Made in Germany, this hard-sided aluminium handbag can be carried by hand or worn crossbody. Its sleek and durable exterior, enhanced by lightweight construction and rounded edges, embodies RIMOWA’s design ethos. The elegantly crafted leather handle ensures effortless portability, while a removable and adjustable leather webbing strap adds practicality for both daily use and travel. A RIMOWA-pioneered button mechanism simplifies the opening and closing process, highlighting the brand’s commitment to user-friendly innovation.
Transcending mere utility, the RIMOWA Original Bag’s timeless design offers versatility that seamlessly transitions throughout the day. Available in sophisticated Silver and classic Black, this piece exudes understated elegance, making it suitable for any occasion, from casual outings to formal affairs.
This meticulous attention to detail extends to the handbag’s interior, which is upholstered entirely in luxurious Italian leather.

Does anyone actually need a $2,000 handbag? It’s just another status symbol for the rich.
Some people appreciate luxury and quality craftsmanship. What’s wrong with that?
I’m all for quality, but there has to be a limit somewhere. It’s just excessive.
Quality craftsmanship is becoming a lost art. If people are willing to pay for it, it keeps these traditions alive.
Can we talk about how this bag is just a glorified lunchbox? Aluminium as a fashion statement is ridiculous.
But isn’t that the point? RIMOWA is known for its unique materials. It’s different from typical leather or fabric bags.
Different doesn’t always mean better. Sometimes it’s just gimmicky.
I find it refreshing. Fashion can be repetitive, so an aluminium bag is a new take. It’s creative.
From a functionality standpoint, how practical is this bag really? Can it be used daily?
Considering RIMOWA’s reputation, I’d say it’s pretty practical. They are known for making durable products.
Durable, sure, but I’m worried about the weight and comfort of carrying it around all day.
With the adjustable strap and leather handle, I’d think they’ve considered comfort. Only a tryout could confirm though.
Luxury brands are running out of ideas. What’s next? Diamond-studded backpacks?
Honestly, that might be a thing already. But innovation often stems from pushing boundaries.
Wow, this bag is stunning! I love the mix of timeless design and modern materials.
It’s interesting, but I wonder how many people will actually find it practical.
The campaign sounds just as pretentious as the bag itself. Who cares about ‘exploration within the urban landscape’?
It’s marketing fluff, for sure, but it works on some people. They want to buy into that lifestyle.
And that’s the problem. We’re sold stories instead of actual utility.
Considering the price, this bag better last a lifetime. And maybe even my kid’s lifetime.
If it’s as durable as their suitcases, it probably will!
Good point. RIMOWA’s luggage does have a solid reputation.
The real question is: can it fit a laptop? It’s a deal-breaker for me if it can’t.
I doubt it. Seems more like a handbag than a business bag.
I wish there were more color options. Black and Silver are too limiting.
I actually think simplifying the colors to Black and Silver makes it more versatile. Less is more.
Boutique brands coming out with new items even during economic uncertainty feels very tone-deaf.
The affluent market isn’t really affected the same way. These brands are catering to a particular audience.
I’d love to see more collaborations. Imagine RIMOWA teaming up with a high-end fashion house!
Agreed! That could bring some interesting designs and concepts to life.
Exactly! It’d be exciting to see what they’d come up with.
I bought a similar bag from a thrift store for $10. Can’t see myself spending thousands.
Has anyone seen the campaign video? It’s actually quite artistic. I enjoyed it.
I’m a huge fan of RIMOWA products. They’re worth every penny.
