Welcome to a world where the past meets the present, and the exceptional becomes the everyday
Welcome to The Blue Trunk!
I’m Ujval Anand, the founder—and I’m so glad you’re here.
The Blue Trunk isn’t just about artifacts; it’s about stories, memories, and the magic of India’s heritage. My journey began in the corporate world, but my heart always belonged to travel, culture, and art. Collecting pieces of history filled me with a joy I couldn’t ignore—and that joy grew into The Blue Trunk.
At the heart of our Bombay gallery sits an old blue trunk—a symbol of everything we stand for. Today, I’m thrilled to share that same charm with you, wherever you are in India. Through our website, you can now explore and experience the collection anytime, from anywhere.
So, take a wander, discover what speaks to you, and let’s keep the magic alive—together.
With warmth,
Ujval Anand

Vintage Palmyra Fan
This is a large vintage Palmyra hand held fan from the Chettinad region, featuring woven folk motifs. Made from strips of Palmyra palm, the fan showcases the traditional weaving techniques practiced in the area. It is mounted in a double-bordered white frame to enhance its visual presentation.
Palmyra craft in Chettinad includes woven items such as fans, containers, and mats, created using dried palm leaves. This weaving tradition is closely linked to Kottan—a distinctive form of Palmyra basketry historically crafted by women of the Chettiar community. Both reflect the region’s emphasis on utility, skill, and locally sourced materials.
