IN THE ERA of ‘commuter-core,’ where function flirts with fashion, Rimowa’s new Original Bag is the sidekick every man on the move has been holding out for. The post-pandemic shuffle — between home, office, and wherever life takes you next — has not only rewritten the dress code but also reimagined our daily essentials. Rimowa, of course, is ahead of the curve.

Drawing inspiration from the iconic grooves of its legendary suitcases, Rimowa’s latest creation reinvents the crossbody, seamlessly blending practicality with refined materials. It’s the kind of bag that says, ‘I’m going places,’ without sacrificing style for substance.

Picture this: you’re racing to the office, your coat swaying in sync with your stride, sneakers or loafers hitting the pavement, while your crossbody keeps pace like it’s been training for this all along.

And the crossbody in question? Rimowa‘s newly launched Original Bag — a sleek, hard-sided aluminium beauty that not only turns heads but takes on the daily grind without missing a beat. Taking cues from the signature grooved aluminium suitcases the German luggage label has become known for, the Original Bag boasts a lightweight frame and rounded edges like its larger counterparts. But here, it becomes a steadfast companion of your day-to-day adventures, rather than those that span weeks and continents, by way of an elegant leather handle designed for effortless carrying — whether in hand or slung crossbody with the adjustable strap.

And then there are the details that truly sets it apart. Rimowa’s signature button mechanism offers a touch of luxury to your everyday routine — no fumbling with zippers here.

Inside, the Italian leather-lined interior adds a level of refinement, with slots perfectly cut for your essentials — credit cards, phone, and more. Whether in the sleek silver or sophisticated black version, the bag becomes an understated yet powerful statement, adapting into every corner of your busy life.

It’s safe to say, the Rimowa Original Bag doesn’t just ride the commuter-core trend — it defines it, giving the man about town a bag that’s as dynamic and versatile as their lives. From office meetings to city streets, this is the bag that will take you places in style. Now, that’s a commute worth taking.
