Our Fashion Director Travels in Style With This Luggage Brand
2 min readTraveling to cover shoots in LA becomes something entirely different when you’re on location—less about a set routine and more about early call times, quick changes, and the constant movement between set and street. For ELLE Fashion Director Alex White, packing is a balance of precision and practicality, where every piece needs to work as hard as she does. Her wardrobe must feel as effortless as it is intentional, and that’s easily achieved when toted along in luggage that’s built to handle many looks with style.
TUMI anchors every step of the journey, ensuring that each transition—from airport to studio—is seamless. White approaches packing the way she styles a shoot: with a clear point of view. Using the TUMI 19 Degree Expandable Carry-On in Washed Yellow, she curates a selection that’s chic and comfortable for set and travel. Inside, she stores a soft cardigan and knit sweater for effortless dimension, sculptural gold cuffs and an embellished belt, and a pair of tailored trousers.
Her accessories are equally considered. Tucked in the Belden Jewelry Case in Thyme, essentials stay organized and protected. Personalization comes into play with statement accents like the Lemon Multi Beads Charm and the rose flower charm, adding a playful pop to any bag. Even more options can be explored through TUMI’s charm assortment, allowing each piece of luggage to feel distinctly individual. The Voyageur Just In Case Medium Tote in Washed Yellow adds both function and versatility—this lightweight tote folds flat to fit completely in its small zip pouch, making it easy to store inside larger bags for those moments when you need to carry last-minute styling pieces or on-set essentials.
The result is a packing system that mirrors the rhythm of an editorial shoot—thoughtful, flexible, and always prepared. TUMI’s intuitive compartments, smooth mobility, and streamlined design transform packing into a refined process, supporting long days on location without ever sacrificing style.
