Rimowa Classic Titanium Further Dilutes the meaning of Classic.

For the uninitiated, Rimowa's classic collection is intended to be the throwback, evergreen, permanent and never-changing collection of luggage pieces for the traditionalist. However, last year under the stewardship of LVMH they decided to eschew this by releasing black aluminium versions.  They have now demonstrated an entirely schizophrenic definition of classic, by releasing the model in titanium.

It is worth mentioning on the record that at no point prior to the mid 2010's was Rimowa's aluminium ever coloured.  Further, the classic range never was.  Yet such pedestrian concerns over convention fall by the wayside when considerations such as the profit motive take precedence.

So here we have it.  The "classic" Rimowa luggage range, in titanium, a colour which is neither classic, nor enduring.  Available now from £1100 for cabin luggage.
