Rimowa repair
After a Jetblue flight, my Rimowa Limbo arrived on the conveyor with a bashed in corner. Looks like it was dropped off the aircraft belt. The dent is probably 2 inches deep. It doesn't appear that the poly was broken. I contacted B6 at the airport (FLL) and am awaiting their next steps
My question is Is this fixable? And, if so, who should fix it? Their designated repair or should I insist on Rimowa in Miami?

I did send this to the B6 repair partner in Dallas. They deemed it unrepairable. The dent and also a misaligned hinge
they are replacing it with the current Rimowa product

Serious hit, I must say. It seems to me that it can be repaired if you cut out the damaged part and print a new one on a 3D printer. Anisoprinting (сontinuous fiber 3D printing) should be perfect for this task.

Take it to any Rimowa repair center. If there is one thing Rimowa still does right its repairs, ( to point) . Alsandre and his dad would have lost my business if they killed that
