Rimowa’s First Dubai Store Just Opened

You can now take your travel accessories game up

Famed for its signature aluminium cases, the insta-popular brand founded in 1898 in Germany (and loved by Bella Hadid and Rihanna to name a few) has been on a huge rise since luxury conglomerate LVMH acquired the brand in 2016 and appointed 26-year-old Alexandre Arnault as new co-CEO— LVMH’s largest investment since buying Loro Piana in 2013.

Ever since, Arnault brought his love for streetwear at the forefront of his strategy, launching a myriad of limited edition collaborations, literally turning Rimowa’s suitcases into one of the most coveted lifestyle status symbols.

To celebrate the opening of Rimowa’s first Dubai location, we rounded up our 5 favourite Rimowa collaborations.

While it might sound scary to wear a transparent clear bag, designer Virgil Abloh showed the whole world it’s totally on point with his now cult see-through adaptation.

The skate brand perfectly revamped the suitcase adding its signature logo in huge letters, showing once again that you can’t go wrong with logomania.
