The new addition to Rimowa’s signature aluminum suitcases are the new electronic tag-enhanced luggage. These bags are meant to cancel out the hassle of baggage check-in lines at the airport. You’ll need to download the Rimowa app, check in your bag from wherever you are, and hand it in within seconds at the airport. Currently only Lufthansa enables this technology but it shouldn’t be long till other carriers follow suit.
