Supreme vs. Original
Supreme version
Original — RIMOWA
Topas Multiwheel 45L (now Original Cabin)
About the original
The RIMOWA Topas Multiwheel 45L — now sold as the Original Cabin — is a carry-on suitcase built from anodized aluminum-magnesium alloy with RIMOWA's grooved shell, a four-wheel Multiwheel system for 360-degree rolling, dual TSA-approved combination locks, and a Flex-Divider interior. Dimensions are roughly 21.7 by 15.8 by 9.1 inches with a 45-liter packing volume and an empty weight near 10.6 pounds. RIMOWA was founded in Cologne, Germany in 1898 by Paul Morszeck and introduced its grooved aluminum case design in 1950, inspired by the Junkers Ju 52 aircraft fuselage. The SS2018 collab offered the 45L in red and black with the Supreme logo applied to the shell; both colorways sold out at release and traded at multiples on resale.
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.
