damage to Rimowa luggage

Bought two of an early model Rimowa polycarbonate suitcase after a sales pitch which stated that this suitcase is basically indestructible and should last at least 10 years. After four years and roughly 10 usages, on our last flight a crack developed at one of the corners going right through the plastic.


We haven’t called Rimowa yet but I’m wondering what your experiences have been with customer service and whether you think these things are really worth the price since obviously they are not indestructible, and ours have already developed numerous creases and a deep scratches with only the above-mentioned minimal use, in addition to the above-mentioned crack.

It may be a better deal to go back to my previous “disposable” luggage purchased at discount stores.

Have you also experienced breakage of Rimowa luggage? It seems most of the damage is at the corners and the newer luggage has reinforcements there.
