Luggage, Check

It’s been forever said that it is not what is on the outside that counts, but what is on the inside that truly matters. However when it comes to luggage, such is not the case.

Since 1897, Globe-Trotter has been creating handmade luxury luggage constructed from Vulcan Fibre — a patented Globe-Trotter material “as light as aluminium, yet as hard wearing as the finest leather” — ash wood frame and cloth lining. With this London, England-based luggage company‘s collections spanning from the historically original 19th-century design to “Centenary,”  “Safari,” “Cruise,” “Orient” and their limited-edition designs, it’s hard to not approach purchasing new luggage as if you were handbag shopping.

You’ll start finding yourself itching to travel not so much to discover the world, but simply for the opportunity to pack away your belongings in this chic and sophisticated luggage. With handmade leather trimming, straps and accents, this ELLE magazine-featured luggage will have you planning your next take-off simply to roll out your upright and show off your carry-on.
