The Original collection is where the Globe-Trotter story begins. Since 1897, these suitcases have been handcrafted in England using traditional techniques that have stood the test of time. Each case represents a commitment to simplicity, longevity, and craftsmanship without compromise.

This is luggage for those who value heritage and intention. Designed to last, built to travel, and made with clarity of purpose.

The case is crafted from navy vulcanised fibreboard with black leather corners, creating a subtle yet distinctive contrast. Chrome fittings bring a crisp, polished finish, while the absence of straps or guides reinforces the clean, minimalist silhouette that defines the collection.

The two-wheel design offers a stable, classic rolling experience. Without a telescopic trolley system, the case retains its original, upright form and is carried by a robust leather handle. Inside, the spacious fabric-lined interior is well suited to extended trips, balancing structure with flexibility.

Part of the Original collection, this suitcase is an expression of Globe-Trotter’s design ethos, thoughtful, enduring, and made to accompany you through a lifetime of travel.

For added capacity and the ease of a four-wheel design, explore the Original Large Check-In in the same heritage 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.
