Rimowa Reviews

4.4

Rimowa earns polarized reviews: many praise exceptional build, silky-smooth wheels, and timeless, glamorous design, while others report cracked polycarbonate, sticky handles, zipper and lock failures, and contentious warranty outcomes—especially for seasonal colors like Petal. The brand is good when it works—durable, elegant, and easy to maneuver—but inconsistent quality control and repair/replacement frustrations temper enthusiasm.

  • THIS IS A REVIEW TO WARN BUYERS BEFORE CHOOSING A SEASONAL COLOR. I own several suitcases and decided to add the latest one to my collection—a seasonal pink color named "petal". In 2024, after a week of use, I sent my suitcase for a minor cosmetic repair to a service center and it was shipped back to me in worse condition. They asked me to ship it back again for repair, but then declared it unrepairable and offered a replacement without mentioning a deadline. I contacted them again in 2025 when a new seasonal pink color was released, as I was interested in that since my original suitcase was also a light pink. The company refused the replacement, stating the new color was seasonal, even though my original suitcase was also a seasonal edition. It feels unfair that if you buy a seasonal color, it may not be effectively covered by the lifetime warranty for an equivalent replacement, even when the retail cost is the same as standard models. The repair center damaged my suitcase and customer service is only offering standard colors as replacement options rather than an equivalent to the pink I originally purchased. I contacted again in 2026 and got a final decision that this color is still a seasonal color excluded for replacement. The second picture represents how I got it after being "repaired" (the bend area), the crack developed later after use.

  • I have been dreaming about this suit case and I ca't explain how happy I was when I got it and the best part of it to understand that you did not just throw away a lot of many and RIMOWA products worth of each cent you spent on it.

  • Once you use a Rimowa suitcase, you understand why they're so expensive and why they're so worth it. The wheels ride so smoothly on almost any floor and it's easy to maneuver. It was so nice to use after having used a regular suitcase my whole life, you immediately can tell the difference. It's really durable too and if the inside part gets ripped or something, you can take it to the store and they're either replace or fix it. Happened to us and they gave us a loan one while we waited on ours to get fixed. Truly a luxury item.

  • The Rimowa cabin suitcase is nothing short of perfect. The quality is exceptional, reflecting superb craftsmanship and durability !!! Its sleek design not only adds a touch of sophistication to my travel but also seamlessly complements my existing suitcase from Away. Rimowa has truly nailed it with this one, making it a top-notch choice for any traveler!
