Since their beginning, Tiffany & Co. has invited great talents to work with them. They’ve collaborated with well-known architects and designers, the estates of artists Andy Warhol and Jean-Michel Basquiat as well as luxury brands such as Fendi and Patek Philippe. These collaborations were aimed at the wealthy, cultured and sophisticated. But the market has changed and potential customers are now younger and hipper. This prompted Tiffany & Co. to team up with such trendy streetwear brands as Supreme and Nike and artist Daniel Arsham.
The Tiffany RIMOWA Collaboration
And the co-branding continues, this time with RIMOWA, a 125 year old suitcase company whose introduction of polycarbonate luggage in 2000, their 2001 patented multi-wheel system, their 2006 TSA locks and 2008 signatory colors has made them a very popular choice amongst Urban Fashionistas.
Together they are bringing back a dose of much-needed cool to travel with a new collaboration staying faithful to the design signatures of both brands. The sharp facets of a diamond are translated into the ‘rock cut’ aesthetic of the cases, which is also nod to RIMOWA’s signature grooved aluminium surfaces. The partnership encompasses new RIMOWA and Tiffany & Co jewellery cases, as well as a Rimowa and Tiffany & Co Rock Cut Cabin suitcase.
