German luggage manufacturer Rimowa has introduced a new range of bags crafted from sustainable nylon made from discarded materials from landfills and oceans.

To celebrate the launch, Rimowa pays homage to its birthplace, Cologne, Germany, by using its skyline as the backdrop for the campaign; while the monogram of each bag reflects the spires of the Kolner Dom, a historic cathedral in the city. 

The Signature collection includes a large flap backpack, a duffle bag, and a sliding tote. Each bag is made in Italy and has “smart functionalities” to ensure travellers have adjustable capacity options.

In addition, the eco-friendly nylon material used in the bags is light, supple, and water-repellent; however, trimmings and accents are made from leather.
