Rimowa is a German premium luggage brand founded in 1898 in Cologne, originally producing wooden trunks before pioneering aluminum suitcase construction in the 1930s. The brand is best known for its grooved aluminum design, inspired by aircraft fuselage structures, which has become a distinctive visual signature in the travel industry. Now part of LVMH, Rimowa combines engineering precision with minimalist industrial design, positioning its products as long-term travel companions rather than seasonal fashion items. Its product range includes aluminum and polycarbonate suitcases, travel accessories, and limited collaborations with brands like Supreme. Design and engineering are centered in Germany, with a strong emphasis on durability, repairability, and lifetime service philosophy.
