Tumi is heading north. The travel and lifestyle brand is set to join Leeds’ historic Victoria Quarter in June, marking its first location in the North of England, and more specifically, Yorkshire.

Victoria Leeds operator Redical noted that the impending arrival “will bolster [our] position as the go-to location for city debuts outside of London and regional firsts”. 

​It will be the first new UK store for the brand since taking up residence on Brompton Road in Knightsbridge, London, last summer and the new 517 sq ft store will feature Tumi’s extensive selection of premium luggage, backpacks, business and travel products. Customers will be able to personalise their pieces with a premium monogramming service available in store.

Deepak Patel, brand manager at Tumi, said: “Victoria Leeds’ sophisticated retail landscape perfectly complements our craftmanship and innovation. With a highly engaged customer base, we’re confident that Tumi will resonate with the distinctive style and energy of Leeds.”

Tumi’s entry to Victoria Leeds also marks the second North of England debut at the destination this year, with Australian skincare brand, Aesop, recently opening its flagship.

London-based Redical acquired Victoria Leeds in 2022 alongside The Liberty Romford followed by Clayton Square in 2021.
