From luxury luggage to sustainable staples...

There's luggage, and then there's Globe-Trotter. Globe-Trotter's range occupies a superior echelon of the luggage world – one that is steeped in old-school craftsmanship and unparalleled luxury.

The revered heritage brand was established in 1897 in Saxony, Germany. In the 20th century, it was elected by the likes of Winston Churchill, Queen Elizabeth II and Sir Edmund Hillary ad their luggage label of choice.

One of the key features that sets Globe-Trotter apart is its use of vulcanised fibreboard, which it patented in 1902. Made from bonded layers of paper, cotton and wood pulp, it's renowned for its durable yet lightweight properties.

LIVE THE HIGH LIFE

Milanese footwear label Velasca prides itself on its Italian-made men's leather shoes, which are created from a place of authentic passion and expertise.

All of Velasca's shoes are made following the centuries-old tradition of Italian craftsmanship. Artisans in the shoemaking district of Montegranaro handcraft the shoes using the finest European leathers.

The brand is built upon a direct-to-consumer approach, which enables them to offer high quality leather shoes at a fraction of the price one would expect to pay, making the shoe shopping process as simple and cost-effective as possible.

NOTICE THE VELASCA DIFFERENCE

Renowned jeans label Edwin has been at the forefront of denim craftsmanship since it was established in 1947 by Japanese denim obsessive Mr Tsunemi.

Fusing its Japanese background and expertise with a contemporary European flair, Edwin produces jeans that span a multitude of finishes and fits – from washed to raw, loose-fitting to tapered.

The spirit of innovation and progressiveness upon which Edwin was founded remains at the heart of the brand today: it looks to counter-cultural references within music, art and skate culture to inform a unique creative vision.

EXPLORE THE EDWIN EDIT

French footwear label Zespà has firmly cemented itself as a major player in the world of men's premium sneakers, thanks to its commitment to craftsmanship and distinctive Mediterranean-inspired aesthetic.

Styles range from classic all-white, like the bestselling ZSP4, to retro-inspired designs like the '70s-style ZSPGT and more daring styles like the ZSP6N.

Crafted in family-owned workshops in Portugal, Zespà's footwear makes use of the highest quality full grain calf leathers from European tanneries. Durable, flexible and ultra-comfortable, these shoes are built to last.

Unrecorded was founded in Amsterdam in 2017 by Jolle van der Mast and Daniel Archutowsk, out of a mutual love for great design and a passion for the planet.

Unrecorded's philosophy revolves around a rejection of throwaway culture. Rather than offering seasonal garments, the brand adds permanent items to its range, all consciously made to stand the test of time.

From the perfect plain T-shirt to workwear-inspired overshirts: all of Unrecorded's staples adhere to a minimalist aesthetic, prioritising quality of construction over unnecessary aesthetic detailing.
