1 Answer
Are steamer trunks still being made?
Although steamer trunks are no longer used for traveling, they are still produced as a way to store valuables and as a storage solution. Steamer trunks were widely used in the late 18th century throughout the early 20th century as a way to transport clothes and other personal belongings and were meant to bridge the gap between luggage and storage.
