The Moncler Genius project has given us some of the most stellar collaborations in luxury fashion. From the likes of Craig Green to streetwear legend Hiroshi Fujiwara of Fragment, the collaborations are released monthly with each designer putting their own stamp on Moncler's signature down. The collaborations originally focused on ready-to-wear but has since evolved to include other categories.
Coming this September is Moncler's first partnership with RIMOWA. First unveiled in February, the Moncler RIMOWA 'Reflection' luggage is based on the latter's Original Cabin luggage silhouette but updated with limited-edition specifications. The exterior is crafted in RIMOWA's iconic aluminium that's been polished to create an incredibly mirrored surface, and then topped with a Moncler badge in metal. In contrast to the super reflective body, the Moncler RIMOWA 'Reflective' luggage is is fixed with matte black corner bumpers and handles.
And it doesn't stop there. The luggage comes packed with a set of packing cubes—made of Moncler's signature padded nylon fabric, of course—designed to make packing more organised. Additionally, a luggage tag and belt make up part of the set.
The Moncler RIMOWA show pieces that were presented in February featured an LED panel on the exterior that scrolls a customisable message. While that will only be retailed by Moncler, RIMOWA's much simpler (and more practical) iteration will be available in limited quantities worldwide from 17 September 2020 in both physical and online Moncler and RIMOWA stores.

Metal Voguez Volez Voyagez paperweight, by Louis Vuitton (SGD2,830 each)
