I personally think that Rimowas are hideous and gaudy, so recently bought a much more classy and understanded B&R international baseline. So far I love it, I just completed a 42k mile rtw trip over the last 2.5 months and it held up without missing a beat, still looks great, dragged that thing over gravel, dirt, concrete, through airports, through cities, etc. Quite surprised at how well its done. What I like about it is that it expands if necessary, and I never had a problem fitting it into a sizer, only having it weighed...>_<
