The samsonite lite cubes were also pretty nice from handling them at the store and compared to Rimowa are featherlight. But if I wanted a big suitcase not for the handluggage compartment I would save up for a Rimowa. Just to safeguard my camera equipment.

We have a few Rimowas (polycarbonate, not aluminium), first one is from I think about 12 years ago works perfectly and doesn't have a single major dent, barely a couple of scuffs. The matte black particularly is very durable as it doesn't really show scuffs (unlike the shiny colored ones).
the only down side is that they are hardly ever the only black Rimowas on the conveyor belt, ever since I caught a guy accidentally leaving with my bag I've put a bunch of stickers and recognizable straps on them :P"AVANT GUARDE HIGHEST FASHION. NOW NOW this is it people, these are the brands no one fucking knows and people are like WTF. they do everything by hand in their freaking secret basement and shit."

Originally posted by unwashed View PostDepends on the trip. For weekendtrips I use a small handluggage compartment suitcase and a my Cote&Ciel bag/Rick Tote. I wanted a matte black Rimowa for my camera equipment, but due to it being quite heavy I opted for a lightweight cheap alternative.
For longer vacations I have a Northface basecamp medium dufflebag or an old big backpack which haven't failed me in the last 18 years.
I travel a lot (100k+ miles the last 5 years — almost always in a carry-on). I have a Cote&Ciel Nile backpack that I love. I still have it, but I had an issue with having to pack a handbag for once I arrived — I'm female, and most of the time, I prefer to carry a cross-body bag over a backpack for day-to-day. I picked up a BBS bag in Berlin and had modified so that it serves perfectly as both hand luggage on the plane and a handbag once I land. I just stash whatever was in there that I don't want to carry everywhere into one of the large Rick totes that come with everything.
For luggage, I agree that the North Face Base Camp duffels are hard to beat. We have at least one of them in every size they make. My partner is a scientist, and he used to do these gnarly trips into the Amazon, and he took almost everything in Base Camp Duffels. They're tough, incredibly lightweight, and they do truly look better once they get a bit trashed... But they provide no protection, etc., so he always took all of the cameras in a Pelican.
In terms of carry-on size suitcase, I've been using a North Face Rolling Thunder for about 4 years now. It's starting to show some wear, and I'll likely replace it with a Rimowa when it dies, but not before.

Originally posted by monster View PostWhat's the best online retailer for DRKSHDW/Rick right now? I usually prefer to buy in physical stores but looks like everything I wanted to buy is sold out here where I live now. Thanks in advance!
a) where you live, i.e. if you're from the US and order in europe (or vice versa) you might have to deal with taxes/VAT/customs
b) what you do expect, like good prices, express delivery, availibility of any discount codes and/or current sales-season to make a bargain..?
Over here in europe probably all 'major' luxury fashion online stores carry R'Owens and/or DRKSHDW, like mrporter, matchesfashion, hervia, browns fashion, antonioli.eu, spence (there you find often things of a previous season for a good price!), harrods, selfridges (i cannot recommend, horrible customer service and a shop which is buggy as ****), wrongweather and for sure, the official r'owens-online-store out of their store in Milano.
As it feels like you're looking for an item, maybe use the 'looking for..'-thread and ask for that or these items you're looking for so maybe someone's stumbling upon the item you're looking for? good luck
;)
