Rick Owens and Rimowa have teamed up to create a limited edition cabin bag that epitomizes luxury travel. Rick Owens, known for his minimalist designs and as a carry-on traveler, now has a suitcase that perfectly matches his aesthetic sensibilities and the interiors of his homes in France and Italy.
The Rimowa x Rick Owens Original Cabin Bronze suitcase features a bronze exterior that is achieved through a meticulous manual application of pigments. This process ensures that no two cases are exactly alike, as each one develops its own unique patina over time. “I wanted the case to evoke the bronze finish of sculptures by artists like Alberto Giacometti, Constantin Brâncuși, and Richard Serra,” Owens says. The result is a weathered metal surface that exudes artistic flair and sophistication.

Inside, the cabin bag breaks new ground with full black leather lining-a first in Rimowa’s 125-year history. “It should feel like the touch of a black leather glove,” says Owens. He also developed matching black leather toiletry cases, explaining, “I also developed matching black leather toiletry cases, so the whole thing, it’s all perfectly matched.” This attention to detail ensures that every aspect of the travel experience is cohesive and refined.

Despite the luxury of the collection, Owens remains grounded. “I might sound lavish to some people, but it’s not like I’m ever gonna have a private jet. I can try and make sure that what I’m producing has some kind of integrity and non-disposability built into it,” he explains. This philosophy underscores his commitment to creating timeless pieces that transcend fleeting trends.
Each cabin bag comes with a hairy cowhide luggage tag produced by Rick Owens in Concordia, Italy, adding an extra touch of uniqueness. Limited to just 500 numbered pieces, the Rimowa x Rick Owens Original Cabin Bronze suitcase will retail for €2,900 EUR. It will be available from January 30th at Rick Owens boutiques and the Rimowa and Rick Owens online stores.
Hugues Bonnet-Masimbert, CEO of Rimowa, praises Owens’ innovative spirit: “His fearless approach inspired a collaboration that challenges convention at every step. We reimagined the limits of our manufacturing to deliver a piece that celebrates creativity and craft at their highest level. Rick Owens brings an unapologetic edge to everything he touches.”
