Fashioned from wood or metal, covered in canvas or leather, a sturdy trunk has been the practical long-haul solution for goods and chattels for hundreds of years. In the 18th and 19th centuries, Chinese imports such as tea and silk were carried in sweet- smelling (and insect-repelling) camphor wood chests. The glamorous heyday of train and ocean travel in the late 19th and early 20th centuries turned the steamer trunk into a luxury item, making it as much of a fashion statement as the haute couture contents within, with makers like Louis Vuitton and Moynat leading the way.
