With this rich history, coupled with recent collaborations with contemporary cult brands such as Supreme, Dior, Off-White, Porsche, and Fendi, the storied house's wares have built a reputation as coveted items for the discerning, purposeful traveler.

This new volume spotlights a selection of the most iconic pieces from RIMOWA's archives via captivating, never-before-published photographs exclusively shot for this publication, enriched with illustrations and other vintage brand material.
