Little attention is often paid to the interior fabric of a suitcase, but these vintage luggage pieces from Globe-Trotter and Missoni aim to change that. The limited-edition collection features a mini utility case, a trolley case and a suitcase all outfitted with Globe-Trotter’s signature vulcanized exterior and lacquered corners. The interior contrasts the ivory-finished exterior with Missoni's famous brick red and herringbone abstract graphic.
This unique collaboration from Italian fashion house Missoni marks the brand's second co-branded effort apart from its on-going partnership with Converse. This particular vintage luggage collection caters to higher-end consumers with a relatively high price point. This exclusive collection however will prove to be popular among consumers who use accessories like luggage to further assert their personal style.
