Vulcanised Fibreboard
The Vanity Case is constructed from Globe-Trotter’s proprietary Vulcanised Fibreboard, made from 14 layers of recycled paper, cotton, and wood pulp sourced from sustainable forests. The material is bonded with zinc and compressed using steam and pressure, resulting in a shell that is exceptionally lightweight, strong, and unique 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 leather is ethically sourced, ensuring full traceability and a commitment to animal welfare and environmentally responsible production.
Internal Tray
Inside, the Vanity Case features a removable wooden tray, expertly crafted for structural integrity and lightness. The tray is lined with finely woven cotton or cotton-blend fabric and finished with hand-cut, vegetable-tanned leather trims for added refinement and durability.
Handle
The top handle is constructed from reinforced, vegetable-tanned leather, bonded, pressed, and hand-finished for comfort and lasting strength.
Lining
The interior, including the tray, is lined with a premium cotton or cotton-blend fabric, selected for its soft feel, durability, and complementary colour.
Locks and Hardware
The Vanity Case features a precision-engineered combination lock and fittings made from carbon steel or solid brass, finished in gold, chrome, or signature tones. All hardware is chosen for security, longevity, and refined style.
Serial Plaque
A unique, individually numbered metal plaque is fitted inside each Vanity Case, certifying authenticity and providing a permanent record of provenance.
