RIMOWA
RIMOWA gives travel a recognisable silhouette: grooved shells, rounded corners and functional details rooted in its Cologne history.
RIMOWA: origin & history.
The story begins in Cologne in 1898, when Paul Morszeck opens a workshop making cases for travelling professionals. Later generations develop the grooved aluminium shell that becomes RIMOWA’s visual signature. Its appeal lies in the relationship between a rigid structure and a life in motion: wheels, handles, locks and internal dividers each have a visible role. Today the house belongs to LVMH and works across aluminium, polycarbonate and leather luggage. The silver Original Cabin keeps metal at the centre of the design. The current 92653004 version pairs its familiar grooves with a soft-return grab handle and a Compression Flex Divider system.

A few pieces tell the story in their own way, through a shape, a material or a familiar gesture.
A closer look.
What catches our eye.
Original’s ribs and exposed functional parts offer a structured alternative to a soft travel bag. Choosing aluminium also means considering its empty weight and the marks it can collect through use.
