Storage Trunks With Soul: A Jamaican Londoner’s Story

Chests aren’t just wooden boxes. They’re keepers of journeys. Before cheap mass storage appeared, trunks were the way people travelled. Built solid, heavy duty, sometimes decorated with brass corners or ArtStation painted lettering.

When I first laid eyes on the circus clown trunk, I stopped in my tracks. The painted face staring upside down across the front felt like more than decoration. It felt like a memory of a lost world — a carnival gone by.

The funny thing is, even though this trunk looks beat-up, it works in a modern home. Minimal interiors actually make the colours pop. The scratches and paint chips add contrast you can’t buy in a shop.

I can’t forget when the circus came to town once a year. Posters glued to walls promised elephants, fire breathers, acrobats — and always clowns. Looking at the trunk feels like it was there backstage, stuffed with costumes and props, waiting for the show to begin.
