Rimowa defines its brand identity not just through luggage, but through a display of engineering, durability and clean aesthetic. Its signature grooved aluminium is a statement in itself, a badge of a life well travelled. This philosophy is now perfectly distilled into the new Original Bag 16.
Catering to the evolving needs of the modern minimalist, this makes a fresh alternative to its larger predecessor. The Original Bag 19 was a formidable piece of everyday carry for the urban explorer. The new Original Bag 16, however, is a compact and fuss-free carryall, measuring just 23.5 cm by 16.3 cm.

The beauty of the Original Bag 16 lies in its intentionality. The grooved aluminium exterior and colour-matched leather interior are still present, but the smaller footprint gives them new prominence. Available in Black, Silver and Titanium, the style offers a sense of preparedness and solid protection.
Furthermore, its compartmentalised interior features a central zipper slot that separates two open pockets. In other words, it’s ideal for carrying items you need close at hand, such as your phone, wallet, keys and perhaps a pair of AirPods. A removable and adjustable shoulder strap also lets you carry it however you like.

Besides the Original Bag 16, Rimowa also expands its line-up of phone cases. Marrying the same iconic grooves with a shockproof TPU frame, new iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max cases offer both style and protection. The aluminium editions come in Black, Silver and Titanium, while a MagSafe-compatible polycarbonate case completes the collection.
