GLOBE-TROTTER
J. Crew
It’s a classic steamer trunk style
for the new age. J. Crew makes its name by bringing
modern sensibilities to old favorites, and the newly
available, high-end Globe-Trotter Centenary luggage
raises the bar. The 21" Trolley Case, like the
whole line, is hand-crafted by the British company that
has provided bags for royalty since 1897. The surprisingly
lightweight case is made of wear-resistant “Vulcan
Fibre” material that is exceptionally strong while
maintaining an elegant profile in black with natural
leather straps and trim set off by antique brass hardware.
The cotton lining with striped grosgrain straps (very
J. Crew) feels like bespoke luggage. $1,800. www.jcrew.com
