The Centenary XL Trunk pays homage to the grand steamer trunks of a bygone era, now reimagined for the demands of modern, extended travel. Designed for journeys lasting beyond 14 days, this Large Travel Trunk provides Globe-Trotter’s most spacious packing solution, offering an impressive 100L capacity. Whether packing for an extended stay, an expedition, or a luxurious escape, this trunk ensures you can travel without compromise.
Crafted in England from durable vulcanised fibreboard, the XL Trunk stays true to Globe-Trotter’s heritage, blending traditional craftsmanship with contemporary functionality. The deep black exterior is complemented by meticulously handcrafted black leather corners, straps, guides, and a leather-wrapped trolley handle. Polished chrome fittings add a sleek contrast, enhancing its refined aesthetic while ensuring durability.
Designed for effortless movement, the four-wheel system glides smoothly across any surface, while the ergonomic leather-capped telescopic trolley handle provides seamless navigation through airports, train stations, and city streets. Inside, the expansive storage space is thoughtfully designed with adjustable webbing straps, ensuring your belongings remain secure throughout your journey.
As part of the Centenary Black collection, the XL Trunk is more than just checked luggage. It is a statement piece—an Expedition Trunk built for those who appreciate both heritage craftsmanship and modern innovation.

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.
