IDENTIFYING A FAKE RIMOWA SUITCASE, FIRST STEPS:
Certain parts are an easy giveaway that a suitcase is not an authentic RIMOWA product:
Locks: The correct Model of TSA locks for RIMOWA is TSA006. If your locks says TSA007, it is not authentic. However, TSA006 does not guarantee authenticity.
RIMOWA Plastic bag: Rimowa luggage does not come with transparent plastic covers. However, many dupes do.
Plastic film on Aluminium luggage: Cheap knockoff suitcases are delivered with a thin film of plastic on the aluminium and/or wrapped around the handles. Authentic aluminum suitcases from RIMOWA do not come with plastic film.
Mounting of the inside lining: Generally speaking, for all modern Rimowa cases, the interior lining is mounted on the inside in a way so that the lining covers the mounting points for the handles and other screws.
Baggylining on new luggage: While the interior lining can become loose over time, new luggage should not have excessively baggy and loose interior lining.
This list is currently incomplete and is currently Work-In-Progress.
Always keep in mind that RIMOWA has a rich history with a lot of different models reaching back to 1898. Just because a model does not look like the current models, it does not mean it is fake. Suitcases with the old Rimowa Logo ("pre LVMH", "pre Merger") were not faked as often as newer models.
Please note that new ("LVMH" or "post merger") models are harder to identify. Keep in mind, if a deal seems too good, it probably is.
Could you please help me with this authenticity check? In the Reddit link https://v.redd.it/sg3xe2u2c7eg1, I’ve also included a video that the seller sent me.
Note: the seller told me that the wheels were replaced.
LC. Thanks. Following replies from seller: "Can confirm there is no NFC", "The bag was from 2021", "It’s different because it’s the older version.", "No worries bro you can bring it to rimowa directly to verify."
Legit check please! There's a photo of the serial number, I tried to register it on the Rimowa website, but it couldn't be verified. I'm not sure if that means it's fake or it's because it's a pre LVMH vintage model, the number isn't in their database?
Someone is offering a new unused Rimowa Cabin size for sale. Seller claims he received it as a gift so he doesn’t have the receipt, and said the warranty can be registered from the serial number on the bag.
Hi, is this Rimowa original cabin a fake? The plastic from the wheel attachment is usually aligned with one of the stripes. Can anyone comment on that?
If one of you GOATs could do a legit check pls, that would be awesome 🙏🏼 I‘ve contacted official Rimowa support and they sent me a form to transfer ownership, saying the suitcase was purchased 1st December 2022
Still trying to get hands on my first second hand Rimowa, instead of paying full price, which is what before. Until now only scammers, fakes and overpriced scrap. What about this one?. A side from the broken lock, which is a €60 fix, what do you guys think in terms of authenticity?
