I still think about 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 digital art station props, waiting for the show to begin. Old storage boxes aren’t just places to keep things. 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 painted lettering. When I first stumbled across the circus clown trunk, I froze for a moment. The hand-drawn clown staring upside down across the front felt like more than decoration. It felt like a fragment of a lost world — an old fairground life. 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.
