RIMOWA, within its archives, lies a testament to its unwavering pursuit of excellence, as well as honoring its heritage, the German Maison is pleased to introduce ‘Hammerschlag’, a new collection inspired by an iconic archival design from the brand’s rich history.
The new collection draws inspiration from the past, featuring a distinctive surface referred to as ‘Hammerschlag’, a German term meaning ‘hammer hit’. Beyond its ability to capture and reflect light, the textured aluminum was beloved for its gleaming polished surface, a stark contrast to the matte finishes prevalent in the early industry. Now, the archival piece gets a timely comeback with the RIMOWA Hand-Carry Case Hammerschlag and the RIMOWA Cabin Hammerschlag.
Now with new functionalities, the limited-edition collection maintains a vintage appeal, featuring a re-edition of an archival 1966 RIMOWA Hammered Hand Case’s handle in a Cognac hue. Inside, the RIMOWA Cabin Hammerschlag and the RIMOWA Hand-Carry Case Hammerschlag, feature a one-of-a-kind premium nylon interior adorned with a curved leather-made zipped compartment on its divider, with two hooks that further emphasize its archival inspiration.
The new releases come with a specially designed curved Luggage Tag that mimics the shape of leather elements within its interior. The Cognac-colored Luggage Tag is also emblazoned with a newly designed 1898 stamp that nods to the Maison’s founding in Cologne. The limited-edition collection is released in numbered pieces inscribed on a leather patch inside. The collection is made of 1898 RIMOWA Cabin Hammerschlag suitcases and 966 RIMOWA Hand-Carry Cases Hammerschlag.
The RIMOWA Cabin Hammerschlag and RIMOWA Hand-Carry Case Hammerschlag are available at selected RIMOWA stores worldwide and online at RIMOWA.com.
