Why Challengers Love Rimowa Suitcases 1The history of the pioneer of aluminum suitcases that has accompanied the challenger

Rimowa was founded in 1898 as a harness workshop in Cologne, Germany. Founder Paul Morszeck developed custom suitcases for travelers, using leather-lined plywood and lightweight materials. Then, as people’s lifestyles changed over time, he turned his attention to developing smaller, more durable suitcases.

In the 1920s, Paul’s son, Richard Morszeck, joined the business. When a nearby factory caught fire, Richard found pieces of aluminum in the burnt ruins and had the idea to apply this material to suitcases. The lightweight and sturdy aluminum suitcases were able to withstand the rigors of travel that were previously unendurable, and quickly gained the trust of the public. Globe-Trotter, another suitcase brand with a long history, was founded in England in 1897, one year before Rimowa. As a brand that received a royal warrant from the British Royal Family, its classic and elegant appearance has been loved by the aristocracy. In contrast, Rimowa’s aluminum suitcases are not only beautiful to look at, but also functional and durable, and have become a reliable partner for those who take on challenges on their journeys, establishing their position to this day.

For me, my Rimowa suitcase is my travel companion. For the past four years, I have been based in London and traveling around the world to take on new challenges, and every time I pack my Rimowa suitcase, I feel excited about the new encounters and experiences that are about to begin and that will help me grow and develop. Also, every scratch on my suitcase is a good memory. When I got my first scratch on my Rimowa suitcase, I was a little depressed, but now I remember when the scratches and dents occurred, and each one is engraved as an experience that has shaped me into the person I am today.

What makes Rimowa the king of suitcases is its minimalist and sophisticated appearance. The minimalist form, the beauty of the aluminum and polycarbonate materials, and the vertical groove design are instantly recognizable as Rimowa. The design is instantly recognizable in airport lobbies, without resorting to flashy logos or decorations. The brand’s iconic design first appeared in 1950. The iconic groove design, which has continued to the present day, was inspired by the design of the Junkers F13, Germany’s most advanced aircraft at the time.

As if in resonance with this universal design philosophy, collaborations with various fashion brands such as Dior, Fendi, Off-White, and Supreme have been realized one after another. No other suitcase brand has received so many offers for collaboration from so many fashion brands. The brand is also loved by numerous celebrities, from the business elite to famous artists and fashion icons.

The Rimowa suitcase is an effective communication tool for me. Even though I speak English, I am not as good as a native English speaker. The culture is different, so even though I can communicate in English, there is no assurance that I can communicate in my heart. In this environment, when I went to stay with a Jamaican family living in the suburbs of London with my Rimowa suitcase, they complimented me on my suitcase. There was a language barrier because of the different vocabulary and accents used, even in English, but this brought us quickly closer and we are now in regular contact with each other. It was a moment when we were able to share the status of the Rimowa brand with someone from a completely different culture, language, and upbringing, and we were able to communicate with each other in terms of values.

Rimowa has consistently insisted on in-house production since its inception. Today, many processes at Rimowa factories are still carried out by hand by skilled craftsmen, and more than 200 parts are carefully assembled using high-precision aluminum, which is also used in aircraft. The company’s philosophy of quality has never wavered, even though some models have been produced in Canada and the Czech Republic in recent years. 100% in-house production enables a quality control system and precision manufacturing unmatched in the luggage industry. The company now offers a “full lifetime warranty” on all genuine suitcases purchased after July 25, 2022. These suitcases are now truly worthy of being called “lifetime products.

Rimowa suitcases are extremely durable, so don’t worry even if you’re an overseas airport employee who handles checked luggage roughly. In addition, most stores have a Rimowa Client Care area, so if your luggage breaks down on your trip, they can provide a simple repair. On a previous trip to Hawaii, when I tried to open my suitcase, it wouldn’t open due to a faulty lock. However, knowing this, I brought it to the Rimowa store in Waikiki and they were able to repair it on the spot, which really helped.
