The Bucket Hat
A note from the butler
A staple accessory for a casual, laid-back aesthetic, the bucket hat has multiple personalities, having been immortalized variously as a military, Mod, 90s streetwear, hip-hop and festival icon. Its soft, distinctive shape, resembling an inverted bucket, with its round, flat crown and downward-sloping brim, is crafted from lightweight, breathable fabrics bearing the signature Raffles tropical palm print in gentleman's grey. Offering a form of protection from both UV and raindrops, it is also highly practical as it can be folded or crushed to fit into your pocket or bag.

About this collection
A new suitcase collaboration between Globe-Trotter and Raffles has a rich history of travel behind it
There was a time when every journey began with ceremony. Steamships departed for distant ports, elegantly furnished Pullman trains crossed continents, and polished trunks stacked high in hotel lobbies promised adventures yet to unfold.
This was the dawn of luxury travel, a golden age of Belle Epoque exploration that still casts a spell on today’s sophisticated travellers. At the epicentre of it all was Raffles, which welcomed its first guests in Singapore in 1887, setting new standards of comfort and elegance with lavish suites, cutting-edge facilities and, of course, its iconic butler service. Just a decade later, Globe-Trotter, the legendary British luggage brand, began crafting handsome travel trunks and cases for those intrepid men and women setting out to explore the world.
