GREENE is, arguably, one of the world's most exclusive yet most discreet maker of hard-sided luggage, say high-end luxury. We make truly unique tailor-made trunks for travelling, as well as specialty cases, boxes, or chests for carrying prestigious items and exceptional objects, or for transporting precious personal collections. 

 

Roots

 

In the 16th and 17th centuries four generations of trunk-making craftsmen, members of the Greene* family, were entrusted with the wardrobe warrants to Kings and Queens of England, most notably Elizabeth I. 

 

Present

 

In  recent times the bygone Greene trunk-makers house of London was revived in the form of a namesake brand. The design and manufacture of commissions, rooted in the exceptional artisanship tradition originating from the Greenes' legacy, is nowadays led by Jean-Pierre Bal, foremost designer trunk-maker in Europe. 

 

Bespoke

 

GREENE of 1526 fulfils the expectations of discerning clients who expect a singular design and remarkable finish. Solely handcrafted, one at a time, and by appointment only.

 

 

 

 

* Thomas, John, William, and John II Greene (alternate spelling Green, Grene) coffermakers

established in London; at the time royal warrant and letters patent holders (as of 1526).
