The finest gentlemen’s suitcases
Words: Charlie Thomas
Us gentlemen enjoy spending time on our appearance. Our trousers are always impeccable pressed, our brogues finely polished and our shirts perfectly ironed. This attention to detail should extend far beyond just our outfits though, and this is especially true when travelling the globe. Our luggage should reflect our timeless style, so here are the finest gentlemen’s suitcases on the market, for some inspiration.
TUMI

It’s not until you get up close and personal with a Tumi suitcase that you really appreciate the brand’s brilliance. Made with the finest, most durable fabrics, this expandable case is finished in grey and comes with a three-stage telescopic handle for ease of use.

RIMOWA

Easily recognisable for their signature aluminium-magnesium finish, Rimowa suitcases are among the very best. This Classic Flight case is lightweight too, and comes complete with a subtle patterned lining.

GLOBE-TROTTER

You can’t go wrong with a Globe-Trotter suitcase. This extra large example will keep you going for weeks but, thanks to its vulcanised fibreboard and leather finish, you can keep going with it for years.

MULBERRY

Perfect for those quick trips away, this highly-portable Mulberry trolley can be used as carry-on luggage, meaning super-speedy check-in times at the airport. It’s finished in a sumptuous scotch-grain leather, which is both immeasurably stylish as well as weather-proof.
