Rimowa Luggage: The Only Luggage You’ll Ever Need

If you’ve ever traveled, especially overseas, and boarded planes, trains, and Uber rides, then you know without a doubt how important it is to have the right kind of luggage-not only to keep everything you need safely in tow, but also to keep your trip as hassle free and easy as possible. The idea of broken zippers, bags that are too flimsy, or which are heavy and cumbersome, can easily diminish an otherwise smooth trip. Luggage should serve three main purposes: luggage should be durable so that you can rest easy knowing your clothing and other items are safe and can survive the knocks and bumps of turbulent rides and bag checks, it should be lightweight to avoid the pains of struggling with a bag that weighs more than the items you have in it, and of course, luggage should be stylishly simple so that it will always look good no matter where you are and how often your luggage is used. Luckily, there is a brand of luggage which has endured the test of all of these features, and has been doing so for more than a hundred years! Rimowa Luggage started making its wares in 1898 in Germany where it was produced in the Paul Morszeck luggage factory.

The leather and wood pieces that were produced at that time were successful enough to take the company into the 20th century when Paul Morszeck noted the need for a lightweight and durable design which eventually led to experiments with constructing luggage from lightweight aluminium used for aircrafts. By 1950, Pauls son Rick had produced the aluminium luggage with the grooves that became the prototype for the lines that continue to be top sellers today. Rimowa Luggage didn’t stop there but continued to forge the path of making luggage that superceded all other luggage styles with their creation of the first waterproof metal suitcases in 1976 that were originally designed for the transportation of cameras and photographic equipment and to withstand the harsh and unpredictable elements of rain, snow, cold and heat. Then, in the year 2000, Rimowa launched the first ever polycarbonate suitcases which are made of a material that is virtually indestructible and resistant to dents and dings. Rimowa luggage continues to produce luggage that is of the highest quality and standards, designed to last and protect.

The Rimowa brand has luggage to meet the demands of every traveler and suit every taste (no pun intended) and can be found in quality department stores and boutiques across the world. There are various lines and styles, along with varied price points but a particular favorite and high rated style is the Topas series of bags. These very light, and very sturdy bags are not only incredibly fashionable but are made of an aluminium-magnesium alloy which protect against temperature and water damage. They also feature TSA approved locks that are recognized worldwide for easy access for security checks, have smooth rolling wheels with a mechanism designed to make maneuvering the luggage a breeze, and also come with the Flex Divider system that allows for compression of clothing without causing wrinkling, crushing, or shifting of the contents.

Rimowa luggage is a brand that understands the needs of travelers and has devoted many decades to providing the kind of luggage which is designed to protect your cherished goods along the often unpredictable and hectic journeys of life. The Rimowa brand is inspired by new developments in technology and manufacturing which has made them a leader in the luggage industry with products that are modern and innovative. For many years Rimowa has been dedicated to manufacturing excellently crafted luggage made to outlast the others and stand the test of time. It’s no wonder then, that with standards and craftsmanship of such high caliber, the Rimowa brand stands to become almost as timeless as their luggage itself.
