RIMOWA joins forces with historic German label GEWA
Violinists, listen up. RIMOWA has collaborated with inimitable German brand, GEWA, on a violin case, merging luxury craftsmanship rooted in functionality with the expertise of the instrument manufacturer. Made in Germany, the violin case exterior is crafted from RIMOWA's signature grooved aluminium. Meanwhile, the interior is hand-finished in a microfibre material and utilises GEWA's renowned neck pad system. To complete the product, a shoulder strap and two TSA-approved locks have been attached to the case to enable easy travel.
Dior unveils its Lady Dior pop-up in QueensPlaza Brisbane
Dior is creating space to celebrate the enduring popularity of its iconic Lady Dior handbag with a dedicated pop-up in the heart of Brisbane. Accelerated to cult status after being brandished by Princess Diana, the handbag, which was originally dubbed the "Chouchou", quickly became synonymous with the late royal after she was gifted it by Bernadette Chirac, the First Lady of France, at the Cézanne Art Exhibition at the Grand Palais in Paris.
Nestled within QueensPlaza, the city's home of luxury shopping, the space itself points riffs on the Lady Dior cannage motif with its wooden lattice work and geometric design, both inclusions that result in a moody interplay of light and shadow. Experience it now until April 6.

The collection will be available to shop from March 15.
