Globite is founded by Ford Sherington, and our story begins at our warehouse at 119-127 Kippax Street, Surry Hills, Sydney. Skilled
trunk makers were scouted and brought over from Great Britain. And renowned architects, Robertson & Marks were engaged to reimagine
Globite HQ.

The eyes of the world turn to events
unfolding in Europe, and our patented fibre is put to the test in the form of gaiters worn by Australian diggers during World War One.

The Globite brand expands into sporting goods (cricket pads, golf bags, footballs) and as we find fame for our school cases, now carried by legions of Australian kids, our operations grow beyond 400 workers. Globite features in The Argus, Melbourne’s sought-after publication for arts, architecture, and fashion.

Commercial air travel takes flight, and as the world’s eyes shift to global destinations, so too we diversify our range to travel further and faster than ever before.

Globite continues its popularity as our cases are seen in school corridors and at bus stops and railway platforms across Australia. And manufacturing begins in Kinsgrove.

Globite is awarded as “the best value low- priced case on the Australian market."

Globite is invited to provide suitcases as part of a commemorative kit for every guest at the 110,000-strong Sydney Olympic Games Opening Ceremony.

We’re still the luggage alongside Australians in the world, amassing more air miles and border crossings than any other Australian brand.
