Now your initial can adorn your luggage, not only your golf belt buckle.

Globe-Trotter offers you INITIALIZING SERVICE to personalize your British luxury luggage. Simply come to the Globe-Trotter flagship store in the Burlington Arcade and you, the customers are able to pick the typefaces, sizes and colors for either a new suitcase purchased or for an existing GLOBE-TROTTER CASE.

Think about this,..When you’re at the baggage claims at the airport, you’ll soon recognize your luggage by your personal initial on it. This will prevent the unlikely situation it should become lost or confused with similar items belonging to someone else.

That’s exactly a simple method people did since the Victorian era when luggage was intended almost exclusively for horse drawn coach and train travel, frequently sent on ahead by the owner and handled solely by servants and porters. Trunks and portmanteaux were adorned with the owners initials, hand painted often by skilled sign writers of the time

Founded in 1897 by Englishman David Nelki, GLOBE-TROTTER SUITCASE has remained virtually unchanged in terms of design and manufacture since the day. Their collections has been recognized and coveted by the Royalty and Great British Icons over the years. The world noted H.R.H Queen Elizabeth II, picked Globe-Trotter for her honeymoon luggage; Sir Winston Churchill chose Globe-Trotter for his Despatch Case during his time as Chancellor of the Exchequer; and Sir Edmund Hillary used Globe-Trotter suitcase during his conquest of Everest in 1951; not to mention the pilots and flight crews for the RAF and British Airways carried Globe-Trotter cabin cases.

With its long traditions, Globe-Trotter has been the name for the magnificent cases in this modern time. And now besides a greater range of colors and special linings, the customer now has the chance to customize their Globe-Trotter luggage or case with his or her own initials.

It’s only £75.00 per set of initials (up to 6 letters on one side of the suitcase) and you’ll get your initial fashioned by the modern technology and age-old craftsmanship.

Initially, the Bespoke Team at Broxbourne factory in Hertfordshire will make a special cut vinyl as a guide. On the next step, the initials are then hand painted directly onto the front position (lid) of the Globe-Trotter suitcase to create a traditional yet contemporary, durable effect to last a lifetime of use. I think it will last such long that your offspring will still admire the beauty of the customized luggage.
