Globe-Trotter x Aston Martin: A Collection Inspired by Formula 1
For more than a century, Globe-Trotter has been creating luggage in England, distinguished by its craftsmanship and unmistakably British aesthetic. For its latest limited edition, the brand takes this heritage into an entirely different world through a collaboration with the Aston Martin Aramco Formula One™ Team.
At the heart of this collaboration is a four-wheel carry-on suitcase limited to just 100 individually numbered pieces worldwide. The team’s colours, references to motorsport and Globe-Trotter’s signature materials come together in a piece designed for both motorsport enthusiasts and travellers.
The collection extends beyond the suitcase, with a matching passport cover and luggage tag continuing the dialogue between the world of travel and Formula One.
A carry-on suitcase in Aston Martin colours
For this collaboration, Globe-Trotter uses one of the materials that has defined its creations since 1897: Vulcanised Fibreboard. Made from 14 layers of recycled paper, cotton and wood pulp sourced from sustainably managed forests, it is designed to combine lightness with durability.
The suitcase’s black body is complemented by Aston Martin Green leather detailing, while touches of AM Lime appear along the stitching and edge finishes. The wheels also feature specially designed caps bearing the collaboration’s co-branded logo.
Inside, the team’s identity continues with a contemporary interpretation of the traditional British houndstooth pattern, rendered in its signature colours. A co-branded logo patch and a stainless-steel plaque displaying the individual number of each piece reinforce the limited-edition nature of the collection.
Historic craftsmanship adapted to contemporary travel
While the aesthetic draws directly on the Aston Martin Aramco Formula One Team, the craftsmanship remains true to Globe-Trotter’s traditional methods. The corners, trims and handles notably feature vegetable-tanned leather, designed to develop a distinctive patina over time and with every journey.
The straps are made from high-strength cotton and finished with handcrafted leather details. Inside, the lining combines comfort and durability while incorporating the graphic elements created specifically for this edition.
The suitcase nevertheless adopts a thoroughly contemporary format. Its four wheels and telescopic handle make travelling easier, while its dimensions of 42 x 56 x 21 cm meet the carry-on requirements of most major airlines.
Weighing 4.2 kg and offering a capacity of 34 litres, it provides enough space for a short trip without compromising the historic codes of the British brand.
A collection completed by travel accessories
Globe-Trotter and Aston Martin extend the collaboration with two accessories created in the same spirit.
Crafted from charcoal grey leather, the passport cover features graphic details inspired by the team’s visual identity. Measuring 10 x 13.5 cm, it maintains a deliberately slim profile, while the leather is designed to develop a natural patina over time.
A matching luggage tag, also handcrafted in England, features the same combination of leather and graphic details inspired by the Formula One car and its world. Its adjustable strap allows it to pair naturally with the suitcase from the collection.
Together, these two pieces extend the collaboration beyond the carry-on suitcase itself, creating a cohesive collection designed around travel.
When travel meets Formula One
This limited edition brings together two distinct expressions of British craftsmanship. Globe-Trotter retains the materials and methods that have shaped its identity, while the Aston Martin Aramco Formula One Team brings its colours and the visual codes of motorsport.
Limited to just 100 individually numbered pieces, the suitcase naturally stands at the heart of the collaboration. It brings the world of Aston Martin Formula One into travel while preserving the characteristics that have distinguished Globe-Trotter luggage for more than a century.
