- Beyond its glossy finish, the Holiday Hand-Carry Case embodies the excitement of upcoming adventures, capturing the essence of travel as both a dream and a destination.
The late 80s were a riot of neon and excess, a time when travel meant adventure, not just efficiency. It was in this heady era –1988, to be precise – that RIMOWA first unleashed ‘der Reisekoffer für junge Leute,’ or, in slightly less poetic English, “the suitcase for young people.” It was light, casual, and most notably, bright. A departure from the brand’s typically stoic metallic sheen, it signalled a youthful exuberance that made travel feel less like a necessity and more like a playground.
Now, decades later, RIMOWA has resurrected that spirit in the form of the Holiday Case, a limited-edition ode to that original flight of fancy. Available in three primary colours – blue, yellow, and red – the case is an unapologetic throwback to an era when airports were filled with Walkmans and the promise of far-flung adventures. White accents lend a vintage contrast, a nod to classic travel posters that once adorned agency windows, teasing glimpses of turquoise waters and golden sands.

While the aesthetic is rooted in nostalgia, the engineering is distinctly modern. The Holiday Case is made from lightweight polycarbonate but reinforced with the Original collection’s lock and frame – a blend of function and flair that RIMOWA has perfected over the years.
Beyond its glossy finish and Instagram-ready palette, the Holiday Hand-Carry Case taps into something deeper: the joy of anticipation. Whether you’re embarking on a new adventure or returning to well-trodden shores, the act of travel is as much about the dream as the destination. And if RIMOWA’s latest creation proves anything, it’s that some dreams are worth carrying with you – preferably in a suitcase this good-looking.
