SInce its release, the RIMOWA Original suitcase has been a go-to companion for discerning travelers, revered for its iconic design and the German Maison’s masterful craftsmanship. Over the years, the case has been reimagined in a series of distinctive colors. Now, the collection continues to evolve, offering travelers a striking new option with the introduction of Emerald. Resonating with the natural beauty of the coveted stone, the RIMOWA Original suitcase’s metallic grooved surface now comes in a rich and captivating shade of green reminiscent of the gem. For a coordinated look, the new release is accompanied by a made-to-match RIMOWA Aluminum Personal Cross-Body Bag in the vibrant new hue.
Paired with the RIMOWA Original suitcase in Emerald, the seasonal capsule collection echoes the natural qualities cherished in the stone, with RIMOWA’s emblematic grooves mirroring the intricate inclusions that lend emeralds their unique character. The gleaming aluminum exterior of both novelties gives further depth to the color, evoking the allure of a precious gemstone.
To celebrate the launch of the collection, RIMOWA unveils a campaign set in a fictional universe where Emerald takes center stage. There, the RIMOWA Original suitcase becomes a portal into a realm that celebrates the beauty of the gem, embodying the collection’s essence. This imaginative landscape, created by artist Jean-Jacques Balzac, is inspired by the vibrant green hues of the gem and futurist architecture, seamlessly blurring the boundaries between the real and virtual.
The new Emerald hue is available in three different sizes across the RIMOWA Original collection, including Cabin, Check-In L, and Trunk Plus. The German Maison’s considered approach to craftsmanship is apparent across the new seasonal suitcase offering, from the stage-free telescopic handle and RIMOWA-pioneered Multi-Wheel system to the TSA-approved locks to secure belongings during travel.
The collection also features RIMOWA’s Flex Divider, a compression system that allows travelers to pack more whilst keeping items in order. Crafted for a lifetime of meaningful journeys, the seasonal suitcase collection benefits from the German Maison’s lifetime guarantee.
The RIMOWA Personal Aluminum Cross-Body Bag in Emerald’s interior features two open compartments, a zipped pocket, and three card slots to keep daily essentials safe, color-matched to the bag’s exterior. A removable leather strap comes in a complimentary shade of green.
Starting 27 June 2024, the RIMOWA Original Cabin in Emerald (THB 46,600), the RIMOWA Original Check-In L in Emerald (THB 58,500), the RIMOWA Original Trunk Plus in Emerald (THB 76,000), and the RIMOWA Aluminum Personal Cross-Body Bag in Emerald (THB 53,000) will be available at RIMOWA stores and online at RIMOWA.com.
I love this collection! The emerald color looks so luxurious. Perfect for my upcoming travels.
Are you serious? These prices are ridiculous. Almost $1500 for a suitcase?
Quality comes at a price. RIMOWA’s craftsmanship is unmatched.
Agreed. It’s an investment for those who travel a lot and want something reliable and stylish.
How sustainable is this though? Aluminum mining is terrible for the environment.
I think RIMOWA has sustainability initiatives. Plus, a high-quality suitcase means you won’t need to replace it often.
This is just another way to sell overhyped, overpriced products to gullible people. Plenty of good luggage options that cost less.
Sure, but do they offer the same level of durability and craftsmanship? Sometimes you get what you pay for.
I’m sticking with my $100 Samsonite; works just fine.
The cross-body bag in emerald is stunning. Matches my style perfectly.
Totally agree, it’s so chic, but TBH also insanely expensive for a small bag.
Not only is it beautiful, but it’s also practical. The design is exquisite.
The campaign set in a fictional universe sounds so pretentious. Just focus on the product.
Emerald is a bold choice! It’s nice to see some fresh color options.
Bold? More like gaudy. Classic black or silver would’ve been better.
I guess it’s a matter of personal taste. I think it’s refreshing.
I don’t get the hype. My luggage gets tossed around so much, it wouldn’t stay scratch-free for long.
Just ordered mine! Can’t wait to travel in style.
Did you just win the lottery? That’s a lot to spend!
Emerald is my favorite color! Finally a suitcase that isn’t boring.
It’s a nice option, but I agree with some folks here that the price is too steep.
As a frequent flyer, investing in good luggage is worth every penny. RIMOWA has never let me down.
Are these suitcases really worth three times the price of regular ones? Hard to believe.
It’s not just about the brand; it’s about the materials and craftsmanship.
Looking forward to the official launch date. Planning to grab the Check-In L.
Honestly, this just feels like a cash grab. How many colors do we need?
Jean-Jacques Balzac’s fictional universe for the campaign sounds intriguing. Art meets travel!
Art? Looks like marketing mumbo jumbo to me.
It’s a unique way to showcase the new collection, which is quite creative.
Exactly! Bringing imagination into a standard product launch is a breath of fresh air.
A lifetime guarantee is a pretty good deal, but I’ll wait for the sale season.
Good luck! These items are rarely discounted.
The multi-wheel system is fantastic. Makes maneuvering through airports a breeze.
The Trunk Plus size is perfect for long trips. I might just splurge this time.
Splurge is right! Hope you don’t get tired of the color.
This looks like another marketing gimmick to me. Different color, same product. Move along.
