Travelling in style has never looked this dapper, and the credit goes to the Thom Browne x Globe-Trotter Luggage Collection. This partnership brings together Globe-Trotter’s signature British vulcanized fibreboard structure and Thom Browne’s distinct American tailoring aesthetic. The tricolour collection spans three sophisticated pieces: the Micro Case, the Carry-On, and the Check-In. Designed to make you look like a million bucks, each piece is dressed in pebble-grain leather, accented with Thom Browne’s iconic RWB stripe on the exterior and classic university stripe Oxford fabric on the interior.
The decades of heritage tradition and expert craftsmanship are unmistakable. According to Thom Browne, each piece is handcrafted in Hertfordshire, England, using traditional techniques and Victorian-era machinery. It involves an astonishing 98 individual steps and 10 days of work per case. Layers of paper are chemically treated and pressed into a rigid shell that holds up better than hide under stress while weighing less than a metal case of the same size. Thom Browne then wraps that shell in textured pebble-grain leather, chosen to soften and patina gracefully over time rather than stay showroom-new.
Clearly, no masterpiece is created overnight, and this collection is no exception. It takes its time to keep the golden age of travel alive, delivering pieces built to go the distance and last across generations. The Thom Browne x Globe-Trotter Luggage Collection is available exclusively in select Thom Browne stores with the Micro Case selling for $3,250, the Carry-On for $4,250, and the Check-In for $5,900.
