Trunki makes travel storage cool for kids

Trunki

Walking down the street earlier from our Camden branch of CityStore, my eye was drawn to a display in a branch of a local shop that reminded me of a storage solution for kids that are seen in airports every time we travel.

The Trunki was first seen on Dragon’s Den where the dragons opted not to help finance entrepreneur Rob Law’s idea for a ride-on suitcase for kids. Ultimately the Dragons had to eat there words as over 85,000 cases have been sold and the company valued at £1m+.

We take our hat off to Rob. Trying to get a small child to carry their own stuff is a challenge at the best of times but to produce an item that they actually want to take hold of is quite a thing.

Whilst our storage centre in Camden had its own internal design issues during its construction the final result is certainly something of a success as well. Visit us at our store on Malden Crescent, Camden NW1.
