40. Trunk Clothiers The Startups Team May 18, 2021 1 min read Our experts We are a team of writers, experimenters and researchers providing you with the best advice with zero bias or partiality. Founder: Mats KlingbergFounded: December 2009 (launched September 2010) Website: www.trunkclothiers.comĀ Whilst a menswear store in itself is not particularly unique, Trunk founder Mats Klingsberg wanted to create a personalised shopping experience that addressed the gap between big department stores like Selfridges and Libertys and the flagship brand retailers on Bond Street and Sloane Square. Based in Maryleboneās Chiltern Street, Trunk brings together āa lovingly curated rangeā of clothes with an impeccable service and relaxed atmosphere. Offering the feel of a small store but with big brands and no attitude, the shop has already amassed a global clientele. Listed as one of Walpoleās āBrands of Tomorrowā in 2011, Klingberg has used his background in both luxury fashion and the financial services industry to create an independent retailer with the potential to compete with the big boys. An online offering launched in 2012 and Klingberg has also begun developing Trunk branded bags with plans to expand the collection into a range of clothing shortly. Set to achieve over Ā£1m in turnover for 2013 and with plans to open a second store this year, this premium store is seemingly defying the recession.Ā Share this post facebook twitter linkedin The Startups Team
