The Safari Medium Check-In is built for the kind of journeys that stay with you. Handcrafted in England, this four-wheel suitcase blends enduring function with the timeless elegance of heritage travel.
The case is constructed from Globe-Trotter’s signature vulcanised fibreboard in a deep brown finish, offering lightweight durability with a refined, classic aesthetic. Natural leather corners and handles start in a delicate blush and develop a rich caramel patina over time. Gold-tone fittings add a subtle touch of luxury, reflecting the quiet confidence of a well-travelled life.
With a 60-litre capacity, this case is perfectly sized for week-long escapes. Inside, a soft fabric lining offers generous space for clothing and travel essentials, while the four smooth-rolling wheels provide effortless movement through airports and city streets alike.
Part of the Safari collection, this suitcase is more than a piece of luggage. It is a companion designed to evolve with every journey, gaining beauty and character through the passage of time.

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.
