# Vintage-Inspired Travel Bags The Globe-Trotter Summer 2013 Collection Refers to the 19th Century By Meghan Young | Published 2013-04-17 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/globetrotter-summer-2013 References: [hypebeast](http://hypebeast.com/2013/4/globe-trotter-2013-summer-propellor-collection) & [globetrotter1897](http://www.globetrotter1897.com) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holiday-handcarry) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/antler-discovery-collection) and [whiskey-colored bridle leather](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bottega-veneta-6). 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. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.1/10 - Popularity: 91% | Activity: 84% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Fashion for Men](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashionformen) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Vintage-inspired Travel Gear:** Bringing back old design elements and materials to make travel gear with a classic aesthetic. - **Adventure-inspired Fashion:** Creating fashion accessories that embody the explorer's spirit and cater to the adventurous lifestyle. - **Minimalistic Travel Bags:** Designing simple yet elegant bags that resonate with the understated aesthetics of today's traveler. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** Using materials and design elements similar to Globe-Trotter's to create high-end fashion accessories for avid explorers. - **Travel:** Creating durable adventure gear for extreme travelers using materials such as water-repellant canvas twill and bridle leather. - **E-commerce:** Offering a collection of stylish travel accessories to people with different interests and needs through an online store that caters to the modern-day traveler. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Premium British-Themed Suitcases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amf1-luggage.md) - [Fictional Spy-Inspired Suitvases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/james-bond-carryon-trolley-case.md) - [Demure Secret Agent Suitcases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/globetrotter-x-007-graphite-grey-carryon.md) - [Collaboration Sonic Artwork Suitcases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/globetrotter-x-aston-martin.md) - [Travel-Inspired Handbag Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/patricia-nash-designs-bags.md) - [Textured 60s-Inspired Suitcases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rimowa-hammerschlag-collection.md) - [Colorful Luggage Collabs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luggage-collab.md) - [Heritage-Inspired Tweed Luggage Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hartmann-tweed.md) - [Luxe Retro-Inspired Luggage Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carl-friedrik-trunk.md)
