Why Choose a Momento Trunk?

When competitors say "crafted in the US," they often mean importing mass-produced trunks and adding a custom lining. At Momento, we build and finish each trunk from scratch, to order, right here in Wisconsin, since 1987. That means faster turnaround, superior quality control, and peace of mind you won't find elsewhere.

delighted and surprised by the quality
We bought a puppy for Christmas for our family and surprised the kids with a trunk personalized for the dog and all its things. When I ordered it I was worried it might not arrive in time, but it came quickly and was BEAUTIFUL. I was delighted and surprised by the quality. It really does feel special and like something we will have forever...
