The Globe-Trotter Summer 2013 collection draws inspiration from the late 19th century and early 20th century when travel was more about adventure, exploration and discovery that it is today. The simple vintage-like bags have a certain amount of class to them as well, which speaks to an overall cultured personality.
Titled 'Propellor,' the Globe-Trotter Summer 2013 collection is comprised of pieces made out of water-repellant Limonta canvas twill and whiskey-colored bridle leather. Designer Charlotte McDonnell continued her tribute to the past by way of the Globe-Trotter original 1912 catalogue.
Available later this summer, the Globe-Trotter Summer 2013 collection gives consumers a choice of four different bags that include an overnight, duffle, weekend and utility roll. Smart and sophisticated, they will inspire people to go on their own adventure.
