Posh

Fancy.

Apocryphally the acronym POSH stood for ‘Port Out, Starboard Home’ which is how the rich chose their state rooms on the mighty Cunard transatlantic liners of the past. Those locations afforded the best views for arrival in Manhattan and when returning to Southampton.

In this case the reference is to overpriced luggage (known as “steamer trunks” back in the day) displayed in downtown San Francisco, of a type likely used by those passengers of the bygone era when travel was an adventure, the journey greater than the destination. And one in which the hoi polloi was mercifully hidden away below the water line in cattle class with no lifeboat access.
