The display takes inspiration from the Queen’s Coronation in 1953, with Union Jacks lining the store’s facade as well as two 50 foot tall regal banners, heralding the Queen’s cypher and St. Edwards Crown. The theme continues as speakers have been installed on the outside of the building so they can play the National Anthem every day at midday until 15th June. During the Jubilee weekend of 2nd June ‘God Save The Queen’ will be broadcast hourly between midday and 6pm.

Globe-Trotter are proud to be part of this celebration, especially given the long standing history between the company and the Royal Family. The Queen choose Globe-Trotter luggage for her honeymoon, and still travels with her cases to this day. The Globe-Trotter crown on display at Harrods is a vision of traditional Navy, featuring iconic rivets and leather. Head down to the famous department store in Knightsbridge before 15th June to catch a glimpse of this beautiful display.

Harrods also produced a series of short films on the making of the crowns. Watch the preview video below when Globe-Trotter’s Creative Director answers the question ‘What would you do if you were Queen for a day?’

Each case has been intricately laser etched to produce a subtle patterned effect, and is completed with a unique leather shoulder strap. These key features set the Mohsin Ali suitcases apart from the Globe-Trotter core collection. Mohsin Ali hand picked a subtle range of colours of Elephant Grey, Ivory and Navy, creating timeless classics to covet for years to come.

Mohsin Ali’s aesthetic is clean and contemporary, and his label lives by three rules; form, fabric and function. This ethos is similar to that of Globe-Trotter, whose suitcases are handmade using Victorian machinery in a process that has remained unchanged in the company’s 115 year history.

Hector’s style is unique and draws inspiration from people, buildings, vehicles and animals. Having grown up reading the Tintin and Asterix comic books, he has been exploring his creativity since he was a child, developing his style with a twist of gentle humour and eye for detail. His illustrations begin life as simple line drawings, which are gradually built into grander scenes, and are usually coloured digitally. Hector’s talent landed him a place as a finalist in the Macmillan children’s book competition of 2011 for his book ‘Eggsodus’ concerning the life of beings on an overcrowded planet.

The series of seven illustrations captures the essence of Globe-Trotter travel and the spirit of adventure.

These illustrations are available in five screen sizes to download as desktop wallpapers from the Globe-Trotter Facebook page.

The stunning print is inspired from Erdem’s months of Research into the Ballets Russes dance movement form the early 1900’s, pouring over the V&A’s extensive library of magazines from the Thirties, photographing arresting textile pages, then manipulated and distorting the colourful images.

Produced in fine silk twill, the “Diaghilev Flower” print has bright pops of Russian red, green, and lemon yellow, stemming from photographs of original stage sets and backdrops from Russian ballets. This edition series arrives in Navy vulcanized fibreboard body, optional Lime or Navy leather trim continuing a classic twist on Globe-Trotter’s classic converted design.
