Even though the brand has been around for 127 years, it wasn’t until 2016, when it was acquired by LVMH, that it became more widely known in the U.S. Now it is a highly coveted piece of luggage and fashion — a 125th-anniversary Rimowa exhibition boasted the personal suitcases of Spike Lee, Martha Stewart, Billie Eilish and Patti Smith, among others. Earlier this year, Owens designed a suitcase for the brand with a bronzed exterior that required handmade pigment, making each suitcase unique. It is true that, unlike suitcases past, when I look at my Rimowas, they bring me memories rather than pure dread — even, yes, the BB bag.
