About
They're saving the treasures that matter most — give them a home that honors these keepsakes. From their child’s first birthday hat to handwritten cards and the wedding shoes that danced them into forever, these keepsakes deserve more than a plastic bin.
Each Memorize Trunk is quilted to protect what matters and tailored to feel elevated — soft where it should be, structured where it counts. With a wide range of fabric aesthetics and custom embroidery (because legacy doesn't have one look), these trunks become a signature home for the moments that move them — made to be opened, and reopened.
Founding Story
We are living in the golden age of memory capture. We photograph everything, screenshot, save, and share. But the physical keepsakes — the newborn pink and blue hospital hat and bracelet, the handwritten birthday cards from grandparents, the first tiny grass-stained soccer jersey — tend to end up in plastic bins at the back of a closet. I felt that disconnect and went looking for something worthy of holding those memories and I couldn't find one that fit my aesthetic.
More than 10 years developing products at L'Oreal and Bath and Body Works taught me that emotional resonance is not an accident. Attention to detail isn't a feature; it's the whole point.
That means tailored construction with quilted fabrics; custom embroidery that makes each trunk unmistakably yours; and a range of aesthetics wide enough to reflect different people, homes, and milestones worth honoring: baby’s firsts, birthdays, christenings, b’nai mitzvahs, weddings, quinceañeras, graduations of all ages.
Some memories deserve more than a shoebox. I built Memorize Trunks so they do. Open it once. Come back to it often.

Gayle Greenberg Slonim started saving the things worth keeping when her daughter was born: the hand knit sweaters, the birthday cards from grandparents, the finger painted canvases, the first tiny soccer jersey. What she couldn't find was a place to put them that looked right in her house with her aesthetic. She wanted something tailored and well built, not a plastic box with a p-touch label shoved in a closet. So she sourced fabric herself, met with cut and sew shops across NY, NJ and CT, and kept going until she found a studio that could build what she had in mind. That trunk became Memorize Trunks.
Before launching Memorize, Gayle spent more than a decade developing and marketing consumer products, including roles at L'Oréal and Bath & Body Works. She brings that same product-focused eye to Memorize, personally overseeing the details that define each trunk, from the quilted fabrics and construction to the embroidery. An University of Texas undergraduate with an MBA from the University of Chicago, Gayle lives in New York City with her family and her Labradoodle.
