The new RIMOWA Trunk S – the smallest size in the trunk range. Designed with a distinctive shape inspired by the original trunks of the past, the RIMOWA Trunk in like no other. A timeless classic luxuriously engineered to offer optimum capacity and long-lasting performance, it is the unmistakable mark of a seasoned, purposeful traveller. Deeply rooted in the DNA of the brand, the trunk first got its start over a century ago. Founded by Paul Morszeck as a trunk manufactory in Cologne, Germany, RIMOWA’s early trunk designs were made of wood before adopting the now archetypal light-weight anodised aluminium shells and iconic grooves.

 

 

The new RIMOWA Trunk S offers the same convenient, spacious design and hard-wearing performance in a convenient smaller size without compromising on the distinctively unique shape that characterises the range. The three trunk sizes, Trunk S (65cm x 39cm x 34cm), Trunk (73cm x 44cm x 36.5cm) and Trunk Plus (80cm x 44cm x 36.5cm) will be available in three colours – classic silver, black and titanium.
