Since its birth in 1898, Rimowa has offered a variety of luggage to meet the changing times and needs of travelers.
The brand's signature is the groove design engraved on the suitcases, but the new suitcases we picked up this time do not have the ribs (grooves) and have a much different look than usual.
The design motif is a hand-carry case made in 1966. It has an uneven, rugged look made of aluminum and a cognac-colored handle, giving it a retro feel.
The name of this work is HAMMERSCHLAG. The word is German for "hammering," which is exactly what the product looks like.
The lineup includes two types of cases: hand-carry cases and cabin-size suitcases. The former is limited to 966 pieces and the latter to 1,898.
HAND-CARRY CASE HAMMERSCHLAG
H35 x W48 x D17cm, ¥348,700
CABIN HAMMERSCHLAG
H54 x W39 x D23cm, ¥420,200
Both are designed with special attention to detail on the inside as well. The dividers are lined with a special nylon fabric not found in other Rimowa models, and the dividers have leather zippered pockets and archive-inspired hooks.
The leather patch on the lining, engraved with a serial number, is another highlight.
Each is now on sale at select Rimowa stores and on the official website. They may be expensive, but the scratches that will be carved on your bag as you travel will definitely make it look better in the future.
