- Globe-Trotter Chivas “Made for Gentleman” Collection ($43-$18,000)
Luxury luggage brand Globe-Trotter has teamed up with Chivas Regal Whisky to create the Chivas 12 “Made for Gentlemen” limited-edition luggage collection. Designed with the sophisticated stylish traveler in mind, the collection consists of a limited-edition tin gift casing for a bottle of Chivas 12, a limited-run 20 inch carry-on trolley case, and a gorgeous made-on-request steamer trunk whose proceeds will be donated to the Prince’s Trust charity.
The tin gift case is designed with bespoke luggage stickers hand-drawn by British illustrator Andrew Davidson to celebrate the decades-old travel tradition of applying stickers onto luggage in an effort to proudly showcase the cities one’s been to.
Meanwhile, the 20-inch carry-on trolley case is built with a vulcanized fiberboard case that has wooden handles, brushed-brass hardware, and an internal leather plaque that marks the exclusive collaboration. The inside also features a customized lining that elegantly intertwines with a never-seen-before Globe-Trotter archive design and a beautiful Chivas icon signifier.
And finally, the highlight of the collection—the Chivas 12 Made for Gentlemen Steamer Trunk—is a beautiful reinterpretation of a timeless classic that serves as the ultimate travel collectible for the sophisticated modern-day gentleman.
Featuring the collection’s bespoke burgundy fiberboard, American white oak from white oak casks (a nod to the oak casks used to give Chivas 12 its rich complexity), and a hand-engraved copper plaque made from retired scotch whisky stills, the steamer trunk exudes timeless sophistication through and through. It even has specially designed compartments to store and showcase all the treasures the modern gentleman traveler has accumulated over his travels, including specially created compartments for shoes, a drawer that holds up to nine watches, oak leather-covered hangers, and perhaps the best feature of all—a beautifully crafted minibar set against a fitted mirrored back that’s perfect for serving a glass of Chivas.
As Richard Black, Global Brand Director of Chivas Regal explains, “We are delighted to be partnering with Globe-Trotter for the fourth stage of our Made for Gentlemen journey. There are many synergies in our values and approach to craft. Modern gentlemen are constantly on the lookout for authentic, stylish experiences and products wherever they are in the world, and we believe the three limited editions we co-created with Globe-Trotter could be a passport to just these types of experiences.”
Globe-Trotter Global Marketing Director James Fisher adds: “It was a compelling and enjoyable exchange of ideas with Chivas from the first creative session. We even discovered Chivas Master Blender Colin Scott has traveled the world with Globe-Trotter luggage for much of his forty-year career. Pieces of Globe-Trotter luggage are traveling companions for life and frequently become heirlooms—wear and tear reflects the personal journeys of their owners. We really enjoyed designing the three limited editions that elegantly showcase our crafts in one-off, contemporary ways.”
