The Formula 1 team, Aston Martin has inked a new long-term collaboration with the British luxury luggage, suitcase and accessory brand, Globe-Trotter. Following this new deal, the brand has been named the team’s global luxury luggage partner.
The luxury baggage collections offered by Globe-Trotter are well known. Its items are handcrafted in England utilising the best materials, much like Aston Martin’s Formula 1 car. Their collection of luggage combines class, elegance, and style with a classic look.
The brands’ cases, which were first produced in 1897, represent the height of travel. The brand uses some of the same production techniques and equipment from the Victorian era and pays the same attention to detail. Vulcanized Fibreboard is arguably the most timeless and durable invention from the company. For 125 years and more, an inconceivable feat of strength that has yet to be properly duplicated has kept the brand’s cases tremendously sturdy yet unbelievably light.
Jefferson Slack, Managing Director, AMF1 Commercial and Marketing, commented, “We are very proud to team up with Globe-Trotter, a luxury brand that shares many parallels with AMF1. Travelling around the world is part and parcel of what we do. We are delighted to have partnered with a high-end luxury luggage company who make beautiful, yet durable pieces of luggage that are designed to come on the road with you, wherever you go. Together we are exploring ways to collaborate with ideas inspired by Formula One engineering.”
Vicente Castellano, Executive Chairman of Globe-Trotter, said, “We are hugely excited to start a long-term relationship with AMF1. We believe both companies share the values that have made Globe-Trotter an enduring brand for 125 years, particularly our common focus on craftsmanship and iconic design. Crucially, it is this common ground that gives us both great confidence that we can create special products and experiences for our fans in the coming seasons.”
