The Case of The White Lotus: Globe-Trotter’s Centenary & Amethyst Collection Sparkles in HBO’s Award-Winning Series.
The glittering Mediterranean sun, breathtaking views and perfectly dressed young couples drinking cocktails every evening – it can only mean another season of HBO’s Golden Globe winning Best Limited Series ‘The White Lotus’. As a new cast of VIP vacationers go in search of the Dolce Vita in Sicily’s most exclusive hotel, it’s not just the stars that are stealing the show.
As high life-loving Tanya McQuoid makes her grand entrance in episode one, stepping off her yacht and declaring her intention to ‘have a memorable time’, there’s a prodigious pile of luggage being loaded onto the quay behind her. It’s enough to prompt the question from one of the locals: ‘Is she moving to Italy?’
How long she’ll be staying is, in fact, a question for the finale, but what’s certain is that the luggage, featuring Globe-Trotter’s iconic Centenary range, will maintain its style and dignity to the end. Every bit as glamorous as its A-list owner, this signature travel bag collection provides inspiration for modern VIP’s who, like Tanya, prefer to journey in style with high-quality, practical accessories – the epitome of luxury travel for 2023.

Reprising her role from series one, Jennifer Coolidge turns in an Emmy, Golden Globe and Critics Choice winning performance as half-billionairess Tanya, honeymooning in Sicily with her husband Greg. During her stay at The White Lotus, Tanya begins to suspect her new spouse’s intentions and gravitates towards a new group of friends – until she deduces that they, too, may be after more than just her company. At least Tanya shows more discerning taste when it comes to luggage, favouring Globe-Trotter’s luxury Amethyst Collection for bringing all her creature comforts with her wherever she goes.

Amethyst – Vanity Case | Globe-Trotter – £1,345
Tanya doesn’t go anywhere without her magnificent collection of luxury cosmetics and is never to be seen outside her room without first being primed, plumped and powdered to perfection. For transporting them, Tanya chooses the glamorous and glossy Globe-Trotter Amethyst Vanity Case – probably because it looks just as good against her bathroom’s marble finishings as it does on the prow of her hundred-foot yacht.
Amethyst – Carry-On | Globe-Trotter – £2,245
Looking equally at home on an airport tarmac or a red carpet, the Amethyst Carry-On Case is all Tanya needs to keep herself looking and feeling fresh during her flight and able to sashay onto the White Lotus pier as if stepping into a Vogue fashion shoot. This cabin-sized case with its high gloss finish will hold two or three outfits plus accessories, so it’s perfect for a luxury minibreak or for the frequent traveller in your life.
Amethyst – Large Check-In | Globe-Trotter – £3,245
Sitting centre stage and dazzlingly reflecting the radiant Sicilian sun, this sturdy case, with its vulcanised fibreboard body and hand stitched leather fastenings, may be Tanya’s most reliable travel companion. If you, like Tanya, prefer to travel with outfits and accessories for every occasion, then Globe-Trotter’s Large Amethyst Check-In Case should be top of your pre-travel wish list.

One half of this series’ two new glamour couples, Harper Spiller is holidaying with her husband Ethan and their friends Cameron and Daphne. As the series progresses the couples’ love lives become more and more entangled with suspicion, jealousy and infidelity – yet through it all Harper maintains her statement style of monochromatic colours and contrasting accessories, transported in style in her Globe-Trotter Centenary Range cases. Outwardly shallow, but with plenty going on under the surface, Aubrey Plaza’s enigmatic portrayal of Harper earned her a Golden Globe nomination for Best Supporting Actress.

Centenary – Carry-On | Navy / Navy | Globe-Trotter – £1,495
Harper’s signature style wouldn’t be complete without matching luggage, and we can see she’s a woman of impeccable taste from the moment she steps onto the pier wearing a black and white dress and blazer accessorised with a bright yellow statement handbag and matching Navy Globe-Trotter Case. Perfect for a weekend getaway or keeping your spare outfit uncrumpled and ready for any contingency, Globe-Trotter’s Centenary Navy Carry-On Case is as stylish and sophisticated as Sofia Loren in a black silk dress.

Like a Tiffany ring or a Gucci handbag, the distinctive silhouette of the Globe-Trotter Centenary Case is instantly recognisable and makes an attractive investment piece. Launched in 1997 to commemorate the brand’s hundredth year, the design features hand-stitched straps and gold-studded leather corners, evoking the golden age of steam and rail travel. While the collection offers a range of bright, contrasting shades, Harper favours the more elegant navy on navy, which is a perfect match for the White Lotus’s glittering marble and gold interiors.
Is it Case Closed for Series Three?
While speculation remains rife as to which characters will or won’t be returning in the third season, we can at least look forward to more glamorous locations, inscrutable (and unscrupulous) characters and a story that oozes sophistication, mystery and intrigue. One thing we can definitely be sure of is that Globe-Trotter’s luxury luggage is bound to make another starring appearance.
