It was in the tenth grade when I read 'Three Men In A Boat', and of course, I loathed the book (sorry, not sorry), but it made me fixate on the classy vintage suitcases that I imagined were used in the book. The search for vintage suitcases that deliver to India led me to Globe-Trotter. Since 1897, the brand has been capturing the magic of the golden age of travel with its range of luggage made from vulcanised fibreboard. Be it late Queen Elizabeth II and Winston Churchill, or famed explorers like Edmund Hillary: they have all been spotted with a Globe-Trotter in hand. 

The brand has been going strong for 125 years, and is known for being super lightweight despite its sturdy make. If vintage suitcases have fascinated you as elements of aesthetics and design, or you are still dicey about buying one, this list of budget-friendly Globe-Trotter lookalikes will convince you! You can carry these on road trips, use them as carry-on luggage, dump in your books on your next haul, or even use them as an aesthetic decor or prop in your home. 

Pro tip: These cabin crew-approved carry-on brands must be on your radar too!
