ON THE ROAD

A journey of over 48,000 km begins with a well-packed suitcase and this author has found himself never still

ON THE ROAD

THE GLOBE AND ITS MYRIAD OF air travel networks stretched out before me like a lover’s whisper, beckoning me with promises of adventure and discovery. Planning a holiday begins in the heart before it begins in the mind, an alchemy of contrasts – is there such a thing as a leisurely adventure? Since 1898, Rimowa has been a pioneer in providing the ultimate mobility solutions for discerning travellers around the globe. Its recent Never Still collection, featuring bags engineered for daily needs, exemplifies this industrial know-how and the brand’s masterful craftsmanship – like scars on a mountain biker, every ding, every nick, every scratch is evidence of an epic journey of discovery.

As I fished the credit card from my wallet to key in crucial details for ticket payment and hotel bookings, excitement coursed through my veins, a pulsating rhythm urging me to escape the confines of the familiar and embrace the unknown. With each destination that danced in my mind, my heart quickened with a wanderlust that only a true vagabond could understand – it was hard to keep still.

Made in Italy, the German Maison’s Flap Backpack Large has been reimagined in nylon, offering an unmistakable modern appearance while echoing the brand’s signature design with light and a water-repellent material that offers a slight gloss sheen reminiscent of Rimowa’s iconic aluminium suitcases and its identifiable grooves embroidered unto its nylon surface.
