To me, one of the ultimate luxuries in the designer handbag world is travel pieces. This category isn’t discussed as much among bag lovers, but if you love designer bags, it is the next step up when it comes to your collection. I’ve dreamed of owning a few designer luggage pieces—namely a trolley—and now I know what the trolley of my dreams is.
The return of the classic Gucci GG logo has taken fashion lovers (myself included) by storm. And to take your suitcase game to the next level, look no further than the Gucci Globe-Trotter GG line. There are three sizes of suitcases: a carry on, and a medium and large suitcase. Each contains every classic Gucci aspect you’ve come to know and love. This collection is a part of a special collaboration with Globe-Trotter, a luxury travel lifestyle brand established in 1897. The collaboration of the two brands melds skilled craftsmanship with distinctive classic appeal, with magnificent results.
Each bag from this special collection is crafted in Hertfordshire, England, by highly skilled artisans using original manufacturing techniques and machinery dating back to the Victorian era. This process makes each bag extremely well-made, along with having the well-known Globe-Trotter identifying touches. But everything about each piece is oh-so-Gucci. The house’s distinctive codes and motifs stand out on each design, from the beige and ebony GG Supreme canvas to brown leather trim.
The interior of the bag is lined in red cotton linen, with a double belt and lock closure. The handle has a 1″ drop, and there’s a telescopic retractable top handle as well. This bag is the ultimate luxury item, and in my daydreams, I have planned countless trips I’d go on with these pieces of luggage. There are three sizes, Carry-On ($2,980), Medium ($3,890), and Large ($4,300) all available at Gucci.com now.
The Globe-Trotter Beauty Case
Another piece from this collection that I know you will love is the Gucci Globe-Trotter GG Beauty Case. Though it’s called a beauty case and is part of this travel collection from the Fall-Winter 2018 Runway, this bag easily stands alone as a day-to-day bag. Of course it will hold your beauty items as well, but even with it’s structured shape, it is far more roomy than I’d imagined.
You can easily fit the items we photographed inside and make this bag your own, from a beauty-focused carrier to your everyday bag. This Beauty Case features a signature Gucci Bamboo Handle top, which makes it an extremely classic Gucci look, paired with the GG Supreme Canvas Print and brown leather trim. The palladium-toned hardware pairs perfectly with the aforementioned details and looks really clean on the lock closure. The interior also features red cotton linen lining, and the bamboo handle has a 1.5″ drop, while the detachable shoulder strap has a 23″ drop. Pre-order is available now for $1,980 via Gucci.com.
When it comes to clothing, shoes, accessories and beauty, Gucci offers it all to pair with its Gucci Globe-Trotter Collection. From the oversized sneaker trend with a removable crystal twist to the limited edition fragrance with a sweet red berry scent to the coolest Cardigan with a NY Yankees patch, you can fill your Gucci travel gear with items that you fancy. Right now is the best time to be Gucci gal or guy and this collection only further proves it.

I love everything!! I just wish I could afford it-lol! 🙂
Ditto.
The designs are beautiful. I hope the functionality matches in terms of being lightweight and smooth wheels.
I’d love to own the rolling piece but just can’t justify spending that much as I always check luggage in, and know it will have black dirt lines on It from being tossed about by the luggage handlers. I fly a lot and after just one round trip excursion my newest bag came back to me looking as if I owned it for 5 years……
A few questions: what is the weight of the largest piece? Is it waterproof? How long is their guarantee? These aren’t handbags that you always carry with you, the collection includes pieces that need to stand up to inclement weather and rough handling. Louis Vuitton has more than proven itself in this category — a good friend has some LV luggage and he’s seen it sit out in the pouring rain before being loaded into the plane. Everything in the luggage remained perfectly dry.
The largest suitcase weighs in at 13lbs. I am unsure about being water-proof, but I would say with confidence that it is very resilient. From my own experience with the carry-on we photographed, the tolerances were really tight, closing the case gave me the confidence to believe that the contents would remain dry even in the worst of weather. I’d check with Globe-Trotter though, as they are the ones who crafted these by hand.
Seriously these photos are stunning! I want that beauty case now Megs!
Me, too!
I much prefer the Fendi x Rimowa collection – wish I could afford it though.
I can’t afford them either way, but I always feel safer with cheap luggage. For the last 4 years, I’ve been using the same ratty €24.99 suitcase bought at a supermarket and *knocks on wood* it’s never been lost or broken into so far. I wonder if there are statistics about designer vs. cheap luggage theft.
I’d wager to bet it swings pretty far on the designer side
I do love a Gucci bamboo.
I need that beauty case! I want the trolley but I see myself using the beauty case as a bag, would it work as a bag ok you think?
Oh ya, it’s officially on my own personal wishlist now too! It obviously is structured but easily works as an everyday bag (I show what fits in it above!).
When I saw the Large one, Airport Baggage Kicker is the first thing that came to my mind.
I love Gucci and have tons of Gucci clothes but haven’t pulled the trigger on a bag yet. That suitcase is CALLING me. I adore it. I wish they’d had this last year because I’ve done ton of traveling, but I might just have to go ahead and do it and hope the trips will follow
Honestly, I’m a big fan of designer luggage being a decor piece until you use it as well!
Dang, I’d love a full set of the beige/ebony luggage, but I know I’d be looking out the window of the plane watching my pretty Gucci luggage getting manhandled as it’s loaded on the plane. That would really suck.
