Rimowa, The Original Cross-Body Bag

Did you expect to see a luxury travel gift guide without mentioning Rimowa? For more than a century, the German manufacturer has finessed the balance between luxury and practicality – and while its suitcases have made for ideal presents ever since, this year, the brand released its first handbag, the Original Bag. The design mimics the rest of the Original collection – albeit, just down-sized. This tiny version of Rimowa’s signature lightweight aluminum suitcase can now be carried with its top handle or worn as a cross-body bag, and on the side inside, there’s an organized and roomy compartment with a zipped pocket and slots to make finding your boarding card and passport.
