Compact by design, created for shorter journeys.
Introducing the Metropolis 24 Hour Carry-On, a new 26L format designed for overnight stays, weekend escapes and journeys where travelling light matters most. Smaller and lighter than the classic Metropolis Carry-On, its compact proportions make navigating airports, stations and city streets effortless.
Crafted from Globe-Trotter’s signature Vulcanised Fibreboard and framed by precision-engineered aluminium, the 24 Hour Carry-On brings together heritage craftsmanship and contemporary innovation. Handcrafted leather details and newly engineered hubcap wheels complete its refined, modern design.
The soft, contemporary tones of Fog Blue lend the case a fresh and understated character, complementing the clean lines of the Metropolis silhouette.
Inside, an integrated zip lining system keeps belongings neatly organised and secure, making the most of its streamlined 26L capacity.
Compact, lightweight and cabin-ready, the Metropolis 24 Hour Carry-On is made for shorter journeys without compromising on craftsmanship, functionality or style.
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.
