Original Check-In L Aluminum Suitcase
About the original
The RIMOWA Original Check-In L is an 86-liter aluminum suitcase built from high-end anodized aluminum with the signature parallel grooves RIMOWA has used since 1950. Founded in Cologne in 1898, RIMOWA shifted from wood to aluminum after a 1937 factory fire and has produced the grooved aluminum suitcase ever since. The Check-In L includes TSA-approved locks, the Multiwheel system, a height-adjustable Flex Divider, and a stage-free telescopic handle, sized for 14 to 15 days of travel. Supreme's FW19 version anodizes the aluminum black with a white spiderweb pattern pulled from their FW16 collection and lines the interior with a Supreme monogram jacquard.
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.
