RIMOWA PRESENTS A NEW PRODUCT CATALOG FOR 2016 Honolulu, HI - Konnichiwa! With this Japanese greeting, RIMOWA President & CEO Dieter Morszeck opens the new catalogue, which was photographed in Japan. Through the catalog, RIMOWA embarked on a voyage of discovery, visiting Japanese places and people who reflect the unmistakable character of the country. Exciting portraits and reports offer an array of different insights into the fascinating nature of Japan whilst portraying the connection to the elegant RIMOWA suitcases. Above all, the new colors of the diverse RIMOWA range were eagerly awaited. Bright Guards Red now joins the kaleidoscopic Salsa Air range. The intense red shade is not only a veritable eye-catcher amidst the Japanese mist, but is also easy to recognize from afar on the luggage conveyor belt. From this year, the world s first polycarbonate case Salsa will be available in four matte varieties. Matte Carmona Red is a newcomer amongst the muted tones, and fits in well between Black, Blue and Bronze. The Limbo range welcomes two new colors: Crème White and Granite Brown offer beautiful harmony and bring the perfect finishing touch to the portfolio of Night Blue, Black and Carmona Red. With so many colors, choosing your favorite suitcase will be no easy feat. So it s all the better if a decision has already been made regarding size. After all, RIMOWA has an endless range of options to choose from here, too. The polycarbonate ranges are to be supplemented by an extra size, which has already proven popular with the aluminum cases. Depending on the range, cabin baggage size 53 has five to six liters more volume than the previous hand luggage case. In turn, production of the trolleys with only two wheels will cease, since thanks to its four high-quality wheels, the practical Multiwheel system offers effortless movement. The latest innovation is the RIMOWA Electronic Tag, which replaces the conventional paper tag with a digital data module that is integrated into the suitcase. This means that owners can check their bags in while still in the comfort of their homes and simply hand them over at the airport in a matter of seconds. The digital technology, which is directly integrated into the selected suitcase model, is available with the following RIMOWA ranges: Topas, Topas Titanium, Topas Stealth, Salsa, Salsa Deluxe, Bossa Nova and Limbo. The new colors added to the RIMOWA range: Salsa Matte Carmona Red Salsa Air Guards Red Limbo Creme White Limbo Granite Brown Limbo
