Globe-Trotter

Founded in Saxony and long based in England; suitcases of vulcanised fibre, a material of compressed paper.

David Nelken founded the company in Saxony and later moved it to England. The cases are made of vulcanised fibre, layers of paper pressed into a light, strong material.

Princess Elizabeth had a Globe-Trotter case on her honeymoon in 1947. The cases are still made by hand in England.

The light, hard suitcase with leather corners and straps.
