Globe-Trotter Kobe Store Opens August 5

Globe-Trotter, the British premium travel lifestyle brand, will open a new flagship store in Kobe's former foreign settlement on August 5, 2026.

Kobe, once a thriving foreign settlement, has nurtured a charming townscape and a modern travel culture alongside Japan's modernization. The historic atmosphere, where Western aesthetics intersect with Japanese tradition, deeply resonates with Globe-Trotter's cherished aesthetic of timeless travel lifestyle. A new store, embodying the essence of modern British luxury, will now be born in the dignified air of the former foreign settlement area near Daimaru Kobe.

Globe-Trotter Kobe Store Facade

The new store's interior is inspired by a London townhouse, reinterpreting the classical styles of the Victorian and Edwardian eras in a modern way. Materials frequently used in 19th-century London interiors, such as mahogany and brass, are combined with French herringbone oak flooring. The Cambridge blue walls, the global concept for Globe-Trotter stores, provide a refreshing accent to the stately space. The interior comprises a room displaying everything from classic to the latest models, and a dedicated bespoke lounge for custom orders.

Display Area Bespoke Lounge

1 Display Area

Upon entering through an open-facade entrance that generously incorporates natural light, the room unfolds with a design that alternates between "concentration and space" in its displays, creating a comfortable and uncrowded atmosphere. The windows showcase stacks of the Safari Collection, visually appealing in their diverse size variations. In addition to luggage, a wide array of travel accessories are also exhibited.

2 Bespoke Lounge

Stepping further back from the display area reveals the substantial bespoke lounge. With a layout that is neither overly revealing nor claustrophobic, it offers a space to leisurely experience Globe-Trotter's history and craftsmanship legacy while maintaining privacy. The bespoke area is designed to evoke an artisan's atelier, featuring industrial shelving within a deliberately dark environment. By integrating classical moldings, antique furniture and fixtures, and relevant photographs and books, a space that evokes both vintage and modern sensibilities has been realized. Here, you can enjoy an elegant time crafting your one-of-a-kind original case while conversing with experienced specialists.

Globe-Trotter Kobe Store is poised to become a hub where visitors can experience the world of Globe-Trotter, which has captivated countless travelers, and broaden their new travel sensibilities. It awaits travelers seeking their next adventure.
