Italian fashion house Etro unveils its new collaboration with Globe-Trotter, the historic British company known for premium luxury luggage. Together, the two brands enter into a creative dialogue that celebrates travel as an authentic, immersive and limitless experience. This is a core value that has guided Etro’s nomadic spirit and multicultural explorations from the beginning.
The luggage made with Globe-Trotter fits seamlessly into the brand’s lifestyle universe. It symbolizes the joy of discovery and exploration, approached with style and curiosity. The collection is a perfect synthesis of Globe-Trotter’s savoir-faire and Etro’s textile heritage. It is inspired by the sensibility of the modern aesthete who collects experiences, sees travel as a lifestyle and sees his/her belongings as an extension of one’s personality and the way of moving in the world. Each trolley is designed not just as an accessory, but as an archive of memories. It is designed to acquire a unique patina with each destination reached, making travel a statement of cultivated, cosmopolitan elegance.
The Arnica fabric is the hallmark of Etro’s masterful textile craftsmanship and color art. The jacquard surface, characterized by the iconic paisley pattern, covers the vulcanized fiberboard suitcase structure, increasing its tactile and visual richness. The collection is a celebration of artisanal luxury and attention to detail: the exterior is finished with leather elements and metal components that are either tonal or contrasting, while the interiors are lined with multicolored stripes that reflect the brand’s eclectic imagery. The set also includes a micro case with a shoulder strap, which serves as a perfectly coordinated accessory.
An exclusive patch reading “Since 1968” pays homage to Etro’s founding year and the significance of Pegasus. As an emblem of freedom, it is the ideal companion for those who move through the world collecting encounters, impressions and fragments of timeless beauty.
Available in carry-on and checked sizes, some models evoke the appeal of vintage luggage with leather straps that combine old-world charm with modern functionality. A special edition was designed in collaboration with Tabby Booth, the British curator, illustrator and painter known for her unique interpretations of folk art. Their reinterpretation of the paisley pattern is evident in a dreamy print of mythological creatures, folkloric motifs and natural flora that transforms any suitcase into an enchanted visual world.
The collection is offered in two designs: the ‘Arnica Gold’ model combines Etros canvas with brown leather details and brass hardware, while the ‘Arnica Black’ model combines black leather with black hardware for greater contrast. Custom-made protective covers are available for each model.
From May 4th, the collection will be available in Etro flagship boutiques and on the website, followed by distribution through selected global retailers.
