The grid design inspired by the 1969 masterpiece makes a big impact!
This limited edition collection embodies a “dialogue between tradition and innovation,” reinterpreting Rimowa’s iconic groove design into a more structured and geometric design.The most distinctive feature is the embossed grid pattern stamped into the silver aluminum. This design maintains the strength and durability that Rimowa’s engineering is known for, and has great visual impact. The interior also features a soft quilted lining and high quality leather details that also incorporate the grid pattern, allowing the user to enjoy a high level of design unity between the exterior and interior.The collection is inspired by the famous “Hand Carry Case” launched in 1969, which is a perfect combination of technical precision, design, and functionality.
Blue accents are exceptional!Design that pays homage to history meets modern functionality
This collection is manufactured entirely in Cologne’s historic factory and comes with a lifetime warranty as a testament to Rimowa’s years of aluminum fabrication expertise. While the Classic series’ signature elements such as leather handles, shiny palladium locks, and airplane-motif rivets are retained, modern features such as a multi-wheel system for a smooth ride and infinitely adjustable telescope handles are also firmly in place. And the leather parts in Rimowa’s historic color of blue add a sophisticated accent to the overall item while emphasizing its archival roots. Exclusive parts of the limited collection include a specially designed leather luggage tag with the archive logo and a limited edition numbered badge on the inside.
