The Safari Miniature Case is a light-hearted companion with timeless roots. Handcrafted in England, this compact cross-body bag draws on Globe-Trotter’s iconic luggage silhouette, scaled down for everyday adventure. It’s ideal for those who travel light but carry a strong sense of style.
Constructed from Globe-Trotter’s signature vulcanised fibreboard in a warm brown finish, the case is trimmed with natural leather corners and fittings that begin in a soft blush and deepen into a rich caramel patina with time. Gold-tone hardware adds a refined glint, echoing the golden era of travel in every detail.
Perfect for daily essentials, the soft fabric-lined interior holds items like a cardholder, keys, lipstick, and a phone. The adjustable leather strap allows for comfortable cross-body wear, whether navigating cobbled streets, gallery openings, or tucked-away cafés.
Part of the Safari collection, the Miniature Case turns everyday moments into small adventures. It matures with you, gathering marks and memories as it journeys by your side.

Interior
Vegetable tanned leather interior hinges with leather logo patch
Vulcanised Fibreboard
The main structure is made from Globe-Trotter’s proprietary Vulcanised Fibreboard, comprising 14 layers of recycled paper, cotton, and wood pulp from sustainable sources. Bonded with zinc and compressed with steam and pressure, this material is chosen for its exceptional lightness, strength, and distinctive character. It offers lasting protection and a refined finish unique 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 leather is ethically sourced, ensuring traceability and a commitment to animal welfare and environmentally responsible production.
Handles and Strap
Both the top handle and the crossbody strap are made from reinforced vegetable-tanned leather, carefully bonded and hand-finished for comfort and longevity.
Lining
The interior is lined with finely woven cotton or a cotton-blend fabric, selected for its softness, durability, and ability to complement the bag’s exterior palette.
Locks and Hardware
Hardware, including the clasp and strap fittings, is precision-engineered from carbon steel or solid brass and finished in gold, chrome, or other signature tones. Each component is selected for refined appearance and long-term performance.
Serial Plaque
Every bag includes a unique, individually numbered metal plaque inside. This plaque certifies authenticity and provides a permanent record of provenance.
