About this collection
When choosing your trunks, consider how your guests might reuse them later. Our rigid, metal-latched trunks are sturdy enough to become jewelry organizers or memento boxes, while our food-grade tins make excellent spice containers for the kitchen. Think about the scale of your event; for destination weddings, we recommend our lightweight, baggage-friendly options that maintain a premium look without adding bulk to your guests' luggage.
More Than Just Packaging
At Kottanz, we believe a gift box should be just as exciting as the item inside. We move away from disposable plastic packaging to offer sturdy, reusable alternatives that reflect our love for Indian art forms. Whether you need a small tin for dry fruits or a large trunk for a wedding saree, our collection is designed to be kept.
Our Design Inspirations
Each box tells a story. You will find motifs inspired by:
- Pichwai Art: Traditional temple art reimagined on modern trunks.
- Raja Ravi Varma: Classic archival prints that bring a sense of nostalgia to your thamboolam.
- Benarasi Brocade: Rich, woven fabrics that scream royalty and elegance.
- Chettinad Patterns: Vibrant checks that add a splash of color to any festival.
Practical Gifting for Every Event
If you are planning for a wedding, consider the purpose of the box. For nalangu or traditional ceremonies, our meenakari-style tiffin boxes are a community favorite because they are both festive and functional for home use. For more formal events, our hard-shell trunks with metal latches offer a higher perceived value, perfect for corporate gifting or high-end return gifts. All our metalware is food-grade, ensuring you can safely pack sweets, dry fruits, or homemade snacks without worry. We ship from our Bengaluru store to locations across India, Singapore, Dubai, and the US, so we can support your event whether it is local or a global destination wedding.
