Stonyhurst College was founded in 1593 and remains one of the
UK's most prestigious boarding schools. An adaptation of the
Ampleforth collection, which is named after Tim Oulton's own alma
mater, Stonyhurst similarly transforms Timothy Oulton's
travel-inspired trunks into functional furniture. While preserving
all the hallmarks of traditional craftsmanship in its construction
and detailing, the collection experiments with a range of
innovative finishes including the celebrated Spitfire finish.
Unlike the Ampleforth, the Stonyhurst does not include a lift-up
lid. All leather finishes, plus the Shiny and Black Steel options
and Oxidised Solid Brass, all come with wooden banding. Both the
Spitfire and Aero finish come without any banding.
“The romance and nostalgia of vintage luggage, transformed into functional furniture”
Roots & Inspiration
Tim Oulton has always had an obsession with Vintage luggage
When Tim Oulton left boarding school aged 18, he began working
in his father's antiques shop. He fell in love with the
handcraftsmanship and patina of old leather suitcases, and later
became an avid collector of luxury antique trunks.
Keelin was very welcoming on my recent visit to Timothy Oulton’s bluebird store. She was as charming as she was informative about all of their wonderful pieces. Thank you again Keelin!”
