" A tip of the proverbial hat to George Esquivel, who just snagged the top creative spot at international luggage giant, Tumi. The L.A.-based designer will now split his time between the West Coast \u2014 where he&amp;#039;ll continue on at the helm of his eponymous footwear line, Esquivel \u2014 and Tumi&amp;#039;s design headquarters in NYC. While in New York, he&amp;#039;ll help set seasonal product direction, review design concepts, and generally guide the brand to a more stylish tomorrow. You know, creative director stuff. The results of his efforts should be felt later this year, when Esquivel-influenced Tumi gear starts landing on shelves worldwide for the holiday season. Of the new gig, Esquivel says he&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;excited to contribute to the brand&amp;#039;s evolution by injecting a new sense of creativity and emotion.&amp;quot; We say: likewise.
