The best suitcases and specialty designs by the highly collectible luxury brand RIMOWA, whose signature aluminum luggage has forever entered the contemporary design lexicon.

Since its beginnings in 1898 in Cologne, Germany, RIMOWA has been at the forefront of innovation in crafting luggage for modern travelers. In times when great progress in transportation never ceases to revolutionize travel, RIMOWA has always been driven by a pragmatic, industrial, resolutely modern approach to luxury travel accessories, combined with a keen eye for groundbreaking design and technical solutions. Especially known for its high-profile collaborations with cult brands such as Supreme, Bang & Olufsen, Off-White, Porsche, and Fendi, the storied house's wares have become the It luggage for the fashion and design crowd.

This new volume spotlights some of the most iconic pieces from RIMOWA's archives via captivating, never-before-published photographs specially shot for this publication.

High-profile collaborations and the stories behind them--alongside fascinating anecdotes of famous clients--enliven the book. Crafted in Italy and printed on the finest European papers, this oversize tome serves as an ode to RIMOWA's thirst for innovation and functional approach to modern luxury.
