Rimowa is a luxury German luggage brand that makes quality aluminium suitcases. These are coveted pieces that you might have often found celebrities like Rihanna, Lewis Hamilton, Jacob Elordi and more sporting. The price isn’t even easily available online, but they start somewhere around INR 1,00,000 a piece which did surprise us. The brand was founded in 1898 and has good reason to remain in business since they offer suitcases that are not only iconic and a status symbol but also super sturdy, lasting you a lifetime while also being lightweight. What makes them so special is that most of their products are made by hand and require 90 steps to build, around 200 parts, 33 technicians, and about 90 minutes per product. So of course, this kind of dedication costs.

Now while you save up for your first Rimowa, we suggest you try these dupes that look like the real thing, are made of aluminium, are sturdy enough to last you more than a couple of flights, and will cost you a fraction of the price.

This Medium Luggage Trolley by The Clownfish is a 47L suitcase with a similar design to Rimowa's luggage. It's made of polycarbonate, a type of plastic, but it is quite durable and comes with a one-year warranty. For easy organisation, the two main compartments have a zipper closure along with a dedicated dry bag and mesh compartment. It's also scratch resistant, water-resistant and features two TSA locks for safety.

Available in three different sizes — 21", 25", and 27" — and five different colours, ICASE's Club Class luggage range is another dupe for Rimowa. It's lightweight and strong, made of high-quality PC material with a grain finish, which makes it scratch-resistant. The smooth wheels allow you to carry it anywhere easily. It features two TSA locks and also comes with a dust-bag to keep it clean when stored.

Now, if you're looking for the durability of aluminium and a well-known brand name, this one from Samsonite is for you. Since it's made from aluminium, it's on the pricier side (but still costs half of Rimowa). While it only comes in this graphite colour, you can choose from three sizes — 55cm, 69cm, and 76cm. It's marketed as a limited edition piece, which has been released in collaboration with Boss, explaining its price tag yet again.

Titanium Luggage By Tommy Hilfiger

When you open the bag, on one side, you've got a flexible divider with zippers for organisation, and on the other side, you have garment straps to hold your clothes in place. The bag features two TSA locks and smooth wheels, making it safe and easy to carry. 

Aluminium Trolly By Perquisite
