Rimowa and Maison Margiela Apply Bianchetto to a Suitcase and 5AC Bag

Rimowa makes the anodised aluminium suitcase in Cologne. Its white interior has visible stitching, and four slanted white stitches cross the aluminium badge. On the leather bag, the designers used a high-frequency process to form grooves that line up with the ridges on the suitcase. Removable loops secure the bag to the case.

The white paint is designed to crack and flake with use. Photographer and director Dexter Lander shot the campaign in a Parisian-style apartment. Both pieces will be available through selected Rimowa and Maison Margiela stores and the brands’ websites, according to Rimowa’s announcement.
