I love my Rimowas but as a solo travel I’m always scared that I’m going to get unwanted attention in certain countries so I have a Samsonite for certain places I travel (South America and most of Africa) and travel with Rimowa’s to Europe, Japan, a handful of African countries.
Love the Tumi extended trip. We travel a lot as well, maybe 50 flights a year and they are lightweight, easy to maneuver, easy to pack and reliable. Lots of color ways too. Significantly lighter than Rimowa. Highly recommend
I’ve been using Tumi for about 20 years for weekly travel. They are indestructible. I just bought the Rimowa Check-in Original in Emerald Green. Likely I will get the Essential Trunk to replace my well used and still fully operational two wheeled Tumi. Thanks for the tips! 😉
got the arctic blue carry one and the silver check in l, love the carry on, can’t close the check in most of the time tho😭 but I’m planning to get the seablue trunk😍
Ok... I never consider the Trunk version, but you got a point! Thanks for the review! If by any chance you get to a Rimowa store again, please record a video with the 2 sizes of the Never Still backpack please... No one made that yet, and I don't know whitch one to get.
definitely essential is better because of weight and usability.... have you found that the trunk gets rejected for being the "wrong" size, ever by an airline?
Only Rimowa aluminium case for carry on, polycarbonate for checked luggage. The aluminium cases don’t survive long term if used as checked luggage. After 17 years with Rimowa I bought a Carl Fredrick carry on, it’s much better made and half the price. I don’t believe the LVMH luggage is as good as it was before they took over.
The weight & closure is exactly why i always skipped on Rimowa, even the plastic ones are heavier than Samsonite, Tumi or Mandarina Duck.. I got a Rimowa cabin suitcase for my sister barely because she wanted a colorful suitcase😆
This is one of the best breakdowns of the various options with Rimowa. Thanks for the great review and insight.
You’re always welcome on my channel ❤️

I understand

Thank you 🥰 I will be trying them. You’re not the first to recommend
I purchased the gold titanium original cabin and I love it. ❣️❣️
That’s amazing 🧡🧡🧡

Thanks for idea! 🙌🏻⭐️🥰
Have you heard of FPM MILANO? Thanks for the review
Nope!
Its close to Rimowa but not that practical, too much weight and less volume
definitely essential is better because of weight and usability.... have you found that the trunk gets rejected for being the "wrong" size, ever by an airline?
Never not in my 6 years of traveling with it
I just got a essential trunk, any issue with zipper? How about the handle? The handle feels flimsy comparing to a hybrid check-in
Not for me. It’s def much flimsier than it’s been before
what are your opinions on the hybrid? :)
I don’t have one so I can’t review it
Hi! Do you have the essential trunk or essential trunk plus?
I’ve tried them all. But now my work horses are a few essential trunks 🫶🏻
What’s the color name of your two new essentials plastic suitcases? Thanks!
White ?

Thanks for sharing! That's impressive, 17 years. You must be an expert in them!
which one better for the polycarbonate: shiny one or matte one?
They say matte shoes scratches like crazy
I have a hybrid check-in matte black. And after 1 use, it looks so beat up, and it scratches like crazy
what about the Hybrid line? They are lighter than the aluminum and zipperless.
Great choice 👍🏻
I have both types too….😂😂😂😂 what u said is correct lol 🎉🎉🎉😂
Haha happy to hear that !

Makes sense!
Wow it really looks like the ones you bought 10+ years ago are way better quality than the ones they make today ? maybe they use a cheaper aluminum?
There are ongoing changes in production methods and materials, and these changes can affect the quality of goods 🙌🏻
I don't have long nails so I am ok with the clamps.
Good for you 😁😁
Africa is not everywhere?
