Wow! I have exact trunk. Identical. Found it at the end of someone drivewAy on trash night. I snatched it up quickly.
Cut off the leg of a old pair of pants. Do the same to a pair of pantyhose. Stuff the pantyhose with poly fill, paper towels. Grocer bags , newspapers, anything you have to fill in the foot and leg. Tie it shut at the top. Put a shoe and suck on the foot and the pant leg on to cover the leg. Then stuff it in the hole . Make it look like some one trying to get out. Then add travel stickers from all over the world. A nice thick rope tied around it would be fun to. If someone asks just say it’s crazy uncle Harry. He doesn’t talk much.
There are some great ideas to use grass cloth or burlap. Putting the bun feet n it would be nice touch. I'm wondering if you can use somekind of wood stain on the top? Then do a gras cloth on bottom I'm thinking the grass cloth may be a little challenging to do on the top.
Don't replace the trunk with something new or take it apart; it's your memory chest and a trunk is always useful storage either for old memories or new!
I have this exact problem with a white wicker covered trunk! Could you possibly post pictures?? I would love to see how it turned out.
Thanks,

What is the brand of this trunk??? I had one exactly like it when I was little and ive been trying so hard to find another one. The metal corners and latch are the exact same. Ours was white and matched our 90s wicker bedroom. Please let me know if you can. I dont have many things left from my childhood so it would mean a lot to me.
