The Globe -Trotter Suitcase
Words: Gentleman's Journal

Globe-Trotter suitcases are loved all over the world and have become iconic, it is fair to say that they are the ultimate travel accessory.
Globe-Trotter was originally founded in 1897 in Germany by Englishman David Nelken, however the company soon returned to the UK in 1901 where they have remained ever since. Today each Globe-Trotter case is made in Broxbourne Hertfordshire where they are made using traditional methods and go through an unbelievable amount of production processes, resulting in an end product that is not only timeless in looks, but will no doubt last longer than you.
This 28 inch navy suitcase seen here above is made from vulcanised fibreboard; a special material invented in Britain during the 1850’s that consists of multiple layers of bonded paper, making it extremely strong but extremely light. With it’s leather handles and the unmistakable Globe-Trotter corners this stylish suitcase will make traveling that little bit less stressful. conranshop.com
