Women have always known the importance of accessorizing, particularly when it comes to luggage. But, for whatever reason, guys have been slow to get a clue. There’s nothing less sexy than tromping through the airport in all your business-suit, jet-setting glory with a ratty, nylon gym bag slung over your shoulder. On the other hand, as neat and efficient as the compact rollers are, they can leave you looking a bit like an in-flight airline employee. Often the best way to find a classier solution to any style problem is to go back in time. That’s what J. Crew did when they teamed up with famed British luggage company Globe-Trotter. Since 1897, Globe-trotter pieces have traveled with patrons as royal as the Queen herself to sites as high as Mount Everest. For the collaboration, Globe-Trotter created a six-piece version of their Centenary Collection, in a black-and-tan color combination exclusive to J.Crew– full-leather, cotton-lined, and handmade in England. It’s the type of luggage one could imagine strapped to the back of an elephant carrying Rudyard Kipling through the Indian jungle. It’s business travel not a road trip. Pack like you mean it.
