Rimowa’s Original Pilot Silver is Back and Better Than Ever
They say it's not the destination but the journey that's the most important. And the journey is surely made better with Rimowa's classic luggage style.
Making its debut in 1994, Rimowa’s signature Original Pilot gained popularity when pilots could fit the piece snugly between the two seats in a cockpit. The top-open mechanism also made retrieving key documents a breeze.
Since then, Rimowa has been tweaking and perfecting the details of the Original Pilot, and along the way, it picked up more fans. DJs used it as a convenient makeshift case for their records and sound equipment, and businessmen quickly adopted them for corporate travel. Almost 30 years on, the German brand has continued to strive for excellence in its luggage – updating the iconic style this year.
The Original Pilot Silver retains its distinctive shape and size and sees the use of the Multiwheel system to ensure smooth travels. Grooved aluminium wraps the exterior of the luggage, reminiscent of the metallic elements from the early days of aviation.
On the inside, the luggage can contain a laptop of up to 16 inches. Otherwise, the compartments are adjustable – customisable for different needs. Whether it’s a toolbox or a case for important documents that you need, the Original Pilot Silver is transformable, eliminating the hassles of transporting vital items during travel.
With the relaunch of the luggage, Rimowa has also introduced a set of five vintage-style stickers. With the retro feel amped up by the strong, graphic stickers, the Original Pilot Silver stands as an essential for easy travels.
