Explore Greater Palm Springs in style with Globe-Trotter's new collection of luggage, designed to evoke the essence of the destination.
Taking a Dip into the Palm Springs-Inspired Globe-Trotter Collection
Step into the retro vibe of Palm Springs and indulge in the new collaboration between luxury brand Globe-Trotter and Visit Greater Palm Springs. Debuted during the 2023 Palm Springs Modernism Week, this exclusive capsule collection is a love letter to the California desert city.
A California Dream Palette
True to Globe-Trotter's exquisite craftsmanship, the capsule features three signature luggage pieces–a Check-In Case, a Carry-On Case, and an Attaché–accompanied by custom luggage tags and a Palm Springs-designed Leather Sticker. Drawing from the regional scenery, the collection boasts a color palette mirroring the Southern California lifestyle, incorporating cream for the desert mountain backdrop, yellow for the state's sunshine, blue for its ocean and pools, and green for the palm trees and lush landscapes. The luggage interiors showcase a starburst pattern, reminiscent of the sputnik chandeliers popular in the mid-20th century.
Desert Oasis Dreaming
Scott White, President and CEO of Visit Greater Palm Springs, comments, “We're thrilled to be partnering with Globe-Trotter, a venerable luxury brand, renowned for their handmade suitcases. Greater Palm Springs, with its distinct desert oasis and iconic mid-century architecture, serves as the inspiration for the Palm Springs Collection. Globe-Trotter's new luxury line will pique curiosity among travelers, compelling them to explore Greater Palm Springs and discover its myriad marvels.”
