We’ve always been fans of RIMOWA. Our suitcases have travelled everywhere with us, picking up the scratches, dents and memories that come with actually using them. The same goes for Maison Margiela, from the iconic Tabi boots to the GATs. So this collaboration feels like one of those pairings that just makes sense.
RIMOWA and Maison Margiela have teamed up on a limited edition travel collection featuring a reworked Classic Cabin suitcase and 5AC XL bag. Both brands have always been interested in the beauty of things that age, and this collection leans into that idea by making wear and time part of the design.
RIMOWA’s signature grooves, first introduced on its aluminium suitcases in 1950, now extend onto the 5AC XL, while Maison Margiela’s Bianchetto technique is hand painted across both pieces. The finish is designed to crack and change with use, meaning each set will develop its own character over time.
The Classic Cabin features a white interior inspired by Maison Margiela’s approach to garment construction, with visible stitching, overlocked edges and leather details that create an inside out feel. It keeps RIMOWA’s signature Multiwheel system, stage free telescopic handle and TSA approved locks, finished with an anodised aluminium logo badge featuring Maison Margiela’s four white stitches.
The 5AC XL brings RIMOWA’s grooves into a new form, with the pattern sculpted directly into the leather through a high frequency moulding process. A removable crossbody strap and leather loops allow the bag to sit on top of the Classic Cabin, creating a matching travel set.
Directed and photographed by Dexter Lander, the campaign takes the Bianchetto concept even further, covering a Haussmann apartment in white paint and leaving behind the silhouettes of the two pieces.
The Maison Margiela x RIMOWA collection launches November 19, 2026. The Classic Cabin retails for $4,300 and the 5AC XL Bag for $4,900, available at select RIMOWA and Maison Margiela stores, as well as online.
