The Case: Rimowa Original Check-In M Aluminium Suitcase ($1,320)
The Features: The 26-inch bag weighs in at just under 12 pounds. It features sturdy locks that make it feel like a safe, and smooth wheels that roll easily — not even a chip on the sidewalk can stop them. You can remove them and then just place them on top when you're buckled in, and secure your clothes with a slight compression feature. The flex divider on the inside is a unique design that really stood out to me.
Why I love It: You can't talk about luggage without bringing up Rimowa. The classic German brand is known for its timeless aluminum cases that look and feel like pure luxury. They go far beyond looks, as the quality is just unbeatable. Made to last, the design is one of the most lightweight in this size range, leaving you plenty of weight to pack up your bag. I truly just love this suitcase because of its sheer quality. The price tag is high, but it's an investment piece you can count on having in your arsenal for at least a decade. For me, I would rather invest than replace.
Who It's Good For: Rimowa is a great buy for the person who wants quality or is a frequent flyer. While I love the medium case for longer trips, the brand's popular carry-on is also an undeniable winner.
