RIMOWA & Maison Margiela Present Bianchetto Travel Bag Collection

RIMOWA and Maison Margiela have teamed up on a set of travel bags that'll help make your airport outfit a spectacle.

Today, the partnership has announced special-edition makeovers of their respective Classic Cabin and 5AC XL suitcase and bag. Both items maintain their signature aesthetic intact, but there's cross-pollination as RIMOWA’s emblematic grooves (introduced to its aluminium suitcase in 1950) are applied from the Classic Cabin to the 5AC XL. Maison Margiela’s iconic overpainting technique, Bianchetto, appears across all pieces, enabling a unique wear process on the capsule.

RIMOWA and Maison Margiela have imagined their collaboration as a single travel set. Both Houses share a rigorous approach to design and understand that objects can gain meaning through time and use. A bespoke leather tag accompanies both designs, combining RIMOWA’s travel-inspired address tag with Maison Margiela’s key bell.

The RIMOWA x Maison Margiela Classic Cabin ($4,300) and the RIMOWA x Maison Margiela 5AC XL Bag ($4,900) will be available at select RIMOWA and Maison Margiela stores, as well as online via RIMOWA.com and MaisonMargiela.com starting on Thursday, Nov. 19.
