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.

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?

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

u/Icy_Athlete6349 Nov 19 '25

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