I love travel, and over the years I’ve had a little obsession over finding the perfect luggage. I’ve tried a lot of brands and have different types of all kinds of travel occasions, but it’s always been a dream that one day I would have a tower of Globe-Trotter luggage, in all sorts of different color and hardware combinations. I received my second piece of Globe-Trotter this week and so thought it’d be a good time to share with you my little collection. Also for those of you new to the brand I’d highly recommend you check out the Globe-Trotter site where you can also view a very cool video showing how these trolleys are hand made.
I bought my new red Centenary model from the very kind Nick of Bespoke England. Bespoke ships VAT free around the world and they have the best customer service ever – Nick was kind enough to order me this model made directly from the Globe-Trotter factory as they didn’t have it in stock. I would highly recommend Bespoke and especially Nick – you can tell him hello from me!
My new Centenary is the 21” size which is good for carry on on most airlines – you can see it here with it’s big sister, the 30” suitcase. This was a special edition, from a first glance you can see that there are red flowers lining the case..
And if you take a closer look, the flowers are made out of mary jane heels! How sweet is that?

And finally, my little Globe-Trotter collection. I can’t wait to use them while traveling and beat them up a bit! I hope to have a full tower one day.
so fancy! love these

What beauties! Mine are bashed to bits now, I can't wait to see that they're like in another 20 years.
These are beautiful! I too hope to have a tower of well loved (and slightly beaten up) luggage, though the brand is the least of my worries. I want travel
Did you know that J. Crew carries them in two different sizes? Here's one: http://www.jcrew.com/womens_feature/JCrewingoodcompany/movedtoshopbycategory/globetrotter/PRDOVR~99431/99431.jsp?TCode=GGBS00002)
oh wow these are so british! If I bought them, I don't know if I would be able to have them beaten up. They just look so good like this, so shiny and posh!
What sweet looking luggage. I really like the retro vibe- reminds me of how glamorous travel must have been.

These look amazing! And those heel-flowers are soo cute! I hope your wish come true one day!
Love the print inside! Thanks for sharing.
well these are certainly lovely.
Love the cool floral heels lining. What a lovely luggage set you have. It has a old English of the late 1800s, early 1900s look to it. So different from the modern luggage nowadays.

oh wow – those are gorgeous!

What a glamorous pair for traveling
Wow! You have great taste Kat! I absolutely adore these. Would love to see a follow up post on these after a few months to see how they age. I would just get them for decoration purposes only LOL.
Orient collection is FAB!
Unbelievably gorgeous travel luggage…great vintage charm and so well made! Love your pick, I'm glad Nick helped you roder it

Beautiful!! They are almost too perfect to use for travel.
Oooooh….these are amazing! Ever since I arrived in England, I've started to appreciate more of the traditional English brands. These Globetrotter suitcases are something that have been on my mind for a while. Yours are beyond beautiful.

I love the old-school vibe to them. And, I also like that they are modern in that they have wheels. They are beautiful, and you won't see a sea of them at the airport.
These look like my granma n granpa's travel cases! Love them!!
Such gorgeous suitcases, I love them! Thanks for sharing, I'll definitely be checking out this brand.

These are gorgeous! I've been thinking of getting a set myself.. but I've heard they are heavy – do you think the weight is bearable? And most importantly – can we custom make them with four wheels? I am such sucker for easy-wheelies and can't fathom having to carry any luggage, chic as these may be!
these are so beautiful!
How grand! Beautiful indeed
Kat, I've tagged you in a post on my blog, if you've got a sec, I'd love for you to see it

The detailed flowers prints which are actually pairs of shoes is just lovely!
Cheers!

Did you see the JCrew for Globe Trotter one? It's a great bright yellow but I couldn't believe they were marking *up* the price. It almost feels like Coach personalizing a LV speedy and pricing it higher than a classic speedy. I love yours though, they're classic and gorgeous

how gorgeous – I love them! It's hard to go past anything which makes flowers out of Mary Jane highheels… hope you're having a great week!
Wow! Those are some serious travelling trotter. They do look very sturdy. I'm sure you'll enjoy them =)
OMG!!! Gorgeous. I love the color of the red, not too dark just the perfect color and the details, WOW!. When you travel next you have to take a pic of the place and your luggage like that commercial with the gnome. These needs to be seen everywhere.
Those are so, so lovely…inside and out! Beautiful luggage just brightens up the journey. As someone who's been dragging around a battered black thing on wheels that was actually a freebie from a credit card rewards promo, I'm inspired to find something more elegant.
I like that they don't look too big, either…I've been holding on to my battered suitcase because it's fairly small and I can't seem to find decent ones in a similar size.
Those are absolutely beautiful! I've never heard of Globe Trotter (probably because I never travel and am lucky if I get to leave the state), but now I'm obsessed!
They have two wheels…but I'm not sure about four! I might ask them
They're so exquisitely crafted! I'd like to know, however, if they're very heavy. I got a boring but very practical/functional Briggs & Riley 20" for int'l travels but am also considering another 21" Rimowa.
Hey, I’m in the process of ordering one and would like to know whether you customized the strap color. The other pictures that I saw online showed a lighter color for the straps. But maybe it’s just the lighting of your photo? Thanks!
Hi! It must be just the lighting, the strap wasn’t customized. Enjoy your luggage!
I love your luggage. How did you get to choose the mary jane lining?
Thank you Rica! They were from a limited edition that Globe Trotter did.
