The Original collection is where the Globe-Trotter story begins. Each suitcase is handcrafted in England using traditional methods that date back to 1897, reflecting a legacy of simplicity, durability, and quiet confidence.

This is luggage created with purpose, built to last, and designed for travellers who value authenticity over adornment.

The case features a black vulcanised fibreboard body paired with matching black leather corners. Chrome fittings lend a refined, modern finish. With no straps, guides, or external embellishments, the silhouette remains clean and true to the original Globe-Trotter form.

The two-wheel construction offers a classic rolling experience, while the absence of an extendable trolley system keeps the design lightweight and unmistakably heritage. A sturdy top handle allows for comfortable carrying, and the spacious interior is lined in soft fabric, ideal for longer itineraries.

Part of the Original collection, this suitcase captures the essence of a Globe-Trotter: timeless, well-made, and ready to journey through life by your side.

For more capacity and a four-wheel alternative, explore the Original Large Check-In in the same clean-lined silhouette.

Vulcanised Fibreboard

Lighter than aluminium and tougher than leather, Vulcanised Fibreboard is our unique proprietary material and is made from 14 layers of recycled paper bonded with zinc.

Corners

The iconic corners of our cases are crafted from Vulcanised Fibre, the same material used since 1897. This material is moulded for optimal strength and durability, ensuring the longevity of your case.

Handles

It’s quite fitting that our durable handles are made entirely by hand. With the core materials bonded together for 48 hours before construction even begins.

Serial plaque

Each case is truly one of a kind, individualised with its own unique serial number. Find it on a metal plaque inside your case, and use it to track your movements around the globe.

Lining

The inside of your case is an ode to your individual character. Durable and water resistant, the luxurious inner lining is meticulously crafted and can stay suited to the bag or customised to feel individual to you.

Locks

Each case comes with carbon steel locks so you can travel with peace of mind. Turn to a North-South position to unlock and East-West to lock.
