Vulcanised Fibreboard
Each case is made from Globe-Trotter’s proprietary Vulcanised Fibreboard, composed of 14 layers of recycled
paper, cotton, and wood pulp from sustainable forests. The layers are bonded with zinc and compressed using
steam and pressure. This results in a material that is exceptionally lightweight and strong, offering
durability for a lifetime of travel while remaining easy to carry. We use this material for its unique
balance of strength and lightness, which is exclusive to Globe-Trotter.
Vegetable-Tanned Leather
All leather elements, including the hand-moulded corners, trims, handles and fastening details, are made
from vegetable-tanned hide. This traditional tanning method uses only natural plant extracts to create
leather of exceptional strength and character. Over time, it develops a rich patina, ensuring that every
case becomes ever more individual with each journey.
Ethical Sourcing
All leathers are ethically sourced. We partner only with suppliers who uphold high standards of animal
welfare and environmental responsibility. This ensures full traceability and a commitment to sustainable
production.
Webbing Straps
Webbing straps are woven from high-strength cotton, chosen for durability and a classic finish. Each strap
is finished with hand-cut vegetable-tanned leather tips, providing added strength and an elevated detail.
This combination ensures lasting reliability and refined style.
Handles
Handles are constructed from a blend of bonded leather and reinforcement materials, pressed for 48 hours
before hand assembly. This method provides both comfort in the hand and long-term durability, making every
journey effortless.
Lining
The interior is lined with a finely woven cotton or cotton-blend fabric, selected for its soft touch,
strength, and complementary aesthetic.
Locks and Hardware
Locks and hardware are precision-engineered from carbon steel or solid brass, then finished in gold, chrome,
or signature tones. Each piece is chosen for its security, durability, and ease of use.
Serial Plaque
A unique, individually numbered metal plaque is placed inside every case. This confirms authenticity and
provides a permanent mark of provenance.
