A celebration of maritime style in its most playful form, the Cruise Miniature Case reimagines Globe-Trotter’s iconic design as a compact cross-body bag. Handcrafted in England from royal blue Vulcanised Fibreboard with navy leather trim and polished chrome hardware, it captures the spirit of nautical adventure in a piece made for daily use.
With its petite size and structured profile, the Miniature Case brings lightness and charm to any ensemble. The adjustable leather shoulder strap allows for comfortable cross-body wear, while the latch closure and top handle maintain the signature detailing of a classic Globe-Trotter case.
Inside, the ivory lining is printed with crisp blue pinstripes, inspired by sailor uniforms and unique to the Cruise collection. It’s perfectly sized to carry your small essentials, whether you're exploring a new city or heading out for the evening.

Interior

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.
