Founded in 1898 in Cologne, Germany, Rimowa (Reisegepäck und Maschinenfabrik Morszeck) pioneered aluminum luggage in 1937 and introduced the iconic grooved design in 1950—initially for structural strength, now the brand’s signature aesthetic. Rimowa revolutionized travel with polycarbonate luggage (2000), making lightweight durability accessible. Acquired by LVMH in 2016, Rimowa collaborates with Supreme, Dior, and Off-White while maintaining German engineering excellence. Lifetime warranty and proprietary multi-wheel systems make Rimowa the gold standard of luxury luggage.
Rimowa is German heritage—shopping in Germany means supporting brand birthplace with 15.97% VAT refunds. European boutiques (especially Munich/Berlin) offer exclusive colorways and priority access to collaborations. Lifetime warranty applies globally, making European purchases risk-free. Paris/Milan offer 12-13% VAT refunds as alternatives.
