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
Founder & Curator
This intricately embroidered yoke panel, originally part of a traditional woman's garment from the Kutch region, showcases the rich textile traditions of western India. Worked in bright, contrasting threads on cotton, the design features stylised floral motifs—each anchored by a central mirror, or abhla, reflecting light and adding dimension.
The piece is framed against a white background with a minimal white border, highlighting the precision of the handwork and the vibrancy of the palette. It stands as both a decorative and cultural artefact, offering insight into the ceremonial attire and artistic language of Kutchhi women.
