Ever since it released the Personal crossbody—first seen in a collaboration with Dior Men for the Summer 2020 season—RIMOWA has been steadily expanding into the lifestyle bags and accessories sphere. The brand launched the canvas-focused Never Still series shortly after, the nylon Signature collection in 2023, reimagined its aluminium suitcase as its first aluminium handbag last year, and most recently released an aluminium backpack. Just in case it isn't already apparent, RIMOWA isn't only about luxury travel.

Now, the brand is doubling down on the category with its first-ever series of leather bags. The RIMOWA Groove collection is named after the iconic design that decorates almost the entirety of its offerings, but unlike the standard unidirectional motif, the grooves on the Groove collection are a combination of both the horizontal and vertical. They're also bolder and proportionally more oversized for a playful update the likes of which we haven't seen from the brand before.

The bags in the Groove collection are made in Italy using supple and resilient premium leather to craft three distinct, structured silhouettes. The largest is in the collection is the Groove Shopping Bag that has a handle drop perfectly designed to be carried as a top-handle or on the shoulder, while the Groove Sliding Hobo Bag is more relaxed in structure and fitted with an adjustable strap. Both bags come with a removable pouch and have been cleverly designed to integrate with any RIMOWA suitcase—the notches on the Groove Shopping Bag and the back slot on the Groove Sliding Hobo Bag allow the telescopic handle to slide in easily. The final silhouette in the collection, the Groove Cross-Body Bag is shaped almost like a shrunken suitcase with a top handle that's reminiscent of the RIMOWA Classic line's. The style is available in small and large formats, with both featuring a wide zipped opening that extends all the way to the sides of the bag.

For a start, all bags in the Groove collection are permanently available in black. The Groove Cross-Body Bags, however, are available in a range of colours. The large and small formats are also available in a seasonal silver colour, while only the latter can be found in additional seasonal colours of pink, burgundy, and green.

But how much are they priced at, you ask? The Groove Shopping Bag comes in at SGD2,870, the Groove Sliding Hobo Bag is priced at SGD2,700, the large Groove Cross-Body Bag goes for SGD2,360, and the small Groove Cross-Body Bag will set you back SGD1,600. The best thing is, like every RIMOWA piece that's not a wheeled suitcase, every design in the Groove collection also comes with a two-year guarantee.

The RIMOWA Groove collection is now available in RIMOWA boutiques and online.
