The flat lid is reinforced by black strips and a dense row of rivets; on the front there are two side locks and a central closure. The interior is fully lined with tartan fabric in beige, brown, and black tones, creating an elegant contrast with the green exterior. The trunk offers a spacious and functional compartment, ideal for storing linens, blankets, books, accessories, or personal items.
