Filed under: Luxury Travel & Hotels, Men's Style

Famed London luxury goods house Asprey has come out with a luxurious new line of luggage created in collaboration with Globe-Trotter, makers of fine travel cases since 1897. The five-piece Londoner Luggage collection, manufactured by hand in England, was designed by Bruce Hoeksema, Asprey's newly appointed creative director. The luggage comes in Asprey's signature royal purple with purple genuine crocodile handles and trim, and matte black with oxidized metallic corners and black crocodile handles and trim. The cases are lined in durable hemp linen with a leather hand stamped Asprey label and signature Asprey locks. The hand stitched crocodile corners were chosen to complement the classic regimental stripe of the removable webbed luggage straps that secure the suitcases.

Your luggage says a lot about you. Make sure it says the right things.

We love this bright yellow collection, the Globe-Trotter Centenary Collection from J. Crew. Each piece is meticulously crafted with a Vulcan Fibre shell, cotton lining, and leather trim. Globe-Trotter is a British company who has been making top-of-the-line luggage since 1897, and the results, as you can see, are quite fabulous.

This shade of yellow, "mimosa," has already been dubbed the "it" color of 2009. Plus, it's sunny and cheerful. Just imagine the glee you'd feel as this bright yellow case is spat out on the carousel. Instant mood-booster -- and easy to identify.

"Guaranteed to withstand the rigors of travel-or the weight of a one-ton elephant, whichever is worse."

The Centenary Collection also comes in black and "centenary ivory" for you sticks-in-the-mud.

Take a look at the collection here:
