MAGMATIC
When production of the MK5 Trunki began on April 19th, perhaps fittingly, the first British made case to roll off the Magmatic production line was its Team GB licensed Trunki. Designed in sheer white, the
Trunki has turquoise and red union jack detail, official Olympic and Paralympic logos, plus sparkly horns. It is made from the same hardwearing plastic as adult suitcases and is hand luggage approved. It features two carry handles, secret compartments, locking catches, a bits pouch and teddy bear seatbelts (or internal straps). The Trunki is CE marked, holds the EN71 safety certificate and is recyclable.
