Style according to … Victor Sanz: luxury luggage brand Tumi’s creative director knows how to travel in style – he shares his favourite hotels in London and Madrid, and must-visit NYC spots

Victor Sanz first joined luggage brand Tumi in 2003, after studying industrial design at the Pratt Institute in New York. After a short break that saw him working for the likes of Tommy Hilfiger, he returned to Tumi in 2009, rising to the post of creative director in 2016.

As someone who designs suitcases of all kinds for a living, Sanz knows a thing or two about travelling in style. Here, he shares his favourite finds from his home base of New York, and around the world.

[Netflix documentary] Drive to Survive has been on my constant watch list. After Tumi became partners with [racing team] McLaren, I became a huge Formula One fan, and I’ve just loved consuming as much of it as possible. I’m up at all hours of the day and night on Sundays to watch the race and cheer on McLaren, Lando [Norris] and Oscar [Piastri].

Brian Donnelly (@kaws), Sebastian Errazuriz (@sebastianstudio) and CJ Hendry (@cj_hendry): I follow a wide community of artists and designers. I love seeing what others in the creative field are up to.

When it comes to my daily routine, I’m pretty simple: I try not to overcomplicate things. For fragrance, I wear Tumi Awaken or Tumi 19 Degree. The two scents fit every occasion while I’m on the move.
