In a thoughtful continuation of RIMOWA’s lasting legacy, the German Maison is proud to introduce its newest design: the Original Bag. Inspired by the timeless appeal of the brand’s iconic suitcases, RIMOWA enters a new chapter with the introduction of the unisex handbag.
Crafted to redefine versatility, the new RIMOWA Original Bag offers a unique blend of functionality and elegance. The new design seamlessly integrates the allure of the brand’s iconic Original collection with its emblematic grooves, yet distinguished by its innovative choice of materials and proportions.
Made in Germany, the hard-sided aluminium handbag —which can be carried by hand or as a cross-body bag—boasts a sleek and durable exterior. Its lightweight and expertly crafted frame, punctuated by rounded edges, pays tribute to the design language of the brand. An elegantly crafted leather handle ensures effortless portability by hand, while a removable and adjustable leather webbing strap underscores its practicality for everyday use and travel alike. A further testament to its innovative design, the handbag also features a RIMOWA-pioneered button mechanism that readily facilitates opening and closing.
Transcending mere utility, the RIMOWA Original Bag’s timeless design infuses a versatility that seamlessly transitions throughout the day. Available in Silver and Black iterations, the piece embodies understated sophistication, effortlessly blending into any occasion—be it a casual outing or a formal affair.
This considered attention to detail extends to the handbag’s interior, which is crafted entirely in Italian-made leather. Made to accommodate all your daily needs, the Original Bag offers ample space to store belongings, with an organised and roomy compartment that features a zipped pocket and slots to store credit cards.
To mark the debut of the Original Bag, RIMOWA unveils a new campaign highlighting its broad appeal to connoisseurs of expert craftsmanship and confident style. The campaign, directed by filmmaker Jordan Hemingway with images captured by Louise and Maria Thornfeldt, invites viewers to reimagine the spirit of exploration through the lens of city streets, where individual journeys unfold with endless possibility. Following Liu Wen, Central Cee, IB Kamara, and Larissa Hofmann on their personal paths across one city over the course of 24 hours, their distinct lives and the unexpected moments along the way are uncovered, with the RIMOWA Original Bag in hand.
Starting September 12, 2024, the RIMOWA Original Bag in Silver and Black (RRP 1750 €) will be available at RIMOWA stores and online at RIMOWA.com.
