The Safari Large Suitcase is travel at its most intentional. Inspired by the original suitcase silhouette first crafted over a century ago, this piece invites you to slow down, pack with purpose, and experience the kind of journey where the luggage becomes part of the story. Handcrafted in England, it captures the romance of exploration with quiet confidence.
The body is formed from Globe-Trotter’s signature vulcanised fibreboard in a deep brown finish. Strong, lightweight, and full of character, it’s paired with natural leather corners and a top handle that begin in a soft blush and darken with use. Each mark, scratch, and scuff adds to its story. Gold-tone fittings complete the case with a subtle glow that softens over time, echoing the richness of the patina.
With a 74-litre capacity, the soft fabric-lined interior provides ample space for extended travel. The traditional two-wheel design and absence of a trolley system preserve its clean silhouette, while offering smooth movement when needed. It’s a suitcase that feels as good in a vintage train carriage as it does in the trunk of a classic car.
Part of the Safari collection, this is more than luggage. It is a travelling heirloom — one that matures with you and remembers every journey you take together.

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.
