Inspired by the brand’s iconic Cabin suitcase, the new limited-edition case called "Reflection" features Rimowa's signature aluminum shell, with a shiny surface to honor Moncler’s coveted reflective down jackets. It’s also branded with Moncler’s logo. The slick surface offers a striking contrast with the matte black handles and exterior hardware. Of course, the most unique detail is the front LED screen that you can customize to scroll with your text of choice via the “REFLECTION” app.
