Chilling at Caesars Palace.

By Laura Medina

If you want to get away and hide out in air conditioned environment during the dog days of Summer, you can do it inside Caesars Palace.

First, you need RIMOWA Essential luggage, in bright colors to spot during baggage claim to haul off those goodies you will be shopping inside Caesars Forum.

This summer, RIMOWA introduces the first new collection of colored suitcases since the launch of its new visual identity. The four distinct colors, available for the RIMOWA Essential, are yet another fresh offering for customers loyal and new alike. RIMOWA understands that for many purposeful travelers today, making a distinct statement is important. While some might choose stickers or other accessories, plenty others may opt to distinguish themselves by sampling from a unique spectrum of colors. These newly available hues seek to provide just that. 

In typical RIMOWA fashion, the selection of these fresh colors is far from random, nor do they lack purpose and identity in and of themselves. While travelers so often focus singularly on the destination, RIMOWA seeks instead to ever ease the journey and encourage reflection on the moments in between. In keeping with this philosophy, these four new colors are sampled directly from the aerial view of remote coordinates usually seen only from above – the fleeting impressions of secluded places so often passed over that still beg to be visited.

The new RIMOWA Essential colors include Coral, inspired by Pink Lake in Western Australia; Slate, which takes its hues from the chalky, gradient grey hues of Indonesian mines; Sage, reflects the green shades of the Lake District in northeast England; and Saffron yellow of Tuscany’s rolling fields of canola flowers.

With detail ever in mind, each element of the new RIMOWA Essential colorways is expertly matched – from handle and zipper to badge and wheel housing – for a monochrome presentation that looks distinctly fresh, seasonal and modern. The new RIMOWA colorways for three RIMOWA Essential sizes are now available.

One souvenir you'll hauling off because you can't get enough and your friends back home, can't get enough...
