Students have been using trunks to transport their belongings to & from their colleges & around the world for centuries. The University has a long tradition of drawing young men & women from every continent to study, & particularly in the age before modern air travel, the trunk was a practical & sturdy tool to help them do this. Once they arrived at their rooms in college, the trunk was also a useful item of furniture, used to store belongings, act as a table, or even a seat. The University of Oxford Student Trunk range has been designed to reflect the multiple uses that trunks have been put to over the years, & continues the long tradition of craftsmanship & durability that has made them so invaluable to Oxford students.
