About the original
The RIMOWA Original Cabin Plus is a 49-liter aluminum-magnesium alloy carry-on with RIMOWA's signature grooved shell, a Multiwheel system, integrated TSA-approved combination locks, telescoping handles, and internal Flex Dividers with a compression strap. RIMOWA was founded in Cologne, Germany in 1898 by Paul Morszeck and introduced its first all-aluminum suitcase in 1937; the ribbed aluminum design has been produced continuously since then, and the company has been majority-owned by LVMH since 2016. The FW19 Supreme edition features a custom spiderweb pattern anodized directly into the aluminum shell, a co-branded Italian leather luggage tag, custom lining, and a matching drawstring shoe bag — a more involved production than the 2018 collab's logo application.
About RIMOWA
RIMOWA is a German luggage manufacturer founded in 1898 by Paul Morszeck and Heinrich Görtz in Cologne, initially producing wooden trunks. Paul's son Richard registered the Rimowa trademark, an acronym for Richard Morszeck Warenzeichen, in 1931, and introduced the first riveted duralumin aluminum suitcase in 1937. The signature parallel-groove case debuted in 1950, and the brand later pioneered lightweight polycarbonate luggage in 2000. Now owned by LVMH, RIMOWA cases are handcrafted in Cologne and assembled from more than 90 steps. Supreme released a co-branded RIMOWA Topas Multiwheel aluminum suitcase for Spring/Summer 2018.
