The Essential T-Shirt
A note from the butler
For lazy days and nights, to pair with joggers or pyjama trousers, add a layer in winter or sling over swim shorts in summer, the essential Raffles T-shirt in supima cotton is at your side. The witty 'Butler Did It' legend is discreetly embroidered on the front, with the Raffles palm on the back - both touches to remind you of Raffles stays past and adventures to come. If you want to feel luxuriously enveloped, choose a size up.

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.
