Globetrotter Suitcase

The most famous suitcase was created in Saxony, Germany in 1897, but the Globe-Trotters became a part of history since founder David Nelkin brought the business to London in 1901. The suitcase was recognized and coveted by Great British icons such as Queen Elisabeth who chose the Globe-Trotter for her honeymoon luggage. Sir Winston Churchill always used a 18” attaché while Sir Edmund Hilary found the suitcase ideal to take up the first base camp during his conquest of the Everest in 1951. Nowadays, pilots and flight crew of British Airways carry Globe-Trotter cabin cases, and many other Anglophilic people. Each and every Globe-Trotter is uniquely hand made in the Broxbourne -Hertfordshire factory, constructed from lightweight Vulcan Fibre, wood frame, cloth lining and leather trimming, guaranteed to withstand the rigors of travel—or the weight of a one-ton elephant. You can choose your own color combination for the case exterior, the print linings, the contrasting leather corners and even go for a personalized initialing embossed onto the case. If you don’t need a bespoke Globe-Trotter, than what about a cool black Centenary Edition? No other globetrotter can be more cool than with a Globe-Trotter Centenary Black. Prices? Compared to Goyard and Louis-Vuitton prices, the Globe-Trotter almost seems like a steal, even with the pathetic, anemic dollar. A 9 “ (24 x 21 x 12 cm) mini utility case costs £215 (275 € - $425 USD), while a 33” (82 x 47 x 26 cm) will cost you £755 (957 € - $1,490 USD). Check out the price list in the Gallery. A store locator on the Globe-Trotter website will tell you where you can find a retailer nearby.
