The exhibition is named 'Seit 1898' which in German translates to 'Since 1898.' When visiting, consumers will have the chance to view various Rimowa archival suitcase designs and other travel accessories. Additionally, the gallery will also showcase "advertisements, catalogs and other items that tell the story of the brand’s heritage, technologies and aesthetic identity." The first location to kickstart Rimowa's travel accessories exhibit is Tokyo, Japan, and individuals can witness it from June 9th until June 18th.
