Rimowa and RTFKT have launched a new virtual luxury luggage collaboration for their existing partnership, sharing a limited edition suitcase and accompanying robot collectible. The release, which features 888 NFTs and suitcase pieces and 2222 space robot worker collectibles, will give consumers the opportunity to redeem a physical luggage case that boasts pixelated motifs and co-branding from Rimowa and RTFKT. Additionally, the event will allow attendees to mint four ‘Avatar Wearables,’ special assets made by RIMOWA and RTFKT.
"Working with RIMOWA has been a dream of ours since day one. [...] We really put all our passion into this project, while pushing boundaries in terms of the minting experience, 3D space and draw to raffle system. We can't wait for people to see the physical luggage, and to discover their Clone Wearables once they forge", said RTFKT Co-Founder Benoit Pagotto.
Starting October 27, consumers can visit the RIMOWA x RTFKT ‘Space Station’ in the Metaverse to mint their NFTs.
