J. Crew's Sexy Globe-Trotter Centenary Collection

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.

Globe-Trotter Celebrates 110th Anniversary with Bulletproof Bag

Filed under: Luxury Travel & Hotels

Globe-Trotter, the British luggage designer which since 1897 has furnished luxury carryalls for the likes of Queen Elizabeth II and Winston Churchill, will soon add another formidable piece to its collection: a bulletproof case designed by Ross Lovegrove. Weighing in at under three pounds, it's the lightest rigid suitcase of its kind. Even before this news, Globe-Trotter was getting around: the luggage maker recently collaborated with J.Crew to craft limited edition pieces for its new luggage collection, and it showed up last year in the Conran Shop with a special rolling fashion statement.

The Lovegrove piece will make its debut during New York Fashion Week in September, posing from the windows at Moss. Until then, you can still get the perennial classic, the Centenary trolley suitcase in orange (designed by hand from Vulcan Fibre and lined in silk) at Moss for $1,580. The Lovegrove designed Air Cabin, by comparison, will retail for $3,500.

Globe-Trotter Luggage

If you love luxury, but just want to stand out a bit from all the Vuitton out there, why not get some hand made luggage from Globe-Trotter. These British classics have been around since 1897 and have been the choice of royalty, political players, and even Sir Edmund Hilary. I call them the un-Vuitton, as you can get practically any color you want and still get the same great construction and style. Their basic design hasn't changed over the past century, but these cases stay up-to-date with new sizes and colors every season. I love the Cruise and Safari collection, they'll look great on the yacht or in any dull airport terminal.
