# Trunkville

> The definitive global directory of bespoke tailors, shoemakers, artisan craftspeople, and their trunk shows.

Trunkville (trunkville.com) is the central resource for information about bespoke menswear makers and trunk shows worldwide. We maintain a comprehensive, continuously updated database of makers, their upcoming trunk shows, permanent ateliers, and editorial content about the bespoke craftsmanship world.

## What is a trunk show?

A trunk show is an event where a bespoke maker — typically a tailor, shirtmaker, or shoemaker — travels to a city outside their home base to meet clients, take measurements, and accept commissions. Trunk shows are the primary way customers outside major tailoring capitals access bespoke craftsmanship.
