Product Details

The world's first vulcanised fibreboard suitcase made with an aluminium frame.

The Metropolis Collection marks the beginning of a new chapter, an evolution in design that retains the signature elegance of Globe-Trotter while embracing a bold, modern aesthetic. This collection is not just an update; it is a reimagination of what luxury travel can be.

At its core, the Metropolis Carry-On represents a seamless fusion of heritage and innovation. Globe-Trotter’s unmistakable vulcanised fibreboard is now framed by a precision-engineered aluminium structure, creating a suitcase that is lighter, stronger, and more refined than ever before. Every detail has been meticulously considered, from the sculpted lines and domed rivets to the beautifully handcrafted leather accents that honour the brand’s legacy.

The serene Fog Blue exterior reflects the quiet sophistication of a city at dawn, a colourway designed for the contemporary traveller who moves through the world with confidence and ease. Inside, the revolutionary zip-in lining ensures everything remains perfectly in place, offering an effortless packing experience with a pristine reveal every time.

Newly designed hubcap wheels, inspired by automotive engineering, allow for smooth, precise movement, while TSA-approved locks provide the highest level of security without compromising on style.

The Metropolis Carry-On is more than just a suitcase – it is the next generation of Globe-Trotter, a symbol of progress for those who embrace the future while appreciating the past. Designed for frequent travellers, urban explorers, and innovators, it is cabin-ready and always by your side, ensuring that your journey is as seamless as it is sophisticated.

External Features

Crafted with a robust aluminium frame paired with Globe-Trotter’s iconic vulcanised fibreboard, achieving an exceptional blend of strength and lightness. Elevated by premium English leather accents on the corners and straps, it is further refined by domed rivets and redesigned hubcap wheels, ensuring a sleek aesthetic and smooth mobility.

Airplane Suitability

Meets requirements for most major airlines as Carry-On luggage. A small number of airlines may ask economy class passengers to check in this suitcase.

Materials

Vulcanised Fibreboard

Lighter than aluminium and tougher than leather, Vulcanised Fibreboard is our unique proprietary material and is made from 14 layers of recycled paper bonded with zinc.

Corners

The iconic leather corners of our cases take five days to craft and complete. And are moulded using time-honoured machinery for optimum strength and form.

Handles

It’s quite fitting that our durable handles are made entirely by hand. With the core materials bonded together for 48 hours before construction even begins.

Serial plaque

Each case is truly one of a kind, individualised with its own unique serial number. Find it on a metal plaque inside your case, and use it to track your movements around the globe.

Lining

The inside of your case is an ode to your individual character. Durable and water resistant, the luxurious inner lining is meticulously crafted and can stay suited to the bag or customised to feel individual to you.

Locks

Each case comes with carbon steel locks so you can travel with peace of mind. Turn to a North-South position to unlock and East-West to lock.
