Luxury British luggage brand Globe-Trotter has globe-trotted to Melrose Place to open its first U.S. flagship store, a 1,500 square-feet space of combined contemporary and traditional design.
Beloved by Queen Elizabeth II, David Beckham, and Kate Moss (to name a few) and offering luggage handmade in England since 1897, Globe-Trotter is offering its travel collections and limited edition styles there, including an exclusive capsule collection called Melrose Place available in-store only.
The corners, handles, straps, and strap guides of items in the Melrose Place capsule are splashed with vibrant leather trim in colors reminiscent of L.A. sunsets. A palm tree motif and the brand's iconic north star logo and founding date adorn the inside and lining of the lid and base. Choose from Globe-Trotter's handbag-sized London Square, Attaché briefcase, carry-on case, and the large check-in size. Prices range from $1,345-$2,995.
Also available to shop are the brand's Centenary, Original, and Deluxe collections; its James Bond collections; as well as luggage styles that Globe-Trotter created in collaboration with major brands including Disney, Rowing Blazers, and Tyler The Creator's Golf Le Fleur.
After picking out your new travel essentials, head to the store's living room area where customization services are offered, allowing you to practice creative control over virtually every component of your suitcase.
Globe-Trotter's West Coast debut follows the brand's more than 400% growth over the past years, according to Vicente Castellano, Globe-Trotter's executive chairman. The Melrose Place flagship marks its third retail location worldwide, with the others in London and Tokyo.
