Why choose a clear cover for your Rimowa?

Rimowa suitcases are designed to be seen. The aluminum grooves of the Original, the clean polycarbonate shell of the Essential, the vintage aesthetic of the Classic — these are what you paid for. An opaque cover hides all of it.

A clear 0.6mm PVC cover gives you the best of both worlds: full scratch and scuff protection, with the iconic design fully visible. According to IATA baggage handling data, millions of bags are damaged annually at airports worldwide — the majority from conveyor belts and cargo hold stacking. A clear cover absorbs this damage so your Rimowa shell doesn't have to.

Additional benefits of a clear cover over opaque alternatives:

• Instant bag recognition at baggage claim — no more waiting and guessing
• No airport plastic wrap fees ($15–30 per trip at major airports)
• Adds under 200g — negligible weight impact
• Reusable for years — premium 0.6mm PVC outlasts multiple trips

Best clear covers by Rimowa collection

Rimowa Original (Aluminum)

The Original's aerospace-grade aluminum shell shows every scratch immediately. A clear custom-fit cover is essential — it conforms to the iconic parallel grooves without creating pressure points, keeping the polished surface pristine. Available for all Original sizes from Cabin to Trunk Plus.

→ Original Cabin cover · Original Check-In M · Original Check-In L · Original Trunk · Original Trunk Plus

Rimowa Essential (Polycarbonate)

The Essential's smooth polycarbonate shell is lightweight and flexible, but develops fine surface scratches over time — especially on darker colors. A clear cover keeps the shell pristine without adding significant weight to an already lightweight suitcase.

→ Essential Cabin cover · Essential Check-In M · Essential Check-In L · Essential Trunk · Essential Trunk Plus

Rimowa Classic (Aluminum)

The Classic's vintage aluminum aesthetic is even more susceptible to visible wear than the Original — its distinctive look depends on a pristine surface. A clear cover preserves the vintage finish without hiding the design that makes the Classic unique.

Rimowa Hybrid (Aluminum + Polycarbonate)

The Hybrid combines aluminum frame with polycarbonate panels — a unique construction that requires a cover designed specifically for its mixed-material profile. Generic covers don't account for the Hybrid's distinct geometry.

What to look for in a clear Rimowa cover

• Model-specific fit — not universal. Each Rimowa line and size has different dimensions and construction.
• Premium 0.6mm PVC — thick enough to absorb impact, stays clear over time. Thin generic covers yellow, crack in cold, and warp in cargo hold heat.
• YKK zipper — the global standard for zipper durability. Generic zippers jam and split after a few trips.
• Precision cutouts — for telescopic handle, wheels, TSA locks, and side handles. Misaligned cutouts force you to remove the cover every time you need access.
• ID card slot — for instant bag recognition at baggage claim.
• Free worldwide shipping — Fixmeuniva ships via DHL Express to the US (5–10 days), EU (5–7 days), and Australia (7–14 days) at no extra cost.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will a clear cover scratch my Rimowa?

No — provided the cover is clean when applied. The smooth 0.6mm PVC interior creates a barrier between the shell and external abrasives. Always ensure both the suitcase surface and the inside of the cover are free of grit before applying.

Does a clear cover fit all Rimowa models?

No. Each Fixmeuniva cover is made specifically for one Rimowa model and size. The Original Cabin (55 × 40 × 23 cm) and Essential Cabin (55 × 39 × 23 cm) have different dimensions and shell profiles — a cover for one will not fit the other correctly. Always match the cover to your exact model.

How much does a clear cover weigh?

A Fixmeuniva 0.6mm PVC cover adds under 200g — negligible for checked luggage weight limits. The cover does not add measurable bulk; your suitcase will still fit standard overhead bins and baggage gauges.

Can I lock the cover?

Yes. Fixmeuniva covers feature a YKK zipper pull designed to accept a small padlock or TSA-approved luggage lock. Locking the cover zipper conceals the suitcase zipper and adds a second barrier against tampering in transit.

How long does a clear Rimowa cover last?

A high-quality 0.6mm PVC cover is designed to last for years of regular travel. The cover absorbs the wear that would otherwise affect your suitcase shell. When the cover shows significant wear, you replace the cover — not the suitcase.

Do you ship to the US, EU, and Australia?

Yes. Fixmeuniva ships worldwide via DHL Express, free of charge. USA: 5–10 business days. EU: 5–7 business days. Australia: 7–14 business days. Each cover is handmade to order; allow approximately 3 business days for preparation.
