For weight requirement and extra space, I'd go with the Essential in a Matte Blue, or the Gloss Green, since you make a great case for it. The Original in the Arctic color is so gorgeous though, and I'd be sad if they discontinued it and I didn't get it. There's a Rimowa store on the next block over from my apartment that I walk by on my way to campus every day, and it's very tempting. And, you have a gorgeous collection and great insights - thanks for sharing! Also, I heard more expensive suitcases are targeted for theft more overall, and for some airlines/tickets with stricter size requirements, a standard Cabin size will get checked if it's overpacked, increasing the risk for theft by airline workers - it's happened to me a handful of times. So it's a risk to factor in when using something fancy even if it's a carry-on. You're so right about the extra cost being about style, and, I'd add, for a lot of customers, also clout. But I love when my everyday things are aesthetic and special, including travel accessories. I love Cadence's travel containers for example. (They're a start-up from Brooklyn that make super aesthetic and magnetic travel containers with customizable magnetic labels). I wonder if you would try them and review them too? Thanks again for the content!
it definitely was an investment but my Rimowa carry on has been the best suitcase that I have ever owned. The look is iconic and the wheels and rest of the build quality is spot on.
The trunk is amazing, I travel with a toddler now and the extra space in trunk is perfect! Although I always need to weigh it before the airport because it’s easier to go over the weight limit with it due to the larger size.
their aluminium sliver carry ons are definitely worth it. but never buy their aluminum check ins. after few uses the luggage has so many dents and scratches they look like you got them from a garbage dump. just an eye sore. bothered me so much ended up selling them and replaced them with monos hybrid trunk and check ins. so much better and nicer looking after serveral uses. as for their non aluminum lines just waste of money. way overpriced and plain looking. not any better then other brands like away, july etc which are 1/4 the price of the nonaluminum rimowas.
For your green essential lite, how do you find using it without a side handle? And how stable is the single shaft telescopic handle? Thanks in advance and great overview video!
Rimowa creates crazy beautiful colors! I have the carry on in the mango orange and idk, Rimowa colors just spark so much joy. Honestly I like the marks on the bags. It sort of creates a story and a memory of a foreign location; it just shows you’re well traveled ! I wish they created the seasonal colors for the smaller size trunk. Have you had any problems with the trunk plus being too big?
I wish they would release more colors in the hybrid line. I much prefer it over the essential line. It’s the only thing stopping me from buying a check in luggage. The lavender is my favorite! I only bought it in the cabin size.
@@raphaellakoo thanks a lot for the reply. my concern is about the dimensions because trunk plus’s technically bigger than the airplanes limits. exp. 2 inches bigger. do you think as long as it is not havier than 23 kilos it wont be a problem?
Hi there, thank you so much for the informative video. The most up to date information I've seen. Would like to ask, between the Essential Check-in L vs Essential Trunk, which would you recommend?
LVMH owns Rimowa that’s why their prices are significantly increasing too just like their other brands. Great review on those luggages. 🩶 New friend here.
I think it's great that you pointed out the weight issue with the original model. Thanks for this lovely video!

Which model did you go with? I'm looking for something for ~4 day work trips

Yes trunk is my new favorite!

its a luxury product, there are other brands if you cant afford it
@@baa-e9vyou read their comment and made the determination that they can’t afford it? Oh you sweet child
@@MarkPharaoh cry about it
@@baa-e9v what a child 👶
@@MarkPharaoh meh
How much did you purchase the white essential trunk plus? ☺️
For your green essential lite, how do you find using it without a side handle? And how stable is the single shaft telescopic handle? Thanks in advance and great overview video!
I have the regular cabin so it does have the handle!
Thank you as I've been debating between the 5lbs (with no side handle) vs the 7lbs (with side handle and double stem telescopic top handle)
So glad you made this video! I hope Rimowa brings that rose quartz back!

I wish they created the seasonal colors for the smaller size trunk. Have you had any problems with the trunk plus being too big?
Totally agree! I’m new to trunk plus but I usually fill up any empty space with snacks/chips
Are those cabin size are perfectly fit in the cabin in most airlines specially in Emirates?
They are
I wish they would release more colors in the hybrid line. I much prefer it over the essential line. It’s the only thing stopping me from buying a check in luggage. The lavender is my favorite! I only bought it in the cabin size.
Ooh yes I’ve been eyeing on hybrid it’s different and chic! The lavender is truly one of the best colors 🥲
hi, did you ever had to pay for oversize luggage when flying overseas? for trunk PLUS.
@@edademirsakin never because mine is polycarbonate so it’s much lighter than the classic!
@@raphaellakoo thanks a lot for the reply. my concern is about the dimensions because trunk plus’s technically bigger than the airplanes limits. exp. 2 inches bigger. do you think as long as it is not havier than 23 kilos it wont be a problem?
@@edademirsakin oh I had no idea! I never had any issues with it
@@raphaellakoo thank you 🩵
Question: can you put the essential M inside the essential L?
@@ThePinkRock93 I only have the L so not sure!
@@raphaellakoo thank you for replying 😃 im gonna have to go to their store and try it myself 🤣
Have you had any problems checking in trunk plus with it being oversized? Trying to decide between trunk and trunk plus
No problems yet, you can fit quite a bit in the trunk plus!
Hi there, thank you so much for the informative video. The most up to date information I've seen.
Would like to ask, between the Essential Check-in L vs Essential Trunk, which would you recommend?
Thank you! I prefer the trunk!
How do you prevent scratches from check in luggage’s?
Fly in a private jet
baaaabe please tell me where your top is from! i love it- is it coperni? thank you xx
Thank you! It’s from Khaite😊
Really great in-depth review, glad you posted this! thanks
Is the white one trunk or trunk plus?
Trunk plus!
@@raphaellakoo Have you ever had going overweight issues while traveling? I'm deciding between the regular trunk and the plus. Any advice? TY!
@@Supergigi21 Not really! The difference in the size isn’t that big for trunk and trunk plus!
I want one, but I'm scared I'm going to end up like you. I'll end up getting more carry ons than I need lol.
Do you take video requests
Dang those are a lot of rimowa bruh…
Where is your top from?
Khaite!
@@raphaellakoo thank you ❤️
Can we go out so you can buy me a blurple Rimowa please.
took me a while to realized that this is a luggage review video, i was soooo distracted.:)
How do people afford so much stuff?!
People who love shopping need to get a trunk. Rimowa-if it brings you joy then it’s worth it😉
Isn’t it pronounced Rimova? W’s in Germans are pronounced like V’s in English
Wetter is Vetter, Auswahl = Ausvahl??? NO way. Rimowa is Rimowa.
Brilliant video
Love Rimowa!
Awesome video
It’s pronounced “rimoVa.” 😅
how the heck is she so beautiful.
