Inspired by the golden era of sea travel, the Cruise XL Trunk brings together the drama of a steamer trunk with the elegance of handcrafted British design. With its royal blue Vulcanised Fibreboard body, navy leather trim and polished chrome fittings, this statement piece captures the maritime spirit that defines the Cruise collection.
Handcrafted in England using traditional methods, the XL Trunk features four smooth-rolling wheels and a telescopic handle for effortless mobility. Its generous 100L capacity offers exceptional space for extended travel, long-haul escapes or journeys where nothing is left behind. Despite its commanding presence, the lightweight structure ensures a seamless travel experience from departure to arrival.
The interior is lined with ivory fabric printed in blue pinstripes, a refined nod to sailor uniforms and the naval heritage behind the design. The open layout offers ample room to pack everything from occasion wear to bulky layers, all secured within the structured shell.
Whether you're embarking on a grand tour or setting off on a once-in-a-lifetime journey, this XL trunk delivers luxury, functionality and timeless character in equal measure.

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.
