Re: The Trad Luggage.
Remembering Globe Trotter (mine are all in the attic at home now) the Navy was always The One to get, not the Black.
England being the land of strange signs & symbols at school the best trunks were the Navy but really scuffed & beaten up to hell. So broken down was mine that I had to have a new one from Peter Jones in my 4th year. The Shame of turning up with a brand new trunk! I took a cricket stump to mine & kicked it around a bit before I went back.
Goodness Mummy was cross!

Re: The Trad Luggage.
Used to have better luggage that required strength to carry it through the terminal. I then deposited it as a sacrifice to the baggage handlers, who seemed to have a problem with belting leather. Now it's wheeled and cheap (Travelpro). We don't even have a matched set, but we do usually dress for a flight. The Globetrotter sure is classic but needs a skateboard under it.

Re: The Trad Luggage.
You can get wheeled Globe-Trotters. For check in I use old Samsonites. The prospect of them getting lost haunts me enough that I don't need a darling and dear luggage to compound my fears. For carry on I have a navy 18" Globe-Trotter. I am thinking of adding one of the smaller attaches in either orange or the light blue in the Cruise collection.
