Rimowa Transforms Its Iconic Aluminum Suitcase into a Stylish Everyday Sling Bag
Why let a Rimowa sit idle when it can make a statement every day?
Rimowa crafts some of the world’s finest suitcases. Their signature grooved aluminum exteriors are not only built to last but are also stunningly beautiful, gaining character with every well-earned scratch and dent.

Let’s face it: unless you’re a pilot, flight attendant, or a true frequent flyer, your suitcase likely spends most of its time in standby mode. For most Rimowa owners, that means their luggage rarely takes flight, except for the occasional journey.
The good news is that fans of the iconic aluminum design can now make it part of their everyday routine with Rimowa’s new Original Cross-Body Bag—perfectly crafted to carry your essentials (and more).
Rimowa Original Cross-Body Bag
As part of Rimowa’s Original collection, the new bag features the same iconic grooved aluminum as its classic carry-on, along with the signature metal rivets and logo badge that fans know and love.
However, it forges its own path with a few elevated touches that add an element of everyday luxury. Inside, you’ll find a full-grain leather lining, complete with two open compartments, a zippered pocket, and four card slots for convenient organization.
The leather detailing extends to the handle, which is reinforced with an aluminum frame. However, the bag is most convenient as a crossbody sling, featuring a nylon webbed strap adorned with a subtle Easter egg: the coordinates of Cologne, Germany, where it’s made.
Overall, the Original Cross-Body Bag measures 7.4 by 10.3 by 3.5 inches and weighs 2.4 pounds, with a carry capacity of half a gallon—perfectly spacious for your phone, charging cables, and other small essentials that don’t fit comfortably in a pant pocket.
Price and availability
The Original Cross-Body Bag is available in black and silver, priced at $2,125—a significant premium over the Cabin carry-on, which starts at $1,430. Available now.
