Three sporty red travel cases are the primary options in the new TUMI x Ducati collection for Autumn 2011. Two duffles, a backpack and a cross body bag round out the offering. They’re designed with TUMI’s ABS polycarbonate blended shells and aircraft grade aluminum handles. Made to last and take a beating. You will also not miss it coming off the luggage return.

Our friends at Hodinkee get the first look at the new Tudor Fastrider Chronograph for Ducati. The Fastride is outfitted with a nylon, steel, or leather strap and features a 42mm face. Pricing depends on the strap really. This is the first collaboration between the Ducati house and Tudor. ”This Ducati-themed Fastrider will not be a limited edition, but will be made in lower numbers than the standard production Fastrider.”

The legendary Ducati Moto brand extends their branding with the opening of the first Ducati Caffe in Rome. Located at 35 Via delle Botteghe Oscure, the Ducati Caffee is a full service dining and meeting experience. What is most interesting is the stylings of the new space. Motorbikes and accessories line the walls and help project the Ducati lifestyle.

“Ducati Caffè is the new concept restaurant and lounge bar signed by Ducati. Inspired by renowned Italian talent, it expresses all the passion of the brand’s values in a concentrate of class, fashion and authenticity. Caffè, food and wine, merchandising, and clothes meet in a one of a kind and unforgettable place.”

There’s a new Ducati Hypermotard motorcycle featured prominently in Neiman Marcus’ Men’s Autumn Lookbook and its not some typical motorbike. Its a limited edition model made exclusively for (you guessed it) Neiman Marcus. Now, like me, you may be thinking how is this collaboration a fit? Michael Lock, CEO Ducati North America answers this one,”The collaboration of our brands is a natural fit that highlights the strength of design of premium products.” 

The Ducati Hypermotard features a “Termignoni full exhaust system with performance ECU, Ducati Performance race seat, a specially designed ‘Tricolore’ color and graphics package and an array of carbon fiber accessories.” Thank Advanced Motorsports, one of the premier Ducati dealerships in North America for putting this together. Production is limited so visit the Men’s Fine Toy section of neimanmarcus.com for more information.
