Tumi’s 40th Anniversary Collection of Leather Luggage and Travel Accessories

Tumi’s 40th Anniversary Collection of Leather Luggage and Travel Accessories
In 1975, after serving in the Peace Corps in Peru, Charlie Clifford founded
the ШУУД ҮЗЭХ New Jersey–based

leather-goods and accessories maker Tumi. Now, in celebration of its 40th anniversary, the company—named after a type of Peruvian ceremonial knife—has released the Tumi 1975 collection just in time for the summer travel season.
Ranging in price from $75 to $1,895, the retro-inspired 12-piece collection includes the versatile Rucksack backpack, the sleek Slim Portfolio, the Flap Crossbody satchel, and the four-wheel International Carry-On. Each limited-edition item is embossed with a specific number and handcrafted in the United States from full-grain cowhide. Several pieces are accented with durable ballistic nylon, a signature Tumi design element originally worn on the jackets of World War II airmen. A handful of details in the new line recall Tumi’s early years, such as the original logo emblem (an intricate illustration of the Peruvian knife) and the use of bright honey-colored leather, inspired by the hides that Clifford originally imported from South America in the 1970s.

Extraordinarily Rare Natural Fancy Pink Diamond Ring at M.S. Rau Antiques
A remarkably rare and absolutely breathtaking 1.02-carat Natural Fancy Pink diamond is at the center of this enchanting ring. Surrounded
by ШУУД ҮЗЭХ shimmering pink

diamonds totaling 0.47 carats and heart-shaped white diamonds totaling 1.94 carats, this blushing beauty of nature possesses a saturation and clarity that make it one of the rarest diamonds in the world. Set in platinum and 18k rose gold with an additional 0.62 total carats of white diamonds along the band, this exquisite piece exudes romantic charm.
Natural fancy pink diamonds are so rare that most jewelers of fine gems could go their entire careers without even seeing one, much less owning one. Once a treasure reserved solely for royalty, natural fancy pink diamonds are worth approximately 20 times more than their white diamond counterparts, and are found in only a handful of mines, with the famed Argyle mine in Australia producing around 95% of all the pink diamonds in the world. Of the 80 million carats of diamonds excavated at Argyle, a mere .001% are fancy pink, weigh less than a carat, and equate to barely enough to fill the palm of your hand. Incredibly rare and elegantly set, this Natural Fancy pink diamond is an undeniable treasure.

The world of fashion often draws heavily upon the natural world to drive its creativity, and is precisely this link that Russian artist Liliya Hudyakova has such a good eye for. Her Fashion & Nature photo series
pairs ШУУД ҮЗЭХ accomplished

fashion designer’s dresses and other pieces with the natural views that she imagines might have inspired them.

The resulting juxtapositions draw an undeniable link between the clothing we see on the runway (or even wear) and the world that inspired it. Indeed, some of the oldest known pieces of decorative clothing and jewelry imitate or incorporate nature as well.
