Designed for effortless cabin travel, this vintage RIMOWA Original Pilot Case in silver is a refined choice for short business trips and creative on‑the‑go work. In very good condition with light signs of use, it moves smoothly from airport lounge to meeting, and doubles as a smart weekender for city breaks.
Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: What typically fits inside the RIMOWA Original Pilot Case? A: Designed as the ultimate mobile office, the Pilot Case offers convenient top access to your essentials. It comfortably holds A4 documents, folders, and binders, alongside a laptop (usually up to 15–16 inches, depending on the thickness of your sleeve). It is also spacious enough for a change of clothes and toiletries for a short overnight trip, or bulky equipment for photographers. Please refer to the dimensions (50 × 40 × 23 cm) to ensure your specific items fit.
Q: Is this case cabin friendly? A: With dimensions of approximately 50 × 40 × 23 cm, this Pilot Case generally complies with the hand luggage allowances of major legacy airlines (e.g., British Airways, Lufthansa) and many business-class fares. However, the 23 cm depth may exceed the strict 'sizers' of some budget carriers. We always recommend checking with your specific airline before travel.
Q: How does the opening work and is it secure? A: Unlike standard suitcases that must be laid flat to open, the Pilot Case features a top-opening lid. This allows you to access contents easily while the case is standing—perfect for trains, lounges, or flight decks. It is secured by two robust TSA-approved combination locks for travel security.
Q: Does this model have two or four wheels? A: This specific piece features RIMOWA’s Multiwheel® system with four wheels, providing exceptional stability and effortless manoeuvrability through busy terminals compared to the older two-wheel versions.
Q: What is the material and how does it age? A: This case is crafted from RIMOWA’s iconic silver-tone grooved aluminium. Aluminium is lightweight and robust but is designed to acquire a unique patina over time. Dents, scratches, and fading are considered part of the case’s character and travel history rather than defects. This vintage piece is in "Very Good" condition with light traces of use—please review the photos for the exact finish.
Q: Does it come with internal dividers or a laptop bag? A: Interior configurations for the Pilot Case vary by production year; some originally included dividers or laptop sleeves, while others were open. Everything included with this specific item is listed under “Accessories.” As this listing notes "no accessories," this piece features the spacious open compartment layout.
Q: How do I care for the aluminium shell? A: To clean the aluminium, simply use a soft cloth or sponge with warm water and a mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that could scratch the finish. Stickers can be left on for character or removed with warm soapy water/adhesive remover, though vintage stickers often add value and story to the piece.
Q: How do you confirm authenticity? A: Authentic RIMOWA aluminium cases feature a serial number etched into the frame (usually found on the side near the hinge). Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in-house experts, inspecting materials, hardware, locks, serial numbers, and construction. We stand behind the authenticity of every piece we sell.
