Because not everyone has an old trunk to restore, we want you to benefit from our artisanal know-how from the old trunk makers.
We create tailor-made trunks, using their gestures. In our workshop, we have a stock of spare parts and materials, which allows us to reproduce the authentic appearance of trunks of the time.
Passionate about the history of trunks, we have collected, over the years, more than 700 trunks which represent the history of the evolution of baggage, as the evolution of modes of transport. Thus, we have created a luggage collection which is, to date, the most important collection in Europe. Since 2011, it has been the Luggages Museum, the management of which is 100% entrusted to the City of Haguenau.
On a private workshop tour, we show you our artisan secrets and our library of ancient documents. Indeed, we have numerous works on the trunk makers of formerly their catalogs, their invoices, their labels, the labels of hotels and transport companies ...
Through our experience, we have become passionate about history, Expert in valuation with auctioneers, collectors, notaries ... Thus, we have published a book : Restauration des malles de voyage, as well as a guide to purchase of luxury trunks.
