Rimowa has launched the new “Essential Sleeve Compact.” Built for daily urban commuting or 1 to 2-day trips, the new compact case is crafted to provide travelers with the freedom to determine its use. Remove its interior accordion and integrated compression straps to transform the lightweight business case into a compact carry-on suitcase making it the ideal companion of modern travelers, professionals, and beyond.
