Globe-Trotter Brand History
Globe-Trotter is a British luxury luggage brand renowned for its timeless craftsmanship and durable design. The company was founded in 1897 in Germany by David Nelken, but relocated to the United Kingdom in 1932, where it established its headquarters in Hertfordshire.
Key Milestones:
- 1897 – Globe-Trotter was established, producing suitcases made from vulcanized fibreboard, a unique material that remains central to the brand's identity.
- 1901 – Globe-Trotter trunks were chosen by early explorers for their strength and lightweight construction.
- 1932 – The company moved to England, where production and design continued to evolve while maintaining traditional techniques.
- 1950s–1960s – Globe-Trotter gained popularity among celebrities, royalty, and world leaders.
- 2000s – The brand introduced limited-edition collaborations with high-profile designers, including Turnbull & Asser and Hermès.
Craftsmanship and Innovation:
- Globe-Trotter suitcases are crafted from vulcanized fibreboard, made by compressing layers of paper and cotton pulp.
- The corners are hand-moulded and riveted, a technique that gives each piece its distinct durability and vintage look.
- The designs reflect British heritage while incorporating modern updates for today's travelers.
Notable Clients and Cultural Impact:
- Globe-Trotter has been favored by Queen Elizabeth II (who used a Globe-Trotter case on her honeymoon in 1947).
- James Bond films have also featured Globe-Trotter luggage, reinforcing its association with elegance and adventure.
- Celebrities and fashion icons like David Beckham and Kate Moss have been spotted with Globe-Trotter cases.
Legacy and Modern Appeal:
Globe-Trotter remains synonymous with refined travel, blending traditional British craftsmanship with a sense of adventure. The brand’s collaborations with Turnbull & Asser and other luxury houses further highlight its place in the world of high-end travel accessories.
