Founded in 1897, Globe-Trotter's world-renowned suitcases are known for their distinguished design and construction, with products that are handcrafted in the UK by skilled artisans, using original manufacturing methods and machinery.
We acquired a majority stake in the business in March 2020, with the intention to strengthen Globe-Trotter’s positioning in the luxury travel luggage market, with continued online and offline expansion, product innovation leadership and operational excellence.
Toshiyasu Takubo
CEO — Globe-Trotter
The luxury travel goods market has achieved strong historical growth of 5% p.a., driven by global macro and luxury travel trends.
Whilst the Covid pandemic proved to be challenging for most businesses, both the luxury and travel goods markets have proved to be resilient and have rebounded following previous major global crises and recessions.
With a loyal and influential customer base, including celebrities, royals and socialites who are willing to spend on luxury consumption, Globe-Trotter is well placed to become a global player.
Our origination network helps us source investments others cannot. Often, we are the first institutional investor in our portfolio companies.
