Rimowa-Manufactum Edition Suitcase

Significant details from the fifties. The Rimowa-Manufactum Edition. Quite unmistakable.

This Manufactum-Rimowa edition is based on “Topas”, a product first launched by Rimowa as early as 1950. For our special edition, we had the beautiful details from its first decade reconstructed: handles made of cowhide, combination locks of pure metal (without the plastic coverings of today), polished corner reinforcements and a lining of black, Rimowa-branded viscose. The details are not only beautiful – they also save you trouble when it comes to recognizing your luggage at the conveyor belt, as they make the suitcase quite unique. Apart from that, the suitcases are especially remarkable because of the light and robust aluminium hide that has been the trademark of Rimowa and especially the “Topas” range for 70 years. Since 1957, the material of choice is thick airplane aluminium, strengthened even more by the typical Rimowa grooves. The interior is fitted with lashing straps and two small bags closed with an elastic band for stashing small objects at the sides of the base. There is a net zippered at two sides and tightened across a bent plastic tube that keeps the clothes stored in the lid in place and can also take small pieces of clothing. You get a five-year warranty. Possible repairs can still be done after decades.
