The exhibition commemorating Rimowa's 125th anniversary is full of contents. You will surely want to go on a trip.

With demand for travel returning, one brand that is on the upswing is Rimowa. In recent months, Rimowa's directly managed stores have been selling suitcases at a tremendous rate.

The exhibition "SEIT 1898" will be held to commemorate the 125th anniversary of the Rimowa brand. This exhibition traces the history of Rimowa from the 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries through its precious archives.

In addition to the changes in the shape of travel bags as the means of transportation has changed, the evolution of suitcases is introduced in an easy-to-understand manner, including materials such as aluminum and polycarbonate, which are now commonplace, the iconic Groove design, and multi-wheels that enable smooth movement.
