Despite its sleek, minimal exterior – the effect of which is wholly contemporary – heritage German luggage house Rimowa’s new ‘Distinct’ line actuallywhich prizes continuous innovation and an ongoing evolution of its signature pieces. As such, each ‘Distinct’ case is crafted using a precise leather-wrapping process, whereby the fine sheets of the material are moulded onto a solid aluminium case to retain Rimowa’s recognisable ridges (inspired by the grooves on the world’s first all-metal aircraft). Protective anodised aluminium bumpers on each corner are designed to safeguard your case and belongings while in transit, while a final flourish comes in the colour-matched leather luggage tag, which can be customised with your initials, offering a symbolic link to Rimowa’s beginnings during the golden age of travel.
