RIMOWA, one of Europe's leading manufacturers of premium travel and carry-on luggage made of aluminum and polycarbonate, has just launched a new high-end polycarbonate series, which stands out for more than just its unusual name; the ONYX range also boasts an extremely stylish design replete with quality details.

The black suitcase with a broad, silver aluminium frame caters to every last wish of even the most discerning business travellers.

Even long business trips can be embarked on in real style from spring-summer 2015 thanks to this exceptional series, which offers four spacious suitcases and three matching business bags – a combination that is bound to inspire colleagues and business partners.

With plenty of storage space for documents and a foam insert lining to protect a portable computer, the laptop bags are must-have accessories for every man and woman in business.

And for even greater variety, RIMOWA has produced no fewer than two versions of this exclusive line. On the two larger cases of the first series, the front features a cover made from elegant leather and durable keprotec.

The smaller cases instead feature a practical front pocket made from the same premium materials. The entire front part of the cases in the second series is presented in sophisticated leather with the typical groove design.

Another new feature are the wheels cast from polished anodised aluminium, which complete the overall design of the cases and set them miles apart from other luggage.

Made from the finest calf leather, the smooth, high-quality handles ensure an excellent level of comfort and discreetly complement the outer shell.

The continuously adjustable telescopic handle fits extremely elegantly into the polycarbonate and conceals another highlight: fitted with a spring, the handle can be released at the push of a button, meaning no grip recess had to be included in the shell design.

Another detail that makes the ONYX so unique is the glossy lining, which comes in attractive silver. The matching Flex-Divider systems ensure perfect organisation on the inside and stand out for their innovative trapezium shape.

The new hook-and-loop fastener is another practical feature of the elaborately produced RIMOWA series.

The lateral grooves on the polycarbonate shell are reminiscent of the BOLERO business series from RIMOWA, otherwise the ONYX is in a class of its own – an inspirational design in terms of functionality and exceptional luxury.
