Trunks aren’t just containers. They’re time capsules. Before suitcases rolled through airports, trunks were the way people travelled. Built solid, heavy duty, sometimes decorated with brass corners or painted lettering.
I remember 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, art station portfolio stuffed with costumes and props, waiting for the show to begin.
When I first laid eyes on the circus clown trunk, I stopped in my tracks. The red-nosed clown staring upside down across the front felt like more than decoration. It felt like a memory of a lost world — a travelling circus.
