Globe-Trotter, a titan in the British luggage industry since 1897, and the iconic British car manufacturer Aston Martin, established in 1913, have unveiled their latest collaboration, a testament to the enduring legacy and craftsmanship of British manufacturing. This partnership marries the luxury of travel with the thrill of Formula One racing, showcasing a collection inspired by the powerful roar of the Aston Martin AMR24 Formula One car.
A Perfect Pairing: The Fusion of Heritage and High-Octane Racing

This collaboration between Globe-Trotter and Aston Martin F1 Team celebrates their commitment to excellence and heritage, creating a product line that captures the essence of speed and sound. The second collection between the two storied brands aims to encapsulate the exhilarating experience of a Formula 1 race, from the distant roar of the engines to the visceral vibration of the sound waves up close.

The Collection: Where Luxury Meets the Racetrack
The Globe-Trotter x Aston Martin F1 collection comprises five meticulously crafted pieces, including a four-wheel carry-on, a check-in suitcase, a mini attaché, a miniature case, and a luggage tag. Each item features a sleek black Vulcanised Fibreboard body accented with black hardware and highlighted by the vibrant lime of the Globe-Trotter and Aston Martin F1 logos. The collection’s hallmark is a striking green soundwave pattern screen printed onto each piece, mirroring the AMR24’s distinctive sound signature. This unique design element is complemented by leather trims in British Racing Green, a nod to the historical colour of Aston Martin racing cars.
