Guarantee

RIMOWA provides a lifetime guarantee for new suitcases purchased from July 25, 2022. RIMOWA’s lifetime guarantee covers all functional aspects of your RIMOWA suitcase for the life of your suitcase. RIMOWA’s lifetime guarantee does not apply to cosmetic wear and tear, misuse or abuse.
RIMOWA provides a 5-year guarantee for all suitcases purchased before July 25, 2022 when registered online. If you do not register online, a 2-year guarantee applies. This guarantee only applies if the usability of the product is considerably adversely affected by a material or manufacturing fault already present at the time of hand-over (defect). Our manufacturer’s guarantee does not apply, however, if the usability is restricted by abrasion, improper use, faulty operation, or externally occurring forces. Among other things, some product series are characterised by special leather fittings, particularly on the handle and at the corners of the product. Leather is a natural product that can change, discolour or fade, particularly under the influence of skin contact, light, and water; but also through the use of unsuitable cleaning agents, post-purchase impregnation, and textile dyes. Heat and dehydration can lead to the formation of cracks or tears in the leather. These occurrences are not covered by the guarantee.
To claim our guarantee, immediately inform a RIMOWA dealer or an authorised RIMOWA service centre of any defect within the guarantee period and hand over or send the product and the completed certificate of guarantee or original proof of purchase. You can find RIMOWA dealers and authorised service centres on our website at rimowa.com. RIMOWA will determine whether the defect is covered by the guarantee. If this is the case, RIMOWA will repair or replace the product. In this case, RIMOWA will also cover the costs incurred, including the return shipment. The sending costs are borne by the purchaser.
All RIMOWA products that do not belong to our regular suitcase product catalogue come with a 2-year guarantee incl. special edition suitcases.
All RE-CRAFTED products come with a 2-year manufacturer's guarantee.

Repair & Care

To ensure your RIMOWA remains in fine condition, please note the following reommendations: To remove dust or dirt, use a damp cloth or non-abrasive sponge with clean water. Stubborn or sticky residue can be safely removed using a simple alcohol, such as Isopropyl. We like to think of any deep dents or scratches as the unique patina of your case as these can not be removed. Embrace them – this is what makes your RIMOWA unique. To care and clean any leather components, use a mild cleaning agent and a soft cloth to gently remove any surface dirt. Occasionally, it’s a good idea to treat the leather with a conventional, neutrally coloured maintenance product. Avoid using any of the following, as they will damage your RIMOWA: scouring detergents, abrasive cloths or sponges, window cleaning agents, vinegar based cleaners and disinfectants, solvents, dilutions and aggressive alcohols, petroleum distillates or nail polish remover. Be gentle.

Should you need to have your RIMOWA repaired, our Client Care team will be happy to assist you. Please contact our team online contact@rimowa.com or visit your closest RIMOWA store for assistance.

Product Information

RIMOWA suitcases are made of either aluminium or polycarbonate. Aluminium – We think a lot about aluminium. For the past 80 years, it has helped define everything we do. We often say it has "persönlichkeit" – or personality – because it changes and evolves over time. The extremely durable, premium quality aluminium-magnesium alloy we use for all our suitcases is fully recyclable. With naturally occurring corrosion resistant qualities, we incorporate an additional high-end anodization layering procedure which makes our suitcases particularly robust. Undeniably timeless, the resilience of this remarkable metal is part of the reason we’ve dedicated so many years to nurturing its potential. Built for a lifetime of journeys, our aluminium suitcases are a work in progress. They might be made by our hands, but they're defined by those who travel with them. Hallmarked with the inevitable dents and scratches of time, every RIMOWA is a vehicle for storytelling. As individual as a fingerprint, each record on its surface is a memory, a story, and a physical representation of its owner’s character. Polycarbonate – A transparent, virtually unbreakable plastic, polycarbonate was first patented in 1953. An essential component used in the production of body armour and bulletproof glass, its chemical structure allows it to absorb an incredible amount of force. For RIMOWA, it means the outer shell of our extremely light, but highly durable polycarbonate cases can also react elastically under load and yield, so when the external pressure diminishes, they simply spring back to their original shape. As the first company to design and manufacture polycarbonate suitcases, we take our production standards very seriously. With two seals in place for safety and long-term quality from the German inspection organisation TÜV, and with thermal resistance proven in controlled temperatures of +125°C to -100°C, this magnificent material makes our luggage hard-wearing, robust and recyclable.
At RIMOWA, we only use the best materials. Our suitcases are strengthened with reinforced aluminium corners and secured frames. RIMOWA aluminium luggage is designed to take on the shape of impact, featuring the marks of a seasoned traveller.

 

We consider any scratches or dents that appear as the suitcase's patina. They are an evolving record of your travels, a history meant to be celebrated.
Each RIMOWA has its advantages, and each client is unique. But we have some recommendations for you. If you usually travel for short periods of time (1-2 days) and prefer to carry on your luggage when flying, the Cabin S might be what you're looking for. Need a little extra space? The Cabin or Cabin Plus are perfect carry-on sizes with a bit of extra space. Use our airline compatibility chart located on each product page to check if your desired Cabin case is compatible with your airline of preference. If you're looking for a suitcase for longer trips, we suggest our Check-In models. Check-In M and Check-In L are the perfect sizes for extended journeys. Planning an even longer trip or looking for a suitcase with a unique RIMOWA shape? Then the Trunk or Trunk Plus is the way to go. Inspired by the original RIMOWA trunks of the past, these are timeless classics engineered to offer travellers optimum capacity and long-lasting performance with an iconic shape that is undeniably distinctive.
RIMOWA products are sold in RIMOWA stores, at select wholesale partners, and online on our website. Find the store nearest to you here.

RIMOWA DISTINCT

Be advised that leather is a very fragile material and therefore requires special attention in its handling. Please follow the leather care instructions carefully:​

  • Avoid contact with water, oils, perfume or cosmetics.​​
  • If your item gets wet, remove any excess moisture without rubbing, dab with a soft cloth and let dry at room temperature.​​
  • To remove dust or dirt, use a soft brush or non-abrasive sponge dampened with clean water.​​
  • If necessary, please use a special leather cleaner available in leather goods stores. Colored care products are not recommended. Before applying any care product, please test it on an inconspicuous area.​

RIMOWA’s lifetime guarantee covers all functional aspects of the RIMOWA suitcases (incl. Distinct suitcases).​

Cosmetic wear and tear is not covered by RIMOWA’s lifetime guarantee and this also applies to the leather components.

New Lock

  2. Using a pointed instrument (e.g. a ballpoint), push in the button B until it engages.
  3. Adjust the dials to your combination.
  4. Move the lever back into position A. Button B will be released, and your new secret personal code is set.

RIMOWA × Tiffany & Co.

Our Rock Cut Cabin is under the lifetime guarantee, whereas the Jewelry Case and Jewerly Personal fall under our 2-year guarantee. The silver piece included in the Jewelry Case comes with no specific guarantee and all claims or repairs should be requested to Tiffany & Co. only.
All three products of the collaboration are made in Germany.
  • Take care not to scratch it against abrasive materials.
  • Remove dust or dirt from the aluminium shell with a cloth or non-abrasive sponge dampened with clean water.
  • Remove stubborn or sticky residue from the aluminium shell using a simple alcohol like Isopropyl alcohol.
Your Tiffany & Co. Sterling Silver plaque comes with a microfiber bag and is placed on the top tray of the Jewelry Case. Place your Tiffany & Co. Sterling Silver plaque in its dedicated leather pocket, located below the mirror.
Your Tiffany & Co. Sterling Silver plaque can be engraved at any Tiffany & Co. store.
As the Jewelry Personal is a jewelry box and not a handbag, there is no strap included, nor there is the possibility to attach one.

RIMOWA x GEWA

GEWA’s mechanically adjustable neck pad provides adjustability for different instrument sizes and makes the case ideally suited for violins sized at 4/4 (59cm) to 3/4 (52cm). The neck pad also provides effective protection and increased holding stability during transport and storage.
To adjust, simply unlock the neck pad by pushing the two side buttons and sliding it to the desired position.

 

 

 

 

Considering the case’s humidity is an important factor, the integrated hygrometer can be used to measure the case’s relative humidity.

 

In the event that it drops too low, use the provided humidifier to raise the humidity inside the case.

1. Open the lid and fill the humidifier with water until it emerges from evaporation vents.

2. Firmly close the lid to create a vacuum and initiate humidifying.

3. Turn the ring to uncover the ventilation holes and set your preferred humidity level.

To enjoy the beauty of your product for years to come, we recommend that you observe the following instructions:

 

ALUMINIUM

• Take care not to scratch it against abrasive materials.

• Remove dust or dirt from the aluminium shell with a cloth or non-abrasive sponge dampened with clean water.

• Remove stubborn or sticky residue from the aluminium shell using a simple alcohol like Isopropyl alcohol.

 

FABRICS

Twelve Bottle Case

The RIMOWA Twelve Bottle Case comes with a 2-year warranty.
Avoid scratching the RIMOWA Twelve Bottle Case against abrasive materials. To remove dust or dirt from the aluminium shell or interior, use a cloth dampened with clean water to clean gently. Any stubborn or sticky residue should be removed from the aluminium shell using a wipe pre-soaked in alcohol such as Isopropyl. Keep your leather handle in good condition by avoiding prolonged contact with materials that may transfer coloured pigments onto the leather, protecting it from humidity, and keeping it out of direct sources of heat or sunlight.
In case of condensation from the cold bottles, wipe the interior with a dry soft cloth and leave the bottle case open to allow it to dry.
Thanks to a clever system of a padded cushion with varied thickness that wedges bottle necks to keep them in place depending on the bottle’s size, the Twelve Bottle Case can hold any standard silhouette of wine bottles – from Bordeaux to Bourgogne – as well as wider champagne bottles.
Crafted with movement in mind, the RIMOWA Twelve Bottle Case includes a clever system of padded cushions ans security bar which will keep your bottles in place during transport or display. We recommend transportation modes wherein the suitcase and its precious contents can be handled with care. Therefore, hand-carrying during transport via car, train or private plane is preferrable. Commercial air travel is unfavorable as the valuable bottles content may be damaged or altered.

RIMOWA x RTFKT

NFT stands for Non-Fungible Token. An NFT, unlike a fungible item, such as fiat currency, can neither be replaced or interchanged because of its unique properties. NFTs are digital assets that can represent digital collectibles like art, music, or games, with a built-in certificate of authenticity, enabled by blockchain technology. The blockchain is a distributed, public, and transparent digital ledger, which makes cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, as well as NFTs, tradeable without the need of a third party mediator.

Cryptocurrency wallets are software used to communicate with blockchain networks to safely access, send, and receive crypto funds or NFTs.

Creating a wallet is necessary to purchase NFTs. There are a few important steps to make that happen:

 

- There are a number of different wallet options to choose from. There are mobile, desktop and hardware wallets. For example, MetaMask is a mobile and desktop wallet, Rainbow is a mobile wallet, while Ledger and Trezor are hardware wallets. Hardware wallets offer an additional layer of security as your private keys are stored offline on a physical device, and every transaction requires you to physically sign in the hardware wallet.

 

- Once you’ve created your wallet, you will be able to view a 12-24 word sequence— this is your seed/secret recovery phrase. Pro tip: write your seed phrase down on a piece of paper (do not take a screenshot or a picture) and store it somewhere safe. If you forget your wallet password, the only way to restore your wallet is with your seed/secret recovery phase. Never, under any circumstances, share this phrase with anyone. If someone asks for your phrase assume they are a bad actor.

 

- Once you have your wallet set up, you will need to purchase some Ether (ETH) in order to begin buying NFTs. You can purchase ETH, along with other cryptocurrencies, on exchanges like Gemini or Coinbase, and then transfer the purchased amount to your non-custodial wallet to buy NFTs. Note, some banks have restrictions on how much money you can deposit at a time into an exchange, and some exchanges have restrictions on how much money you can transfer out at a time. It is recommended that you buy any ETH you wish to use for NFT purchases at least 5 days before so that your ETH will clear in time and you can transfer it to your non-custodial wallet. Another method is to use the apps directly on the wallet which directs you to an integrated third-party exchange rail (i.e. MoonPay on MetaMask), which you can buy crypto using fiat/credit card directly into your wallet.

A digital form of currency in which transactions are verified and records are maintained by a decentralized system using cryptography, rather than a centralized authority.

Cryptocurrencies, like Ether, are available for sale and trading on digital asset exchanges. Some popular crypto exchanges include: FTX, Coinbase, Binance, Crypto.com, and Gemini.

Ether (ETH) is the main token housed on the Ethereum blockchain and the world's second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalisation. As with any other cryptocurrency, such as Bitcoin or Dogecoin, Ether can be used as payment directly to another person or entity without the need for a centralized intermediary, such as a bank.

Minting, or to mint, an NFT means converting digital data into crypto collections or digital assets that are recorded on the blockchain. The digital products or files will be stored in a distributed ledger or decentralized database and cannot be edited, modified, or deleted.

Forging refers to the process by which an NFT is used as a redemption mechanism to access a physical item. Influenced by gaming culture and different lore, RTFKT has branded and popularized the term "forging" to represent the transformation of digital fashion NFTs into their physical counterparts.

You will need to setup a cryptocurrency wallet in order to purchase and store your NFT.

One per wallet.

A live draw will be held on October 27th. To register, you will need to have a cryptocurrency wallet, with a minmum amount of 0.12 ETH. Additional details about how to register for the raffle will be shared across RTFKT and RIMOWA social platforms ahead of the raffle start date.

No, all sales are final.

You can trade your minted RIMOWA x RTFKT NFT at any time on secondary marketplaces like OpenSea; however, after the forging event, the original minted NFT will not carry any planned future utlity. During forging, RIMOWA x RTFKT NFT holders will be asked to burn their NFT's in exchange for a new RIMOWA X RTFKT NFT that represent access to the physical item.

During the forging event, RIMOWA x RTFKT NFT holders will be asked to provide a shipping address for the physical suitcase to be delivered.

The physical suitcase benefits from RIMOWA's lifetime guarantee.

The Forging Event will take place between May 29th - June 5th 2023. More details on rimowa.rtfkt.com.

- Remove stubborn or sticky residue from the aluminium shell using a simple alcohol like Isopropyl alcohol.

 

- If the leather gets dirty, or in case of superficial stains, wipe it with a soft and light-coloured cloth.

 

- Avoid prolonged contact with materials that may transfer colour pigments onto the leather.

 

- Keep away from humidity and protect it from direct sources of heat and sunlight as the colour of the leather may fade.
