Finally got my first Rimowa!
It is! As a girl, this fit more to my aesthetic
As a man, I would not hesitate getting a white one either! :)
I’m a middle aged man and I love it too :)
It is nice when its new. Later on, well…
Thats the downside to it but as long as i dont check them in im sure theyll hold on
Even sliding it in the overhead, over the aluminum edges, it will get marked up. Maybe get a cover
Nah, covers are gauche. You bought a Rimowa because the quality of construction--they hold up well to abusive packing and handling. Scratches and marks are just a sign that you are actually making use of it. I've checked my carryon over a couple of international flights and sure, it got a little more beat up than if it had been in the overhead but nothing that embarrasses me.
Well I didn’t buy it. I know they hold up well and battle scars are to be worn with pride. But that one is plastic, not aluminum. So who really gives a shit about more plastic to keep it looking pretty in white 🤷🏻♂️.
Cannot confirm that. Mine looks used after 1 year of regular use (never checked), but I don’t mind. :)
Legit question, not trying to start anything but why buy luggage you have to be careful with? What happens if you have to check it? It's gorgeous but shouldn't luggage be able to withstand some abuse?
Im normally very careful with my stuff but I really dont mind scratches. Its normal for things to have signs of usage over time
I agree. I'm careful, but especially when traveling, we can't control everything. It is beautiful. I loved a different brand's trunk looking ones but knew they would definitely take a beating so I passed. Lol.
I agree but to even have to be careful putting it in overhead, for me, is a bit much. I love my bags but my luggage needs to be functional and nice looking but not dainty. I adore this suitcase but I can't get on board having to be careful with it. Also why I don't own any light designer handbags 😆
I have the same one and love it. I’ve def been super gentle with it trying to slide it into overhead bins on planes :D
Did you get the I'm luggage tag engraved in store ?
Yes! You can get it engaged in store
I got the Hybrid in black it’s so lovely 😍
Nice suitcase, it would be nice if it were a little bigger
Dope AF
link?
The white is stunning!
Looks nice, mine broke and I went with Away. Much better customer service.
Rimowa’s CS has always been good to me. Does away even have a store?
I think they have about the same # of stores as rimowa does in the US.
Ah I see I don’t visit the US
Let’s chat about this. Away > Rimowa?
I have both. I like Rimowa more: better wheels and better aesthetic.
I regret getting away since they ended up being a waste of money since I ended up just switching to Rimowa later. the whole battery thing is just a gimmick I never use. Its more useful to have a battery pack in your backpack / purse.
That said, I can’t say anything about the long term durability of either.
I have both Away and Rimowa luggage. I’d say they are for 2 different customers. It’s like saying a corvette is better than a Ferrari.
I also own both and agree with this. Rimowa’s maneuverability wins hands down. It’s still so easy to pull it no matter how heavy the luggage is.
Aside from that, Rimowa vs Away depends on your personal preference.
Away’s customer service is awesome too. My 5-year old large suitcase had a minor issue (interior) and they replaced it with a new one on the spot. They have a store near me (Venice, CA)
I’m a connoisseur of fine products, but I’m also not into buying things just because of the “name”. Is Away quality? I see photos of metal RIMOWA’s that look like they’ve been sliced through with a plasma sword and question the purchase. Then I see people rolling through the airport and value the aesthetic.
Have a fantastic replica. It’s a piece of art I must say.👏🏼
Replica?
The white hybrid is soooo nice!!!
