The Cotswolds Micro Case brings Globe-Trotter’s legacy of handcrafted travel into a more personal, everyday format. Inspired by the rich hues and textures of the English countryside in autumn, this compact cross-body is equal parts character and craftsmanship.
Handmade in England, the structured silhouette is rendered in durable vulcanised fibreboard and detailed with smooth natural leather corners and handles. The star of the piece lies in the woven embossing on the leather straps, a subtle yet distinctive texture that echoes the craft of countryside saddlery and handwoven details passed through generations.
Polished gold-finished hardware elevates the look, while the adjustable shoulder strap ensures comfort and versatility. The interior is lined and spacious enough to hold daily essentials, making this a refined choice for city strolls, country weekends or light travel days.
Pair it with the Cotswolds Carry-On or Large Check-In for a matching set that brings signature charm and tactile detail to every journey.

Vulcanised Fibreboard
The main structure is made from Globe-Trotter’s proprietary Vulcanised Fibreboard, comprising 14 layers of recycled paper, cotton, and wood pulp from sustainable sources. Bonded with zinc and compressed with steam and pressure, this material is chosen for its exceptional lightness, strength, and distinctive character. It offers lasting protection and a refined finish unique 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 leather is ethically sourced, ensuring traceability and a commitment to animal welfare and environmentally responsible production.
Handles and Strap
Both the top handle and the crossbody strap are made from reinforced vegetable-tanned leather, carefully bonded and hand-finished for comfort and longevity.
Lining
The interior is lined with finely woven cotton or a cotton-blend fabric, selected for its softness, durability, and ability to complement the bag’s exterior palette.
Locks and Hardware
Hardware, including the clasp and strap fittings, is precision-engineered from carbon steel or solid brass and finished in gold, chrome, or other signature tones. Each component is selected for refined appearance and long-term performance.
Serial Plaque
Every bag includes a unique, individually numbered metal plaque inside. This plaque certifies authenticity and provides a permanent record of provenance.
