Mats Klingberg is the founder of the Trunk Clothing and is an aficionado in menswear, travel, and food.
Hailing from Sweden, Mats had a broad education; first studying business, then fashion in New York, and then hotel management in Switzerland. I also discover in the podcast that he dabbled as a chef in the Royal Marines, a fitness instructor in a gym, and a controller for an energy company.
After several years on the corporate ladder he opened the first Trunk Clothing store in London, aiming to take the pain of out shopping for men, and introducing several new brands into the British market.
The company has gone from strength to strength and now has an additional shop in Zurich which is where Mats joined us from where we discussed:
- What makes the Trunk store so special and how they fulfil their aim to take the pain out of shopping
- How to put your wardrobe together to make sure your outfits work in harmony
- Why Mats always travels with hand luggage and never hold luggage
- What makes a good retail store and subsequent experience for the customer
- How mens style in London, Zurich, Stockholm and New York all differ
And so much more. There is so much to be take from this episode, if you enjoyed it do consider giving the show a five star review.
