"RIMOWA and Off-White partner for one of the biggest projects of the year, with the two brands joining to drop a pair of transparent polycarbonate luggage pieces. Bernard Arnault and Virgil Abloh represent brands that are synonymous with the fusion of traditional and contemporary concepts. RIMOWA is a 120-year-old brand and its work with Off-White adds a sense of modernity to it. The collaborative luggage collection centers around a range of technically progressive elements including upgraded handles, wheels, and interior elements.
The signature luggage pieces re-imagine a sleeker design and incorporate a new matte and glossy look detailed with a brand new logo. The collection has co-branding accents along with 'MISCELLANEOUS' emblazoned dividers and an amenity kit to match. The RIMOWA and Off-White™ collaborative collection will make its official debut in Paris on June 20th and will hit the market at select RIMOWA and Off-White™ locations beginning June 25th.
