Globe-Trotter and British Airways Commemorate Boeing 747's Retirement With Limited Edition Carry-On
Each case comes with a fragment from an actual 747 aircraft.
Last year, British Airways retired its entire fleet of Boeing 747 commercial jets after the model served it for almost four decades, and now Globe-Trotter has joined the airline in commemorating The Queen of the Skies through a new limited-edition Speedbird carry-on.
Inspired by the original white and deep blue livery of the BA 747 flights, Globe-Trotter’s latest release comes dressed predominantly in a pristine white, with dark blue leather accents around the corners and the handle of the suitcase. It’s sized to comply with most airlines as carry-on luggage while providing a 34-liter carrying capacity, which the brand says is perfect for two to three-day getaways. Lining the interior is a 747-emblazoned fabric along with an actual piece of the plane on the underside of the lid, paired with a gold Speedbird insignia hand-painted on the exterior.
Limited to just 150 examples made, British Airways and Globe Trotter’s Speedbird carry-on is now available over on the luggage maker’s website for $3,135 USD.
Elsewhere in design, Zero Halliburton has released sleek aluminum-inspired AirPods Pro cases.
