RIMOWA unveils the Original Suitcase Emerald collection in a reimagined universe thought up by artist Jean-Jacques Balzac.
Since the RIMOWA Original Suitcase was launched in the 1920s by the brand founder’s son, Richard Morszeck, it has captured the essence of travel with a generous dose of quintessential German form-meets-function sensibilities. Since then, it has been a steadfast travel companion for discerning travellers with an array of sizes catering to various needs and wants.
Given the propensity of individuality these days, colour has been a cornerstone of personal expression, and RIMOWA recognises this with seasonal experimental colours striking the cords of the young and the young at heart. This season, RIMOWA presents a bolder take on the Original suitcase, which previously erred towards safer and conventional colourways. After being rendered in shades of silver, black and titanium, the RIMOWA Original suitcase now shines in its most expressive form with the seasonal emerald green.
Step into artist Jean-Jacques Balzac’s imaginative landscape, where the new RIMOWA Original suitcase takes centre stage in the reimagined universe. Often regarded as RIMOWA’s crowning jewel, the Original Suitcase captures the naturalistic beauty of the precious emerald gemstone with its unique inclusions, a subtle nod to the luggage exterior’s iconic grooves. Emerald green adds a touch of artistry to RIMOWA’s famed functionality as it blankets the entire luggage, bar its black Multiwheel system. The seasonal collection is available in a trio of sizes ranging from the Cabin aimed at light travellers to the Check-in L and Trunk Plus, ideal for a summer getaway, and the Personal Aluminium Cross-Body Bag to keep travel essentials at arm’s length.
As with RIMOWA’s famed functionality, the emerald collection features a series of standard (by that we do not mean basic) offerings. The stage-free telescopic handle and Multi-Wheel system allow one to glide through various surfaces, while the Flex Divider compression system allows travellers to maximise packing in true Marie Kondo “spark joy” style. All these and more are covered by RIMOWA’s lifetime guarantee for a lifetime of meaningful journeys.
