The Safari Large Check-In is made for meaningful travel. Handcrafted in England, this two-wheel suitcase recalls a time when journeys unfolded at a gentler pace and luggage was built to last a lifetime.
Its shell is formed from Globe-Trotter’s signature vulcanised fibreboard in a crisp ivory finish, offering strength, lightness, and timeless simplicity. Natural leather corners and handles begin in a delicate blush and mature into a rich golden caramel over time. Gold-tone fittings complete the case with a subtle, polished glow that softens as the piece ages gracefully.
With an 83-litre capacity, this suitcase offers ample room for extended trips. Inside, a soft fabric lining protects your belongings. The two-wheel format provides smooth, grounded movement, suited to travellers who favour a more traditional, composed travel experience.
Part of the Safari collection, this suitcase is not just made to move. It is made to grow, to carry the marks of your stories, and to become a treasured companion through every chapter of your journey.

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.
