Maison Margiela and Rimowa want you to travel the world with style.
Big news for the frequent travelers, JFK/LGA/EWR - covered.
A new, limited-edition Bianchetto travel collection was unveiled today, part of a Maison Margiela and Rimowa collaboration, one that turns the journey into a more complete one, a stylish one as well. The limited edition, ranging from the Classic Cabin Suitcase to the 5AC XL bag, is bringing to life a collab that we didn’t know how much we needed, as it reworks the idea of traveling with comfort, in a true Margiela way, reconstructing the whole thing.
The house’s now-infamous, delicate Bianchetto technique is being applied here across multiple pieces. Over time, with each mile gained under your frequent traveler program, it will crack a little more and more, giving it that crispy, lived-in aesthetic, which further reflects Rimowa’s belief as well - and how the luggage by itself is lived in, yet still here, “carry-on’ing” through it… The four stitches are evident, and so are the Margiela codes and styles… we know some lines will be made soon…
Don't miss the next one.
