Introduced in 1997 (with hinged lid) for $155, modified in 2007 (removable lid), retired in 2012.
Josefina’s exquisite wooden chest is a traditional New Mexican treasure. It’s elaborately carved on the front and sides and has heavy, rustic hardware. The joints are fashioned with mortise and tenon construction—just as they would have been in 1824. There’s plenty of storage space inside, and a removable wooden tray on top that’s just Josefina’s size!
H: 12 1/2", W: 23 1/2", D:11"
Hinged Version:
I love Josefina's trunk! It arrived a week ago via UPS. Its pictures on americangirl.com don't do it any justice.
It is way light in weight, even when I filled it with Josefina's things. It has a nice smooth finish to it. Compared to Kit's trunk, which I also own, it is longer and slightly taller. The lid opens and sits back nicely. It has a leather hinge that holds the lid to the rest of the trunk. The inside is a compartment and a tray for Josefina. I was able to fit all that I own of her collection, save for the furniture, into the trunk. The trunk also has handles so it can be carried easily. On the outside it is very pretty, prettier in person than online.
grade: A+
