Japanese designer clothing brand EVISU has collaborated with British luggage company Globe-Trotter on a new suitcase collection.

The crossover EVISU x Globe-Trotter suitcase, produced to a limited run of 100 globally, is made with the British brand’s patented vulcanised fibreboard, which is exceptionally tough and resilient.

The EVISU x GLOBE-TROTTER 20-incih Carry-On Case combines one of the classic styles of Globe-Trotter, and features printed canvas with street-inspired graffiti elements. Details such as EVISU’s logo, the iconic seagull, and the Ebisu motif add a playful spin to the design.

The case is secured with leather fastening straps to underline the vintage spirit of the luxury luggage brand. Every detail is well thought out, including the numbered leather plaque and customised Globe-Trotter key.

Globe-Trotter was founded in 1897 by David Nelken in Germany. The century-old luggage manufacturer is the epitome of artisanal savoir-faire, with all luggage and travel accessories handcrafted in Hertfordshire, England using traditional skills and machinery.

In 1912, an experiment was conducted at the Zoological Gardens in Hamburg to prove the strength of the material, in which a one-tonne elephant rested its entire weight on a Globe-Trotter suitcase without breaking it, driving home the lightweight durability of the luggage brand. Former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill was a fan of Globe-Trotter, as are contemporary celebrities such as David Beckham, Kate Moss, and Emma Watson.
