Rimowa feels like a lowley flex until you get to the airport and realize every other person has one.

Nice set I wouldn't mind getting some eventually. I'm willing to bet these will last you a very long time.

Yes I have over 15 pieces of it and still adding on and odd people think it is quite common at airports as I hardly see much traveling the world and I do look to see other peoples luggage. I see tons of FAKE Cjinese Knock off Rimowa tho..

Every single Rimowa Flagship Store should have every single thing available to sell through out the world... Go to any flagship store and you can buy until you deplete your funds..:)

This is the Rimowa Flagship Sore in Dubai with my new piece of Rimowa . I paid extra for those awesome stickers as well as the belt. Was at the mall to buy a watch only and came back to the states with this too..:)

I hit the Munich store just as a busload of mainland Chinese tourists were wrapping up their shopping spree. It was incredible how fast that store had been cleaned out. No Carryon sized cases in any lines. No Topas in any size at all. The staff said it only takes half a day to get more stock in but that it happens 2-3 times a week!

Well yes that would explain that and let me tell you, the Chinese are the biggest buyers of this luggage along with Japanese and Koreans. You also can buy online at Rimowa.com if you like too. Before it was taken over by LV last year I bought quite a few of my pieces through altmann luggage . You pretty much now have to buy it directly through Rimowa now..

Yep. This one is old and well used. Dents hammered out. Wheels replaced. :). Still going.

My carry on Topas cases look pretty good though even though they get used quite often.
