Rimowa builds hard-shell luggage from its long-standing base in Cologne, founded there in 1898. Its signature is the grooved aluminium-magnesium shell used on the Original and Classic lines, sold alongside lighter polycarbonate Essential cases with telescopic handles, TSA locks and multiwheel systems. LVMH took a majority stake from founding-family owner Dieter Morszeck in a deal announced in 2016 and closed in January 2017, making Rimowa the group's first German maison. The range extends to Never Still leather bags and accessories, plus limited editions with Supreme, Off-White, Dior and Tiffany & Co.
