Meet the Maker: Mossman

Mossman Trunks have been hand-built in Great Britain since 1938 using the same construction methods for nearly ninety years. This enduring British manufacturer remains the premier choice for vintage luggage, traditional storage trunks, and boarding school tuck boxes. Their classic steamer trunks feature leathergrain finishes, rigid PVC edging, and nickel-plated brass effect fittings, all meticulously crafted in their Cambridgeshire workshop. The range extends from classic boarding school trunks to furniture pieces and printed designs including Union Jack motifs and Harris Tweed finishes. With the growing demand for "shabby chic" and vintage aesthetics, Mossman has maintained its presence within UK boarding schools while now dominating high streets. Each trunk is supplied with keys and represents authentic British craftsmanship that combines nostalgic styling with practical durability for modern homes.
