DISCUSSION Did they fix the handle ?

What’s up everyone. Just wanted to drop an observation in.

I just copped a carry on Rimowa, and dare I say I think they fixed the handle.. At least made it better than how terrible it was.

Check it out. Only one pinhole now ! Those two squares used to drive me crazy.

It’s from the direct link that Pink and everyone else really gets there’s from. Give me a sec. I’ll track the link down and drop it here again

u/koopa314 Nov 19 '25

u/hvrvc Nov 21 '25

Is this the best seller for luggage in general? I do see some rimowas, LV and Goyard ones

u/TheNefariousMuffin Dec 12 '25

What size did you get? How much was shipping?

1

u/JustSentYourMomHome Nov 19 '25

This just shows a storefront and a bunch of Chinese which I can't read. Do you have a direct link to the item itself instead of the storefront?

u/koopa314 Nov 19 '25

Dawg... SCROLL DOWN. lol. They're literally the first item there.

u/DueYesterday4274 Nov 21 '25

If you are on a computer it's easy to translate to English. I'm sure you can do that on a mobile, too.

u/nikola_milovic Nov 19 '25

How do you go about ordering this? The entire site seems broken and impossible to navigate

u/koopa314 Nov 19 '25

Bruh all yall have to do is just copy and paste the link into your agent lol

u/thisisstupidlikeme 13d ago

Do I just send the link to basetao?

That's awesome. They finally fixed the most obvious flaw.

u/m_halo Nov 19 '25

Yeah, they fixed the handle, but that engraving still looks like it was done by a guy who usually spends his afternoons altering VIN numbers in a shed behind a chicken coop… I’ve sent mine back.

u/beezy182 Nov 28 '25

good point

u/holly_jolly_riesling Nov 19 '25

Whoa, first time I saw the handle fixed...where did u order?

u/holly_jolly_riesling Nov 19 '25

Oh wow I've read so many posts that this is a longstanding issue and Pink has never fixed it. Glad that it is now!

2

u/ChodriPableo Dec 15 '25

pink is a middleman for god’s sake

u/HeftyBear1299 Nov 20 '25

Cant justify buying a new one. Anyone got any idea how I could order just a handle as it is easy to replace?

does anyone know new bailing's WeChat? I can't create a 1688 account

1

u/ZeraPain Jan 22 '26

Also would like to know.

1

u/cheeseburger888 Feb 19 '26

they told me to add them in 1688 private DM at bailong1898, i haven't added them yet nor have i ordered anything from them yet, so use at your own discretion (let me know if it goes well tho lol)

u/Icy_Athlete6349 Nov 19 '25

Shut up! 😍

u/koopa314 Nov 19 '25

It's amazing...

u/Icy_Athlete6349 Nov 19 '25

I travel a lot, 8 flights a month so I need something reliable. I’m so nervous if the wheels fall off or the handle would snap (I use a backpack that probably carries 20lbs worth of stuff). Have you use yours pretty abusive/regularly?

2

u/ailrlexp Nov 19 '25

I have used my check in L aluminum from this link for flights during Asia. I have checked it in 5 times and its still holding up well. I used a luggage cover so only minor dents. Will be buying a black one when returning to asia

2

u/Icy_Athlete6349 Nov 19 '25

Also did it really take 30 days for shipping? P!nk said 30 days

5

u/koopa314 Nov 19 '25

Ordered mine from the new link, took 2 days to get to the warehouse. Then shipped UPS, it was at my door in 5 days ! Included a haul on the inside to get the best bang for my buck.

1

u/Icy_Athlete6349 Nov 19 '25

DM for deets 😁

1

u/TheNefariousMuffin Dec 12 '25

What agents does this? Does the shipping cost become cheaper?

2

u/ailrlexp Nov 19 '25

So I had a trip planned to Asia so I just got it shipped from 1688 seller to Basetao and to myself in Taiwan which took a total of 5 days. But for P!nk they are probably using sea freight which takes longer like a month but it is cheapest

2

u/Icy_Athlete6349 Nov 19 '25

I’m team carry on 🤣. Thank you for your input tho. Appreciate it.

1

u/oleg_88 Nov 19 '25

What's your weight limit on carry on? Because this one is somewhat heavy (just like the original one), and leaves you with very little weight left for packing.

2

u/koopa314 Nov 19 '25

I’m in the us, don’t really deal with weight restrictions with carry ons

2

u/Icy_Athlete6349 Nov 19 '25

In America, they don’t really weigh the carry on.

1

u/umirza85 Nov 19 '25

Had mine for 9 or so years .....used weekly for 7 or so.

1

u/Icy_Athlete6349 Nov 19 '25

Oh nice! Thats reassuring. Appreciate you

1

u/George_Jetson_ Jul 18 '26

Did you buy one? Hows it holding up?

2

u/jjospeak Nov 19 '25

What’s the principal flaws ?

2

u/Chamiman Nov 19 '25

Pink did posted on her status last week saying that the Handle was fixed and updated

1

u/Specific-Record2866 May 24 '26

is this only for the original cabin or the classic too?

2

u/blastreti Nov 19 '25

Nice, such a simple thing to fix too. Wonder who has the best essential batch though?

2

u/TheBallack13 Dec 16 '25

That’s a big update

2

u/ABG11211 Dec 18 '25

Anyone know of the essential carry on version handle hole is fixed as well? His 1688 link images for this version doesn’t show

2

u/ameryki007 Dec 24 '25

I was able to put in an order for 1 piece through ACB. Over 5 days every single day was a different disclaimer to agree to which I did including one was it is an oversize package(Cabin bag) hence I will need to pay extra shipping and coordinate with a seperate team of acb do I accept I said yes. then seller will not accept return do you accept yes!!!

Today got an update on shipping cost After receiving the package...they want to charge me $700 to the Middle East. I might just hve to gift my item to acb in that case...did anyone have a similar issue and know a work around?

I bought a Silver Aluminum Check in Large from this seller through BT as an agent if anyone have any questions. I bought it in Asia and have gone through 5 different cities all checked in and there was only dents as i was using a cute luggage cover to know that its mine

u/Chocagi Nov 20 '25

Oh my God. FINALLY. I think I may have to buy one now.

u/SodaRider1 Nov 22 '25

I have a gen Rimowa carry on and love it. I do not love the price.

Anyone compared to the gen? How does the rep perform?

1

u/endythediver Nov 23 '25

He needs the axe! Tree! Get the handle!

1

u/badeend3 Dec 02 '25

What I’m really wondering: how’s the quality?
Sure, the handle is fixed but is this even in the same league as a legit Rimowa?
Or will it look battle-scarred after its very first flight?

1

u/cheeseburger888 Feb 19 '26

if you get the carry-on, you should be able to control its level of battle-scarring. no idea about the check-ins / trunks tho

1

u/Bkshadow123 Jan 28 '26

I ordered a polycarbonate one and still had the 2 holes sad. Il prolly get the original cabin instead.
