Rimowa Bags Size Chart India: Cabin, Cabin Plus, Check In L, Backpack Dimensions
Rimowa Bags Size Chart
Rimowa sizes its luggage and bags in centimeters, using its own model names rather than the S, M, L labels most brands use. A Cabin case, a Cabin Plus case, and a Check In L look similar in the same silver aluminum finish, but they carry a genuinely different amount and are meant for different trips. There is no half size up rule here like footwear, if a Cabin feels tight for your packing style, the right move is to size up to the next named model, not to assume any two Rimowa cases hold the same amount.
| Model | Dimensions (cm) | Dimensions (inches) | Volume (Liters) | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Original Cabin | 55 x 40 x 23 | 21.7 x 15.7 x 9.1 | 35 L | 4.3 kg |
| Original Cabin Plus | 57 x 44 x 25.5 | 22.4 x 17.3 x 10.0 | 49 L | 4.7 kg |
| Original Check In L | 79 x 51 x 27.5 | 31.1 x 20.1 x 10.8 | 82.1 L | 6.2 kg |
| Essential Cabin | 55 x 39 x 23 | 21.7 x 15.4 x 9.1 | 36 L | 3.2 kg |
| Original Aluminum Backpack | 41.4 x 31 x 18 | 16.3 x 12.2 x 7.1 | Not listed by Rimowa | 3.2 kg |

What Kicks Machine actually stocks
Rimowa is new to Kicks Machine, so the current live range is smaller than Rimowa's full global catalogue. Right now, KM carries the Original Cabin, the Original Cabin Plus, the Essential Cabin (in gloss red, white, green, slate grey, and ballerina pink), a Supreme collaboration Check In L, and the Rimowa Original Bag Aluminum Backpack in silver. If a listing shows as sold out when you check, the model itself is still part of the stocked range, restocks happen regularly on the Rimowa collection.
For a first Rimowa purchase in India, the Cabin is the safer everyday pick, it clears most domestic airline cabin allowances and fits a long weekend. The Cabin Plus suits anyone who packs for a full week or travels with a partner sharing one case. The Aluminum Backpack is not luggage at all, it is a personal item sized bag built to pair with a Cabin or Cabin Plus on the same trip, not to replace one.
Buying Rimowa in India means paying import duty either way, so authentication matters as much as sizing. Every Kicks Machine Rimowa listing goes through in house verification before it ships, which removes the single biggest risk buyers face when importing aluminum luggage privately.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the actual difference between the Rimowa Cabin and Cabin Plus?
The Cabin holds 35 liters at 55 x 40 x 23 cm, built for airline cabin limits. The Cabin Plus holds 49 liters at 57 x 44 x 25.5 cm, roughly 14 liters more, and is meant for checked travel or longer trips, not overhead bins. Check the [Rimowa Original Cabin Plus](https://www.kicksmachine.com/products/rimowa-original-cabin-plus-silver-sale) listing for current stock.Will a Rimowa Cabin fit standard airline hand baggage rules in India?
At 55 x 40 x 23 cm, the Cabin fits most Indian domestic carriers' cabin allowance, though a few budget airlines cap total dimensions slightly lower. Confirm your specific airline's limit before travel, since Rimowa sizes its cases to global norms, not to any one country's rule.How big is the Rimowa Check In L, and is it too large for one traveler?
At 79 x 51 x 27.5 cm and 82.1 liters, the Check In L suits two week trips or two travelers sharing one case rather than short solo travel. For a single traveler on a standard week long trip, the Cabin Plus is usually the better fit. See the current [Rimowa collection](https://www.kicksmachine.com/collections/rimowa) for available Check In options.Does the Rimowa aluminum backpack fit a laptop and everyday carry?
Yes, the backpack is built with a padded laptop compartment sized for up to a 16 inch laptop, plus organized pockets for daily essentials. At 41.4 x 31 x 18 cm it is meant as a personal item or work bag, not a substitute for checked or cabin luggage. See the [Rimowa Original Bag Aluminum Backpack](https://www.kicksmachine.com/products/rimowa-original-bag-aluminum-backpack-silver-sale) for current details.Is the Rimowa Essential Cabin the same size as the Original Cabin?
Close but not identical. The Essential Cabin measures 55 x 39 x 23 cm at 36 liters and 3.2 kg, a centimeter narrower and noticeably lighter than the Original Cabin's 55 x 40 x 23 cm and 4.3 kg, since the Essential line uses a polycarbonate shell instead of solid aluminum. Both fit the same cabin allowance in practice.Whichever model fits your trip, buy it verified. Browse the current Rimowa collection on Kicks Machine for authenticated Cabin, Cabin Plus, and backpack options, each checked before it ships.
