Rimowa Overview

Pro stress-test →

Rimowa is a luxury luggage manufacturer founded in 1898 in Cologne, Germany. The company's suitcases are widely known for their parallel aluminium grooves, which have become characteristic of the brand. In October 2016, LVMH purchased an 80% stake in Rimowa, which became the group's first German company.
