Rimowa partners with Aimé Leon Dore on a collection that scores top points in terms of both style and function. This exclusive release combines Rimowa’s timeless design with Teddy Santis’ (the New York-based label’s founder and creative director) signature touch of romanticism. Together, the duo launch the all-new Rimowa x Aimé Leon Dore capsule that features the Classic Chest and the Classic Cabin.
Both made-in-Germany pieces incorporate style codes from the iconic Classic line, with the aluminium exterior ensuring durability. Going beyond heritage, each also embodies a modern twist in the form of Aimé Leon Dore’s signature green hue. Simultaneously channelling voyages of the golden age, a unique co-branded logo badge completes the design.
Gold-plated hardware adds sophisticated elegance, while brown cognac leather handles and straps provide a comfortable carrying experience. Open both cases and you’ll find a lovely surprise with the bespoke nylon lining featuring an ancient Greek stamp pattern. This subtle detail speaks to the brand’s identity, and it’s also one of the signature artworks by Aimé Leon Dore.

Measuring 55 cm by 40 cm, the Rimowa x Aimé Leon Dore Classic Cabin (SGD3710) makes a handsome travel companion. But the pièce de résistance is surely the Rimowa x Aimé Leon Dore Classic Chest. The vintage travel trunk reimagined as a striking centrepiece promises to spark conversations in any living space. Measuring 74.5 cm wide and 34.5 cm high, it comes in at SGD5400.
If you want to own a piece of modern travel history, then mark your calendars for 31 May 2024. That’s when this limited-edition pair from Rimowa and Aimé Leon Dore drops exclusively into Rimowa’s Mandarin Gallery store.
