Some legacies you inherit. others, you begin. the story of the trunks company began in 2011, as a love affair with india’s glorious arts and crafts. inspired by the gorgeous craftsmanship they grew up around, brothers paritosh and priyank mehta envisioned exceptional works of art that would be treasured down the generations with pride. today, their perseverance and passion have taken the shape of the company’s handcrafted creations-lifestyle trunks that are indian at heart, global in spirit. a story of passion and skill when it comes to raw talent, indian craftsmen are unsurpassed. since time immemorial, they have captured the world’s imagination through stunning artworks, palaces and monuments. their talent, while still awe-inspiring, struggled to evolve and keep up with the changing times. our dream has been to take their centuries old craftsmanship and manifest it into something that oozed extravagance today. by honing their aesthetics, making them experience the world of contemporary opulence and detail, we transformed these master craftsman into passionate artists to lead into the future. and, in the trunk, we found just the vehicle to do so. an heirloom in the making endorsed by royals, nobles and aristocrats for centuries, the trunk has a rich storied heritage. long voyages, a massive entourage and a bevy of custom trunks, they formed a part of their travel accoutrement. our vision at trunks company is to embrace the historic past and interpret trunks with modern functionality that are a reflection of one’s personality. of course, with a mould-breaking product that is its own category, the process of creation had its own ups and downs. from developing the idea, to zeroing in on the right leather, to training the karigars to think beyond their immediate surroundings, every step brought its own challenges. for one, the leather we needed for these trunks was completely different from the kind typically used in conventional industries. finding the right fit, and the right tannery that could process it for us, took more than a few iterations, but led us to rich, fine-grain leather that epitomizes luxury and ages beautifully. every little detail of these trunks is thoughtfully perfected to create something that’s truly one-of- a-kind, made entirely by hand. our embellishments, for instance, are completely handcrafted and buffed, so no two sets of hardware are the same. from using the age old technique of sandcasting to stitching every handle of every trunk by hand, we leave no stone unturned to ensure a flawless finish. these opulent trunks, handcrafted in very small numbers, are designed for those distinguished few, who look beyond labels to express themselves. consider them our homage to a rich legacy, & our toast to finer things in life. core values authenticity: the trunks company believes that true beauty begins with authenticity, and this reflects in everything we do, right from the originality of our designs to the genuineness of the materials we use. craftsmanship: each creation of trunks company is completely handcrafted and employs age-old techniques executed with a meticulous attention to detail. we leave no stone unturned to ensure complete perfection. innovation: we thrive on challenge and love to push the envelope, both in terms of design and functionality, to create custom-made trunks the likes of which have never been seen before. passion: the work we do brings us immense pride and joy. each masterpiece we create is testament to the boundless devotion of our artisans. integrity: the work we do brings us immense pride and joy. each masterpiece we create is testament to the boundless devotion of our artisans.
