RIMOWA has expanded its world-renowned aluminium collection with the launch of the Original Backpack in Silver, a piece that brings the Maison’s signature craftsmanship from the runway to daily life. Crafted in Cologne with the same precision and durability that defined its iconic grooved suitcases, this backpack is designed for the modern traveller who values both form and function.
The sleek aluminium shell pays tribute to the Original suitcase, with rounded corners and a new latch-lock closure delivering a refined metal finish and smooth operation. Inside, thoughtful organisation takes centre stage. A removable pouch and divider with functional pockets create flexibility, while a dedicated compartment holds a 16” laptop securely. Grey nylon lining, leather detailing, and monogrammed aluminium hardware complete the elevated interior.
Practicality has not been overlooked. Adjustable padded straps and breathable back padding ensure comfort for long commutes, while a hidden phone pocket and luggage strap, discreetly woven with RIMOWA’s Cologne coordinates, add effortless utility. Whether transitioning from the office to international travel, the Original Backpack adapts seamlessly.
Available from September 17, the RIMOWA Original Backpack in Silver (AUD $3,100) is offered at RIMOWA boutiques worldwide and online at rimowa.com. With this launch, the Maison has redefined what a backpack can be—an object of utility transformed into an icon of modern mobility.
