This artist had a trunk made within the context of his presentation of ponies.
Which just shows that, at the time, some circus artists had taste!

For the 25th anniversary of the Ken Club in Paris, the French famed trunk-maker creates a special trunk coated with his legendary chevron red canvas, a real fitness room on castors containing a step aerobics platform, boxing gloves, a computer, speakers, a gym mat, a jump rope, dumbbells, a yoga mat and other weights.
An ultra-luxury trunk which combines the know-how of the one and the other, the supreme quintessence of the immoderate taste of each one for customization…
The pieces of baggage with saurian or reptile skin coating have always been very successful.
They require, for their manufacture, a specific skill, their leather being rather particular.
Crocodile leather vintage baggage is always refined.
Caution: When purchasing a crocodile leather baggage, make sure you will have no border to cross.
Indeed, the Washington convention on the protection of species very precisely regulates things and, nowadays, a crocodile leather bag must have a certificate to attest to the skin’s provenance. Without that certificate, your piece of baggage will be destroyed. It happened to the best ones.
How beautiful the lineage of the camphor tree!
It is a tree from the Lauraceae family, just like the laurels (laurus) that we know in this country.
