J. Crew's Sexy Globe-Trotter Centenary Collection

J Crew 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.

J. Crew Jewelry Collection

Filed under: Jewelry

Outfitter J. Crew now offers a jewelry line, available at its new J. Crew Collection store on Madison Avenue in New York City or online. The pieces are simple and reasonably priced, but better suited for weekend wear than your best black-tie outfit. There is a Fashion category as well as a Fine category. Fashion includes necklaces, bracelets, rings, earrings, and pins in prices from $25 - $228. Fine includes mostly pearl items -- earrings, bracelets, and necklaces -- in prices from $65 - $495.

Globe-Trotter Celebrates 110th Anniversary with Bulletproof Bag

Filed under: Journeys


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.

J. Crew Beaded Bathing Suit

Filed under: Apparel

From the J.Crew Collection, the preppy retailer's more expensive line of clothing, here's a beautiful and apparently swimmable suit. Shells and beads decorate the top of the suit, while there's boning along the sides. And sure, brown isn't always the most flattering color for a pale beach newbie,  but this suit probably looks really pretty once you have a tan. Price: $100.
