The "Original Collection" represents the brand's traditional style, which has continued since the brand's founding in 1897. It features a simple square form that embodies functional beauty, a vulcanized fiber body, and classic corner pieces made of the same material. The two-wheel models, which inherit the style from the brand's founding, are particularly popular, but a four-wheel model was also created to commemorate the brand's 125th anniversary.

While many associate GLOBE-TROTTER with luggage, we also encourage you to check out their leather collection.

The items also offer ample storage capacity, making them useful in business settings as well.

Just as they were among the first to incorporate vulcanized fiber into suitcases, GLOBE-TROTTER 's commitment to innovation—constantly adopting new materials to adapt to the times and create innovative products—is a brand philosophy that they have always cherished.
This "Carbon Fiber Suitcase Collection" is a masterpiece born from a partnership with Prodrive, a motorsport constructor with world-class technical capabilities that has achieved success in races such as the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Extreme E, and the World Rally Championship. The "Forged Carbon" body on the left is impressive with its unique marble-like pattern, where carbon fiber is randomly pressed together, resulting in no two pieces having the same finish. The "Twill Carbon Composite" body on the right has a matte black finish that gives it a chic and luxurious feel. Furthermore, it is lighter, more durable, and has an attractive, more modern look.
3. The "Centenary Watch Case" allows you to stylishly store your favorite watch.
