Welcome to a world where the past meets the present, and the exceptional becomes the everyday
Welcome to the mystical world of The Blue Trunk! I’m Ujval Anand, the founder, and I’m so happy to have you here.
The Blue Trunk isn’t just about artifacts—it’s about stories, memories, and the magic of India’s rich heritage. My journey started in the corporate world, but my heart was always drawn to travel, culture, and art. Collecting these pieces filled me with a joy I can’t quite put into words, and that joy led me here.
At the heart of our Bombay gallery sits an old blue trunk, a cherished symbol of everything we stand for. And now, I’m beyond excited to bring that same charm to you, wherever you are in India. With our website, you can explore and experience our collection from anywhere, anytime.
So, take a look around, find something that speaks to you, and let’s keep the magic alive together!
Love,
Ujval Anand

Vintage Peacock Betel Case
This vintage collectible is truly a work of art, featuring an ornate peacock-shaped Betel case/Paandaan. The center portion of the piece opens up, revealing compartments to store the various ingredients that go into making the paan. The peacock is depicted with an open feathered tail, which can also be unscrewed, adding to the functionality of the piece. The craftsmanship is truly remarkable, with intricate detailing throughout the piece, including on the feathers, beak, and eyes. It's a perfect example of the extraordinary pieces that were made in the yesteryears, even for routine requirements, showcasing the rich cultural heritage and artistry of India.
