The Safari XL Suitcase is made for grand voyages and generous packing. Inspired by a time when travel was an event in itself, this handcrafted case blends enduring design with the charm of tradition. It invites you to pack beautifully and journey with intention.
The case is constructed from Globe-Trotter’s signature vulcanised fibreboard in a rich brown finish, known for its strength and remarkable lightness. Natural leather corners and a sturdy top handle begin in a soft blush tone and develop a deep, golden patina as they travel with you. Gold-tone fittings complete the design with a warm, understated glow that matures over time.
With a 98-litre capacity, the soft fabric-lined interior provides generous space for longer itineraries and elegant wardrobes. The two-wheel design maintains the iconic suitcase silhouette, while the absence of a trolley system preserves its clean, classic profile. It is a case best carried with pride and placed with care, evoking the timeless rituals of refined travel.
Part of the Safari collection, the XL Suitcase is more than luggage. It is a statement of heritage, designed to grow with you and reflect a life well travelled.

Vulcanised Fibreboard - Ryan
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.
