The Centenary London Square offers a fresh interpretation of Globe-Trotter’s iconic design language, transformed into a sophisticated cross-body bag for the modern day. Inspired by the spirit of travel and tailored for daily life, it’s a compact companion that balances heritage craftsmanship with contemporary ease.
Handcrafted in England from our signature vulcanised fibreboard, this edition features a navy body with matching leather trim, creating a rich tonal effect that’s both subtle and striking. Chrome fittings lend a crisp, polished finish, while the structured silhouette offers a bold, confident profile. Whether worn across the body or carried in hand, the adjustable leather strap adapts to your style and pace.
Inside, the fabric-lined interior is thoughtfully sized for everyday essentials, making it ideal for city days, quiet evenings or moments in between. The London Square is more than a bag – it’s a story carried with style, ready for whatever comes next.

Vulcanised Fibreboard
The main structure is made from Globe-Trotter’s proprietary Vulcanised Fibreboard, comprising 14 layers of recycled paper, cotton, and wood pulp from sustainable sources. Bonded with zinc and compressed with steam and pressure, this material is chosen for its exceptional lightness, strength, and distinctive character. It offers lasting protection and a refined finish 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 traceability and a commitment to animal welfare and environmentally responsible production.
Handles and Strap
Both the top handle and the crossbody strap are made from reinforced vegetable-tanned leather, carefully bonded and hand-finished for comfort and longevity.
Lining
The interior is lined with finely woven cotton or a cotton-blend fabric, selected for its softness, durability, and ability to complement the bag’s exterior palette.
Locks and Hardware
Hardware, including the clasp and strap fittings, is precision-engineered from carbon steel or solid brass and finished in gold, chrome, or other signature tones. Each component is selected for refined appearance and long-term performance.
Serial Plaque
Every bag includes a unique, individually numbered metal plaque inside. This plaque certifies authenticity and provides a permanent record of provenance.
