The company was founded in 1898, in [Cologne](en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cologne), Germany. Rimowa suitcases are widely known for their parallel [aluminium](en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium) grooves, which have become characteristic of the brand.

In October 2016, [LVMH](en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LVMH) purchased an 80% stake in Rimowa, which became the group's first German company. From 2017 to 2021, the company was managed by Alexandre Arnault.
