Streetwear label OFF-White has partnered with luxury travel brand Rimowa for a transparent carry-on case.

The collaboration celebrates the brand’s 120 years in luxury travel and is also the first time the two brands are teaming up together. “The simplicity and ease of teaming up with a friend to update a product is always an exciting project. Rimowa was one of the first collaborations I started working on, back in 2014.

Alexandre and I came up with a super cool and functional product,” said Virgil Abloh. “As a supporter of the brand and someone who uses the luggage, I was keen to what I would want to modify with our collaboration. I strongly feel that what you will see in collaboration is the result of this.”

The transparent polycarbonate carry-on case comes with telescopic handles with OFF-WHITE branding and banks on irony by emphasizing on the overarching concept of the special edition case. “A brazen, yet playful response to today’s obsessive talk of privacy culture of surveillance and anonymity, the transparent design keenly hones in on the now and the next,” the press release states.

The suitcase premiered on June 20th during OFF-WHITE’s men fashion show in Paris and is available for purchase across RIMOWA & Off-White stores, on rimowa.com (Europe), at select wholesale partners, and in a pop-up store on WeChat.
