Always in pole position in the fiercely competitive suitcase industryRIMOWARecently, he has collaborated with Supreme, Virgil Abloh, and contemporary artist Daniel Arsham. Recently, he has collaborated with Supreme, Virgil Abloh, and contemporary artist Daniel Arsham, among others, in a series of bold initiatives that are a step or two ahead of the rest.
The brand's next move is eyewear.
Rimowa Eyewear, which applies the suitcase's design features, offers sunglasses and opticals. Indeed, when you think about it, eyewear is one of the essentials for travel. It is often the case that the moment you step out of the airport, you feel the sun's unprecedented intensity.
The first two unisex lines of sunglasses introduced here consist of the "Rimowa Bridge" and "Rimowa Rim. The former is an innovative design inspired by the rivet clasps on suitcases, and has an industrial appeal that tickles men's fancy. The latter, when viewed from the front, looks as if the left and right frames have been fastened together with a needle, and the lenses framed with thin acetate accentuate the presence of the frames.
Both frames come in three types, with the Rimowa monogram and suitcase grooves on the temples that extend in a straight line. Please take a look at the lineup at a glance from here.
