TL;DR: Choosing the right Rimowa luggage cover requires matching the cover to your exact model AND size — not just the line. The Original Cabin and Essential Cabin have different dimensions. The Hybrid Check-In L and Original Check-In L have different dimensions. This guide gives you the complete size table and explains what to look for in each collection.

Why model and size both matter
Rimowa produces four main suitcase lines — Original, Essential, Classic, and Hybrid — each with multiple sizes. A cover made for the Original Cabin will not fit the Essential Cabin, even though both are nominally "cabin size." The Original Cabin measures 55 × 40 × 23 cm; the Essential Cabin measures 55 × 39 × 23 cm. That 1cm difference in width, combined with different shell profiles and groove geometries, means the covers are not interchangeable.
Always match your cover to:
- The exact Rimowa line (Original, Essential, Classic, or Hybrid)
- The exact size (Cabin, Check-In M, Check-In L, Trunk, or Trunk Plus)
Rimowa Original covers by size
The Original is Rimowa's aluminum line — the iconic grooved suitcase. Its aerospace-grade aluminum shell shows every scratch immediately, making protection especially important. Covers for the Original must be flexible enough to conform to the deep groove profile without creating pressure points.
| Original Model | Dimensions (cm) | Volume | Cover |
|---|---|---|---|
| Original Cabin | 55 × 40 × 23 | 35 L | Shop Cover |
| Original Check-In M | 69 × 46 × 27 | 72 L | Shop Cover |
| Original Check-In L | 79 × 51 × 29 | 97 L | Shop Cover |
| Original Trunk | 73 × 44 × 36.5 | 90 L | Shop Cover |
| Original Trunk Plus | 80 × 44 × 37 | 105 L | Shop Cover |
Rimowa Essential covers by size
The Essential is Rimowa's polycarbonate line — lighter and more affordable than the Original. The smooth polycarbonate shell develops fine surface scratches over time, especially on darker colors. Essential covers have slightly different dimensions from Original covers, even at the same nominal size.
| Essential Model | Dimensions (cm) | Volume | Cover |
|---|---|---|---|
| Essential Cabin | 55 × 39 × 23 | 36 L | Shop Cover |
| Essential Check-In M | 67 × 43 × 24 | 60 L | Shop Cover |
| Essential Check-In L | 77 × 50 × 26.5 | 85 L | Shop Cover |
| Essential Trunk | 73 × 41 × 36.5 | 89 L | Shop Cover |
| Essential Trunk Plus | 80 × 41 × 37 | 101 L | Shop Cover |
Rimowa Classic covers by size
The Classic is Rimowa's vintage aluminum line — similar to the Original but with a distinct aesthetic and slightly different dimensions. The Classic's vintage finish is particularly sensitive to visible wear, making protection important for owners who want to preserve the original look.
| Classic Model | Dimensions (cm) | Volume | Cover |
|---|---|---|---|
| Classic Cabin | 55 × 40 × 23 | 36 L | Shop Cover |
| Classic Check-In L | 79 × 52 × 28 | 84 L | Shop Cover |
Rimowa Hybrid covers by size
The Hybrid combines an aluminum frame with polycarbonate panels — a unique construction that requires a cover designed for its specific geometry. The aluminum-polycarbonate transitions create a different edge profile from the all-aluminum or all-polycarbonate lines.
| Hybrid Model | Dimensions (cm) | Volume | Cover |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hybrid Cabin | 55 × 40 × 23 | 37 L | Shop Cover |
| Hybrid Check-In L | 78 × 51 × 27 | 84 L | Shop Cover |

How to measure your Rimowa suitcase
If you're unsure of your exact model, measure your suitcase in three dimensions: height × width × depth in centimeters, measured at the widest points including any protruding elements. Compare your measurements to the table above.
Key tips:
- Measure with the wheels included in the height measurement
- Measure at the widest point of each dimension, not the interior
- If your measurements fall between two sizes, check the interior label of your suitcase for the official model designation
- The model name is also printed on the Rimowa warranty card and original packaging

Always order the cover that matches your exact line and size.

For the Essential line: Trunk is 73 × 41 × 36.5 cm (89L) and Trunk Plus is 80 × 41 × 37 cm (101L). These are different sizes requiring different covers.
