The Safari Small Carry-On is a journey in itself. A refined companion for those who embrace the spirit of adventure and the elegance of a bygone era. Inspired by the golden age of travel, this two-wheel case evokes imagery of African safaris, steam trains, and distant horizons.
Handcrafted in England, the brown vulcanised fibreboard exterior is complemented by natural leather corners and handles, which gradually transform over time. Initially a soft blush, the leather darkens with each adventure, developing a rich patina that tells the story of your travels. The gold-tone fittings add a refined touch, catching the light like a beacon of timeless luxury.
With a 30-litre capacity, this small carry-on is ideal for short getaways and hand luggage. It offers ample space for your essentials while remaining compact and easy to handle. The two smooth-rolling wheels provide a stable and traditional rolling experience, perfect for gliding through both bustling airports and quiet, cobbled streets.
Each journey with this case adds to its narrative, making it more than just luggage. It is a true companion, growing more beautiful with every mile you travel. Whether you’re escaping for a weekend or embarking on a spontaneous adventure, the Safari Small Carry-On offers both style and substance for the modern traveller.

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.
