Rimowa is dialed into nostalgia this season, revisiting a playful design from 1988. Back then, the now-LVMH-owned label challenged the status quo by offering a compact, carry-on piece with a single side handle and an adjustable crossbody strap—no wheels, just a hands-on way to roam. This holiday revival keeps that spirit alive with a refreshed take on its lightweight polycarbonate shell in three bright shades: red, yellow, and blue.
Each case comes with Rimowa’s familiar luggage tag in white leather, a TSA-friendly lock, and a dual-compartment interior that keeps your essentials squared away. The brand, known for collaborations with Off-White and Supreme, built its name on modern minimalism, yet this tribute to the late ‘80s feels anything but ordinary. Think of it as a moment to disconnect—pre-smartphone, pre-rolling bag—and simply embrace the journey.
To push that sentiment further, Rimowa’s new campaign pairs contemporary travelers with archival shots from the original run, highlighting how wanderlust remains a timeless impulse. Priced at $1,200 each, the holiday range is now available online and at Rimowa boutiques worldwide. From your busy city commute to your next vacation, these cases remind us that sometimes, the best way forward is to look back.
