RIMOWA Launches Limited-Edition Collection, Hammerschlag
German luxury luggage brand RIMOWA, renowned for its innovation and timeless design, has once again captivated the fashion world with the launch of its latest limited-edition collection, Hammerschlag. Inspired by an archival piece and drawing from the brand's rich heritage, this collection pays homage to the past while embracing modern functionality.
At the heart of the Hammerschlag collection lies a distinctive surface treatment known as 'Hammerschlag,' a German term meaning 'hammer hit.' This unique texture adds a touch of sophistication and vintage charm to each piece, setting them apart from conventional luggage options.
The star of the collection is the RIMOWA Hand-Carry Case Hammerschlag, which makes a triumphant return alongside a new addition, the RIMOWA Cabin Hammerschlag. Crafted in Germany with meticulous attention to detail, these pieces feature innovative enhancements while retaining the classic appeal that RIMOWA is known for.
One of the standout features of the Hammerschlag collection is the reedition of the handle from an archival RIMOWA Hammered Hand Case dating back to 1966, now presented in a luxurious Cognac hue. This subtle nod to the brand's history adds a layer of authenticity to each piece.
Inside, both the RIMOWA Cabin Hammerschlag and the RIMOWA Hand-Carry Case Hammerschlag boast a premium nylon interior adorned with a curved leather-made zipped compartment on the divider. This meticulous attention to detail not only enhances the aesthetics but also provides practical functionality for the modern traveler.
To underscore the exclusivity of the Hammerschlag collection, each piece will be released in numbered editions, with the edition number inscribed on a leather patch inside. This limited run includes 1898 RIMOWA Cabin Hammerschlag suitcases, a tribute to the year the Maison was founded in Cologne, and 966 RIMOWA Hand-Carry Cases Hammerschlag.
To mark the launch of this exceptional collection, RIMOWA has collaborated with renowned German musician and composer Nils Frahm. The campaign features Frahm presenting a captivating performance of his track 'Hammers' at Berlin's iconic Funkhaus, adding a layer of artistic depth to the unveiling of the Hammerschlag collection.
The RIMOWA Cabin Hammerschlag is priced at 2350€, while the RIMOWA Hand-Carry Case Hammerschlag is priced at 1950€. Both pieces will be available at select RIMOWA stores worldwide and online at RIMOWA.com, offering discerning travelers the opportunity to own a piece of luxury luggage history.
In an age where innovation often overshadows tradition, RIMOWA's Hammerschlag collection serves as a reminder of the timeless elegance and craftsmanship that have defined the brand for over a century. With its seamless blend of heritage and modernity, this collection is sure to leave a lasting impression on travelers and fashion enthusiasts alike.
