Luckily, for all the stores and hotels damaged and graffiti’d in Piccadilly after the peaceful TUC march on Saturday, our Tumi store at 170 Piccadilly was unscathed.

The only Graffiti remained the impressive window display featuring John ‘Crash’ Matos artwork and collaboration with Tumi for the Tag collection.  Below is an interview talking about the collaboration. Eye catching cases to say the least.

Following on from last week’s launch of the Tumi Tag Collection By Crash in Selfridges,  you can now view the Crash Gallery at 170 Piccadilly – newly installed today. Sometimes, pictures say more than words … 

As mentioned previously (see below), the Tag Collection by Crash launched this morning at Selfridges London. Here’s a picture of the installation below, but there’s nothing like going to see it for yourself in the flesh.

Can luggage be art? It can now … as Tumi introduces a collaboration with the urban artist John “Crash” Matos. His high-impact graffiti inspired work has travelled from subway trains in New York to top galleries around the world, and will be landing with a special installation at Selfridges next Monday 14th March 2011. 

The Tumi Tag Limited Edition Collection will feature four new pieces for its ultra modern Vapor line, which we have often lauded for it’s distinctive design, look and feel – Crash, without doubt adds a different dimension to an already great collection.

Each travel bag will showcase a portion of Crash’s explosive new artwork. The interior of each bag will prominently feature one of four working drawings created by the artist and include the unique edition number that authenticates the case as a distinct piece in the exclusive collection. Only 1000 pieces of each of the four styles will be produced in addition to a one-of-a-kind i phone case.

After launching in Selfridges, the cases will also be available at our Harrods Travel Goods concession, and at the Tumi flagship store at 170 Piccadilly. You can also purchase online at caseluggage.com – order now and we will ship as soon as possible next week – stock is very limited.

How will you use yours – as luggage or a piece of art?
