A Rimowa suitcase is a long-term investment. With its premium price tag, it's only natural that you want to keep it in the best possible condition. Here are 5 practical tips to keep your Rimowa looking flawless for years to come.
1. Use a Luggage Cover Every Time You Travel
The most effective way to protect your Rimowa is by using a custom-fit clear luggage cover from Fixmeuniva. Our transparent covers shield your suitcase from scratches, stains, and bumps during transit — without hiding the iconic Rimowa design you love.
2. Avoid Placing Your Luggage on Dirty Floors
Get into the habit of placing your suitcase on a luggage rack or trolley rather than directly on airport or hotel floors. Rough and dirty surfaces can leave fine scratches on the body of your suitcase over time.
3. Clean It Regularly
Wipe down the surface of your suitcase with a damp microfiber cloth after every trip. For aluminum models, use a dedicated aluminum cleaner. For polycarbonate models (Essential series), mild soapy water works perfectly.
4. Check the Wheels and Handle
Inspect the wheels regularly and remove any dirt or debris that may have accumulated around them to ensure they roll smoothly. If the wheels show signs of wear, Rimowa offers official repair services at their service centers worldwide.
5. Store It Properly
When not in use, store your suitcase in a dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid stacking heavy objects on top of it to maintain its shape.
Bonus tip: Attach your Fixmeuniva luggage cover before checking in at the airport — no more paying for expensive plastic wrapping! Our covers are available for a wide range of Rimowa models including the Essential, Original, and Classic series.
