Perfect for the Jet-Setting Global Traveler
While Globe-Trotter's travel cases have long been favored by great adventurers worldwide, the "JET" collection is inspired by the modern luxury traveler. This collection is designed for today's adventurers who journey by private jet.
The collection utilizes supple, scratch-resistant British Windsor Grain leather, chosen for its essential travel qualities: durability, lightness, and longevity. The bag handles, like those on the travel cases, feature four layers of leather for enhanced durability, showcasing Globe-Trotter's meticulous craftsmanship throughout. The lineup is extensive, including Boston bags and flight bags ideal for carry-on, as well as tote bags for daily use, alongside passport covers and travel wallets. Iconic details, such as suitcase-shaped charms and belt-flap closures, express the brand's distinctive world.
To celebrate this launch, a Japan-exclusive "Concorde" model will also be released. This collaboration came about as Globe-Trotter's leather division once produced leather goods for Concorde aircraft. The collection features the brand's signature navy, accented with red and white used on the Concorde, applied to the piping and zippers. Inspired by the pilot bags of that era, two styles are available: a retro-style briefcase and a Boston bag. Furthermore, each piece comes with a special miniature Concorde model bearing a serial number. These are sure to be highly coveted items for fans.
