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.

The Lonely Heiress – Tanya McQuoid

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.

Tanya’s Luggage Collection & Gift Ideas

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.

The Nouveau Riche Cynic – Harper Spiller

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.

Harper’s Luggage Collection & Gift Ideas

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.

Centenary – Large Check-In | Navy / Navy | Globe-Trotter – £2,095

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.

Typically thought of as being an easy to clean area of the home, hard floors have risen in popularity in recent decades. Globally, hard floors are the most common floor type,2 and research released today by Dyson has uncovered poor cleaning habits that mean hard floors are likely to be harbouring an array of hidden nasties. This comes as 32% of Brits – equating to 21.6 million people in the UK – will use the same dirty mop head for six months or more before replacing it. What’s more, one in 20 also admit to keeping the same mop for a year or longer, and one in 10 think it is acceptable to use the same mop 100 times, spreading dirt around their floors every time they use it. Cross contamination is a primary issue for most common and traditional mopping methods with germs and bacteria further being unknowingly spread around homes as Brits use dirty water to clean floors.3 45% only change the water to new water between rooms, whereas 41% wait even longer until it looks dirty. This could mean that floors are being washed with dirty water, adding more dirt rather than taking it away. Surprisingly, almost one in 10 (9%) even admit to not changing the dirty water at all when mopping. Over a quarter (28%) admit to mopping their floors once a fortnight or less while over half (53%) admit they don’t regularly clean behind appliances and leave dirt to build up for as long as six months at a time. image002.jpg On how to achieve a perfect barefoot clean feel after mopping, Geli Lee, Dyson Engineer and Home Cleaning Expert offers their top tips for eliminating dirt around the home: 1. Create a cleaning schedule to stay on top of dirt build-up. In the last year, there has been a 15% global reduction in the number of people who maintain regular cleaning schedules. 47% of the British public admitted to only being motivated to clean when they spot visible dirt or dust.4 Regular floor cleaning with a wet hard floor cleaner like the Dyson WashG1™ removes more stubborn dirt than vacuuming alone. It is important to have a debris free surface, clear any clutter from the floor or other surfaces. Choose the right machine: Different vacuums are designed for different floor types and home sizes. Some machines will be engineered with hard floors in mind and will struggle on thick pile carpets, for example. Choosing the right machine for your home will make a big difference to the ease and speed with which you’re able to clean your home. Clean your floors ‘little and often’. Washing your floors frequently in areas that receive more foot fall will help to stop dirt building up and getting trodden into your floor. Using a dedicated wet floor cleaner on hard flooring such as the Dyson WashG1 is helpful for this, as the versatile format means it vacuums and washes the floor simultaneously. Cleaning schedules have also become less regimented. In recent years only 41% of people claim to have a regular cleaning schedule, and 60% admit to cleaning reactively; being motivated to clean only when there is visible dirt or dust5. It’s perhaps not surprising, that a fifth of people are still concerned their floors are dirty after they’ve mopped them (22%) and one in four6 feel extremely worried about indoor dust at home. Geli Lee, Dyson Engineer and Home Cleaning Expert reveals why it is important to change the way we mop: “Cleaning your hard floors properly and regularly is important for maintaining a healthy environment around your home. Without a proper cleaning routine, dirt may unknowingly build up and spread around your home. It is evident from our research that current mopping habits mean British households aren’t cleaning their floors as effectively as they should. “From ignoring problem areas where dust and debris build up, cross contamination with dirty water to not replacing mop heads or inconsistent cleaning, current mopping behaviours may be making floors dirtier as opposed to cleaner. Moving away from traditional methods, wet floor cleaners like the Dyson WashG1 simplify the floor cleaning experience and provide a modern efficient and hygienic solution” To help take the guesswork out of mopping, the brand new WashG1 is Dyson’s first dedicated wet floor cleaner that tackles wet and dry debris in one go. Engineered for hygienic cleaning and maintenance, the WashG1 is revolutionising wet floor cleaning, removing the need for multi-products and multi-steps to achieve a barefoot clean feel around the home. To put the product to the test, Dyson have cleaned one of London’s most iconic landmarks The Victoria and Albert Museum. From cleaning the grand marble floors housing the most prestigious exhibits, to cleaning up leftover food in the Gamble Room Cafe, the WashG1 had a dirt busting tour of the museum leaving it spotless. Images can be found here. The WashG1 introduces Dyson’s engineering expertise to cleaning hard floors. With a 1 litre clean-water tank to cover flooring up to 290m2, the Dyson WashG1 uses a combination of hydration, absorption, and extraction technologies to remove wet and dry spills and stains simultaneously. The Dyson WashG1 is available to purchase now from Dyson.co.uk, retailing at £599.99.
