on the interior of the bag) and will be available this month at Tumi KLCC & Pavilion, with only one piece of each style available.
If luggage and travel cases is not your cup of tea, perhaps you fancy an iPhone 4 case?
