Our Story
Redefining travel since 1898
From vintage wood to classic aluminium to high-tech polycarbonate: at RIMOWA, we've always looked for ways to make travel better. We've seen a lot of change across three centuries but our philosophy has always stayed the same: expert travellers need expert travel solutions.
1898
It all began with our Koffermanufaktur in Cologne
Our small family-run business opens its doors. Our very first cases are crafted in hardwearing wood, with an emphasis on lightweight construction and superior stability.
1920s
The very first aluminium trunk is created by our founder's son, Richard Morszeck. Abbreviating his name gives us our enduring name RIMOWA.
1950
Our iconic groove design is born
Inspired by the golden age of aviation, we add distinctive grooves to our aluminum suitcases. They become a symbol for the international jet set and pay homage to the world’s first all-metal aircraft. (Made in Canada, of course.)
1978
We develop waterproof cases to protect pro equipment
Our design guards the sensitive equipment of film crews, photographers and reporters from tropical humidity and arctic cold.
