MAKER: ORIENT
The Orient Trunk Shop, opened in 1903 in
the UK and was a luggage store selling cases, trunks and bags that were
predominantly hand made in the cellar beneath the shop.
“ORIENT MAKE” TRUNKS WHERE SPECIALLY
DESIGNED FOR USE ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS AS THE LUGGAGE NEEDED TO BE LIGHT,
STRONG AND FIREPROOF.
According to Online Sources the store
became The Bag Stores after WW2 until the 1980s, when brothers Andrew and David
Shilton from Shilton Plc (1933-present) added their Cellini brand to the store.
ORIENT EXPRESS TRAIN:
The Orient Express was a long-distance
passenger luxury train service created in 1883 by the Belgian company Compagnie
Internationale des Wagons-Lits that operated until 2009. The train traveled the
length of continental Europe, with terminal stations in Paris in the northwest
and Istanbul in the southeast, and branches extending service to Athens,
Brussels and London.
The the name became synonymous with
intrigue and luxury rail travel. The 1930s saw the Orient
Express services at its most popular. During this time, the Orient
Express acquired its reputation for comfort and luxury, carrying sleeping
cars with permanent service and restaurant cars known for the quality of their
cuisine.
Murder on the Orient Express (1934), one
of the most famous works by Agatha Christie takes place on
the Simplon Orient Express. Various movies was either staged partially on
the Orient Express (James Bond 1963 From Russia with Love) or handled entirely
about a muder plot on the Orient Express (Movies in 1944, 1954, and 2017).

DECADES OF TRAVEL IT HAS SEEN. LOCKS WORKING WELL. NO KEY THOUGH.
VULCANISED FIBRE:
Vulcanised fibreboard (also known as
vulcan fibre) is renowned for its tough yet lightweight properties
and was invented in 1859 by Englishman Thomas Taylor. It's heyday was in
the first part of the twentieth century when it was used for factory bins and
trolleys, and for luggage - as it looked like leather yet was tougher, much
lighter, and cheaper. The material is formed of paper, cotton and wood
pulp, 14 layers of which are specially bonded together - ‘vulcanised’ - and
saturated in a special solution, which is then compressed to the desired
thickness. The exact formula is one of its most closely guarded secrets. It is
also used today, to make Globe-Trotter suitcases, using the same technique and
materials.
