ETRO x Globe-Trotter’s "Arnica" Luggage Collection Upgrades the Art of Transit

Summary

• The collaboration merges Etro’s iconic paisley jacquard with Globe-Trotter’s signature vulcanized fiberboard construction
• The release features classic carry-on and check-in sizes alongside a modern crossbody micro case
• A special edition infused with mythic motifs by British illustrator Tabby Booth rounds out the exclusive lineup

ETRO and Globe-Trotter are elevating modern transit with the new “Arnica” Luggage Collection.

At the core of the collection is Globe-Trotter’s signature vulcanized fiberboard shell, a material specifically engineered for high shock resistance and long-term durability. Moving away from standard polycarbonate or aluminum, this robust chassis is completely wrapped in Etro’s “Arnica” fabric. The heavy-duty paisley jacquard acts as the primary external layer, designed to weather the physical impacts of travel while maintaining its structural integrity over time.

The exterior hardware and trim are offered in two distinct, spec-driven executions. The “Arnica Gold” configuration utilizes rich brown leather detailing anchored by solid brass components, while the “Arnica Black” edition shifts to a stealthier profile with black leather and matching black metal parts. Opening the cases reveals a high-contrast, multi-color striped lining that entirely coats the interior compartment.

Form factors cover multiple operational needs, divided into M (35.3x60x20cm) and L (52x76x26cm) suitcase dimensions, alongside a compact Crossbody Micro Body Case measuring 18.5x12x7.5cm and featuring a dedicated shoulder strap. Rounding out the technical lineup is a special edition M-size case featuring illustrations by Tabby Booth, which applies intricate motifs of flora and mythic creatures directly onto the exterior paneling.

The ETRO x Globe-Trotter “Arnica” Luggage Collection drops mid-May via the ETRO Ginza flagship and select limited stores, with pre-orders currently live on ETRO’s official webstore.
