The Orient Medium Check-In evokes the spirit of grand voyages, drawing inspiration from the iconic elegance of the Orient Express and the golden age of rail travel. Handcrafted in England, this four-wheel case blends refined functionality with the artistry of time-honoured techniques.
Its striking exterior features multiple layers of hand-applied Urushi lacquer, a revered Japanese craft using natural sap from the Urushi tree. Cured over time, the lacquer develops a high-gloss finish with a depth and richness that subtly shifts with the light. Only a handful of master artisans can produce this level of finish, making each case a true one of a kind.
Burgundy leather corners, inked by hand for precision and definition, bring structure and warmth to the silhouette. Polished gold fittings complete the design with a touch of opulence, while the four-wheel construction ensures effortless movement through airport lounges, hotel lobbies and beyond.
The interior is lined in soft chamel, a plush suede-like textile reserved for Globe-Trotter’s most elevated collections. With a 60-litre capacity, it offers ample space for 5 to 7 nights away, striking the perfect balance between practicality and poise.
For those who favour the heritage of classic travel, discover the Medium Check-In with two wheels. For extended journeys, the Large Check-In offers additional capacity within the same elevated design.

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.
