The Rimowa Never Still leather collection released globally this week delivers full-grain backpacks, cross-body bags, zip totes, and hard-sided cabin suitcases. Discussing the product strategy, Rimowa notes the hardware expansion acts as a method of "reinforcing its commitment to mobility in all its forms."
The three-city project frames the accessories against early window light and active street movement. The German luggage maker states the imagery was commissioned to showcase "the beauty found in even the shortest journeys – from the pale early light filtering through a car window to the vibrant energy of a morning walk."
Accompanying that foot traffic, a padded back panel and suitcase attachment sleeve structure the Never Still Flap Backpack. The brand scales down the silhouette into a muted brown Mocha hue, while a deep Anthracite grey coats the larger iteration. Extending the horizontal proportions, the Never Still Duffle arrives in medium and large sizes. A small Cross-Body Bag utilizes a removable webbing strap alongside a customizable tag. Restricted exclusively to black, the Leather Zipped Tote fits a 13-inch laptop inside the main compartment. An integrated rear sleeve slides the exterior directly over rolling luggage.
The Distinct Cabin suitcase introduces Anthracite to a hard-sided lineup previously consisting of Navy, Taupe, and Powder Blue. Produced inside the historic Cologne factory, a wrapping technique applies lightly pebbled leather over the rigid structure to maintain the signature grooved shell. The house details the exterior will gradually develop a patina as a "visible sign of a life well-travelled." Silver rivets and palladium zippers secure the color-matched aluminum corners. A stage-free telescopic handle extends from the top of the frame above the proprietary Multiwheel system.
Detailing the pricing tiers for the September release, the Anthracite Distinct Cabin sets the top threshold at $3,525. For the soft-sided travel pieces, the large Leather Duffle runs $2,350 while the medium variation is priced at $2,050. The large Leather Flap Backpack costs $2,250, directly above the $1,950 black Leather Zipped Tote. Dropping below that tier, the small Leather Flap Backpack retails for $1,850 and the small Leather Cross-Body Bag enters the market at $1,675. A $750 Leather Toiletry Bag rounds out the accessories lineup.
