Trunks by Ephtée: For the VIS (Very Important Shoes)!

The fans and collectors of shoes know very well: these delicate objects require particular attention and care. It is out of the question to slide the bland box under the bed! These valuables should be kept out of the view of prying eyes but attractively set off. The only solution: a hand made Ephtée shoe trunk. Proof that the passion for shoes has no limits...

An exclusive shoe trunk


Look into the trunk packed with shoes. Contemplate the shine and the craftsmanship of the leather. It allows you to arrange your shoes next to your prized watches, this attention to detail it is a must for any shoe aficionado. The trunk can be entirely customised such as this one recently created by Ephtée for a film star, where the only give away is his initials: A.D. The mystery of the identity of its owner remains intact, who gave this Bordeaux trunk maker a carte blanche and we had the chance to take a few photos. Besides the quality and the know-how, it has a mythical quality.



The eye for detail


Personalisation means a great attention to details, such as initials elegantly hidden under a leather latch or a mini watercolours tucked behind a sliding flap. Nothing has been left to chance: the trunk also includes a case made of stained and varnished solid beech for accessories as well as drawers able to hold 12 watches on individual pillows and 4 watches laid flat. No matter what you want, Ephtée will make all your dreams come true by creating your personal trunk. And of course the savoir-faire does not stop with the shoes. Fans of pens, alcohols, clothes, picnics or even animals will also see their wildest desires being fulfilled. The next big thing will probably be a trunk capable of holding the whole family for an improvised weekend away!
