A Beautiful British Collaboration

The collaboration between Globe-Trotter and Muirhead showcases the finest British craftsmanship and sustainable luxury. The Crafted Collection combines Globe-Trotter’s renowned expertise in luggage with Muirhead’s premium, sustainable leather. This beautiful collection is the result of a seamless partnership between two companies that share a commitment to quality, tradition, and innovation.

Muirhead’s 100% locally sourced and manufactured leather is central to the Crafted Collection. The leather is traceable back to the farms in the UK and Ireland, ensuring full transparency and sustainability throughout the supply chain. This commitment to responsible sourcing and environmentally conscious manufacturing practices is at the heart of everything we do.

The Inspired Leather Colour Selection

The three colours chosen for the Crafted Collection—Black, Leaf Green, and Sherry Red—are deeply inspired by the natural beauty surrounding Muirhead’s Scottish factory. Each colour was selected to reflect the luxurious, nature-infused vision of the collection:

• Black: A timeless and elegant colour that speaks to sophistication and refinement, perfect for the modern traveller.
• Leaf Green: A serene and fresh green tone connecting the product's luxury to nature's calming beauty.
• Sherry Red: A rich, earthy hue with opulent undertones, embodying understated elegance and a grounded yet luxurious feel.
  
  

These thoughtful colour choices showcase the dedication of both Globe-Trotter and Muirhead to craftsmanship and nature-inspired luxury.

Ensuring Durability and Longevity

The durability and lasting beauty of Globe-Trotter suitcases are celebrated worldwide. The leathers used in the Crafted Collection are from Muirhead’s Natural Performance range, 100% sourced and manufactured in Great Britain. Each piece of leather undergoes rigorous testing to ensure its resilience, withstanding the rigours of travel while maintaining its flawless appearance. The high-quality leathers resist wear and tear and fading and remain supple, ensuring that the suitcases crafted from them are true investments—travel companions designed to last for generations.

Commitment to Sustainability

Sustainability is woven into the fabric of both Globe-Trotter and Muirhead. At Muirhead, our sustainability practices reflect our deep commitment to the environment, which has been at the core of our operations for over 180 years. We source our raw materials from grass-fed cattle raised on farms in the UK and Ireland, with a focus on responsible animal husbandry and soil regeneration. These farms are entirely deforestation-free, ensuring the sustainability of our leather from the very beginning.

Our local sourcing strategy supports our goal of achieving net-zero emissions and provides complete traceability throughout the supply chain. Every hide is fully traceable, from the farm to the finished product, ensuring transparency for customers who care deeply about the environmental impact of their purchases. Our circular manufacturing process integrates energy recovery, water recycling, and renewable electricity, and we continuously invest in cutting-edge technologies, such as advanced membrane water treatment systems, to minimise our environmental footprint.

A Seamless Collaboration with Globe-Trotter

The collaboration with Globe-Trotter has truly reflected shared values and passion for excellence. From the very start, Globe-Trotter’s team has been professional, friendly, and supportive. Their openness to new ideas and flexibility made it possible to create something extraordinary. The shared commitment to exceptional craftsmanship, quality, and sustainability made the collaboration an enjoyable and productive experience.

Globe-Trotter has crafted a collection that embodies the very best of both brands—timeless luxury, unmatched quality, and a deep respect for tradition and the environment.

"At Globe-Trotter we always look to partner with those that are best-in-class in their field. When we were planning this project, Muirhead leather immediately sprang to mind.
