Globite luggage

Globite is one of Australia's most iconic luggage brands, established in 1911 by the luggage manufacturer Ford Sherington in Surry Hills, Sydney. The brand became a household name throughout the 20th century, particularly famous for its 'Globite' school cases made of sturdy compressed fiber, which were carried by generations of Australian schoolchildren. Originally, all manufacturing was concentrated in Sydney and later Kingsgrove, contributing significantly to the local Australian manufacturing industry.

In the modern era, Globite has transitioned from a local manufacturer to a global brand specializing in a wide range of travel accessories, including packing cubes, neck pillows, and contemporary suitcases. While the brand remains proudly Australian-owned and maintains its corporate headquarters in Australia, its manufacturing is now distributed across multiple countries to accommodate a diverse product range, though it continues to leverage its heritage of quality and purposeful design. Today, the brand is owned and managed by A. Royale & Co, ensuring the legacy of Australia's oldest luggage brand continues in the global travel market.
