The Centenary 125 Carry-On with four wheels is a rare expression of refined mobility, created to mark Globe-Trotter’s 125th anniversary. Each piece is made to order and handcrafted in England using time-honoured techniques, reserved only for the most skilled artisans in the Globe-Trotter workshop.
The exterior is built from vulcanised fibreboard and fully wrapped in smooth Heritage Blue leather, a complex and meticulous process requiring extended crafting time and absolute precision. Inked navy leather corners and polished gold fittings complete the case with depth and contrast, while the high-gloss finish reflects a century of considered design.
The four-wheel format introduces smooth, 360-degree mobility to this limited edition piece, designed to meet most major cabin size requirements. It’s ideal for short trips where sophistication and practicality go hand in hand.
Inside, the case is lined in soft fabric and offers room for a well-planned wardrobe. Whether packed for a journey or placed on display, this is a case that reflects experience, skill and understated confidence.

Airplane Suitability
Meets requirements for most major airlines as Carry-On luggage. A small number of airlines may ask economy class passengers to check in this suitcase.
Vulcanised Fibreboard
Each case is made from Globe-Trotter’s proprietary Vulcanised Fibreboard, composed of 14 layers of recycled paper, cotton, and wood pulp from sustainable forests. The layers are bonded with zinc and compressed using steam and pressure. This results in a material that is exceptionally lightweight and strong, offering durability for a lifetime of travel while remaining easy to carry. We use this material for its unique balance of strength and lightness, which is exclusive to Globe-Trotter.
Vegetable-Tanned Leather
All leather elements, including the hand-moulded corners, trims, handles and fastening details, are made from vegetable-tanned hide. This traditional tanning method uses only natural plant extracts to create leather of exceptional strength and character. Over time, it develops a rich patina, ensuring that every case becomes ever more individual with each journey.
Ethical Sourcing
All leathers are ethically sourced. We partner only with suppliers who uphold high standards of animal welfare and environmental responsibility. This ensures full traceability and a commitment to sustainable production.
Webbing Straps
Webbing straps are woven from high-strength cotton, chosen for durability and a classic finish. Each strap is finished with hand-cut vegetable-tanned leather tips, providing added strength and an elevated detail. This combination ensures lasting reliability and refined style.
Handles
Handles are constructed from a blend of bonded leather and reinforcement materials, pressed for 48 hours before hand assembly. This method provides both comfort in the hand and long-term durability, making every journey effortless.
Lining
The interior is lined with a finely woven cotton or cotton-blend fabric, selected for its soft touch, strength, and complementary aesthetic.
Locks and Hardware
Locks and hardware are precision-engineered from carbon steel or solid brass, then finished in gold, chrome, or signature tones. Each piece is chosen for its security, durability, and ease of use.
Serial Plaque
A unique, individually numbered metal plaque is placed inside every case. This confirms authenticity and provides a permanent mark of provenance.
