Holiday goers rave over Tesco dupe of £1k Rimowa suitcases loved by celebs – they're under £30 and there's two colours
The original suitcases have been spotted with celebs like Zendaya and Cara Delevingne SHOP TO IT Holiday goers rave over Tesco dupe of £1k Rimowa suitcases loved by celebs – they're under £30 and there's two colours IF you're jetting off somewhere sunny this year and need a new suitcase, look no further than Tesco The supermarket currently has a dupe of the popular Rimowa brand in stores, and for a bargain price. 2 Libbie showed off her find on TikTok Credit: Tiktok/@libbiemayfitzpatrick 2 The dupes are available in both gold and silver Credit: Tiktok/@libbiemayfitzpatrick You've probably seen the Rimowa suitcases rolling alongside your favourite celebs and influencers without even realising. Stars like Zendaya, Cara Delevingne and Julianne Moore have been photographed with the stylish luggage before, but the Rimowa Classic Cabin will set you back a whopping £1,130 - and prices go up if you want a larger case too. Luckily, one savvy shopper spotted the dupe on the shelves of their local Tesco - and you'll save hundreds. Libbie Fitzpatrick took to TikTok to show off the find - and shoppers can even choose from gold or silver. In the viral video she said: "Get yourself down to Tesco because they've just brought out Rimowa-style suitcases and they are stunning!" The suitcases are priced at £65, but Clubcard shoppers can nab the luggage for just £27.50. Holiday goers took to the comment section of the clip to rave about the find, as one wrote: "They've been reduced a while now, over two weeks!" "I got the blue one a few weeks ago, they didn't have gold and silver then. Still prefer the blue. "Suitcases are so expensive these days so these are a good price on the deal," another wrote. But others weren't sure if plastic suitcases would be a good fit for airport chaos. My daughter is never going to school because our eight family holidays per year are more important - parents who only take trips during the official breaks are 'utter muppets' Meanwhile, others wanted to know if the suitcases were lightweight, "Please tell me it's light weight and won't take off my allowance," one said. And another agreed: "I don't like hard style cases, they weight a bit more so you can't carry as much." If you are on the hunt for a new suitcase that will stand the test of time, Captain Alexander York, who flies A380s for Emirates, shared his go-to bag that has yet to let him down. The 40-year-old has been using the exact same suitcase for over a decade and knows which cases are more likely to end up being duds. He told 9Travel: "I've been using a large hard case Samsonite for over 15 years and it's served me well." Hard-shell luggage is rigid and usually made of plastic or metal, while soft-shell cases are typically made of fabric and are more flexible. While he did not name a specific one, Samsonite said its hard-shell suitcases are typically made from "high-quality materials like polycarbonate or aluminium." Alexander recommended hard cases over soft ones, despite their higher weight, as he believes softer ones are at a greater risk of damage. He said: "I think bags with exposed wheels, or soft pouches are bound to be damaged, so I'd stick with the hard case."

Holiday packing tips Jemma Solomon, aka The Label Lady has got 5 packing tips to help you get organised for your next holiday. 1. Write a list Think about all the essentials you need to take with you; suncream, medicine, a few games for the kids, beach towels, and write everything in one list, which you can tick off as you add it to your suitcase. Or for complete ease, try Google's AI app - Gemini - which will create a list for you and help you not over pack. 2. Involve your kids Jemma said: 'My girls are getting older, they're 11 and nine, and they enjoy helping to pack. So I send them a list, and say 'this is what you need' and they follow the list. 'And then I give them a rucksack each - and say to them 'you can have whatever you want in there as long as it's not liquid', and they can take that on the plane. And that's their 'home away from home' items.' 3. Try a hack or two She said: "I think they all work, but for different reasons - and you've just got to pick the right one for your trip. "Rolling your clothes is really good to stop your clothes from getting creases. And if you're trying to get a lot of items into your case, it's a space saver. 'Packing cubes are great - for example, I'm going on holiday with my three kids and we're all using the same suitcase for our clothes. "These handy compartments let you separate your clothes, toiletries and tech into designated cubes, maximising luggage space by keeping your items compressed and neatly stacked. "I love taking them abroad with the family and it means my kids can easily take charge of their own items once we've arrived." 4. Decant beauty products Do you really need to take full-size bottles of shampoo and conditioner with you? The beauty industry has evolved so much, you can now buy shampoo bars or sheets - which are much lighter and smaller. Or, if you'll be popping to the shops when you're abroad, consider buying some items when you arrive. 5. Get organised before you come home Jemma said: 'When you repack on holiday [before coming home], the trick is to separate clean from dirty clothes. 'Also pack it in some form of order - so lights, darks, colours for items that need washing, or if you wash your clothes by person in the household, piles for each person. "Then you can put it straight into the washing machine. Do it straight away, don't leave it."

Rosé, Hamilton, Jay Chou and the common points in their journeys of self-definition in the Rimowa campaign
Above Rosé and Rimowa (photo: Rimowa) Their stories unfold not just in front of the camera, but through heartfelt narratives—moments of introspection, shifts in perspective, and the quiet significance of life's seemingly small experiences. 'The more I travel, the more I realise how much I have yet to learn,' Rosé reflects. 'Each journey leaves its trace.' For Jay Chou, travel feeds creativity and rekindles his first loves. Hamilton, meanwhile, sees stepping beyond comfort as a way to renew, to press forward. Above Lewis Hamilton and Rimowa (photo: Rimowa) Directed by Daniel Wolfe and Elliott Power, the campaign moves beyond polished visuals. It reveals unspoken emotions often hidden behind public lives. Each icon is featured in two short films: one intimate and behind-the-scenes, the other a lyrical look at their suitcase—a keeper of mementoes, a storyteller in itself. Read more: Understanding why the Cannes Film Festival dress code is problematic Above Each mark a moment, each surface quietly bearing witness to a life in motion (photo: Rimowa) Above Each mark a moment, each surface quietly bearing witness to a life in motion (photo: Rimowa) At the heart of the campaign are three classic Rimowa aluminium suitcases—scuffed, stickered, and storied. Jay Chou's tennis motifs, Rosé's album imagery, Hamilton's nod to his dog Roscoe—each mark a moment, each surface quietly bearing witness to a life in motion. Above These aren't just travel companions; they're part of the narrative (photo: Rimowa) More than a celebration of enduring craftsmanship, Rimowa's Never Still is a poignant reminder that luggage can become an extension of self. These aren't just travel companions; they're part of the narrative—a reflection of lives defined not by destination, but by the journey itself.

ICRA reaffirms ratings of Ethos at 'A+' with 'stable' outlook
Ethos said that the credit rating agency ICRA has reaffirmed the company's long-term rating at '[ICRA] A+' with 'stable' outlook. ICRA stated that the rating reaffirmation factors in ICRAs expectations that Ethos will continue to maintain a satisfactory financial profile, led by a healthy YoY growth in its revenues and profit margins. Healthy demand in the luxury watches retail segment in India, increasing average selling prices, as well as the ongoing store network expansion augur well for the companys business prospects and are expected to strengthen the companys market position. Furthermore, the consistent increase in exclusive brand arrangements and growing traction in the new lifestyle vertical (Rimowa and Messika), along with the international expansion in Dubai will continue to support the companys margin profile. The companys credit metrics have remained comfortable with benefits accruing from the growing scale amid healthy demand from luxury and high-end luxury segments, regular fund raising and limited external debt on its books. ICRA expects Ethos credit metrics to remain healthy, led by strong liquidity position and benefits accruing from its retail network expansion. The rating continues to favourably factor in Ethos position as the largest organised luxury watch retailer in the country. The ratings are further supported by the expected pick-up in the performance of the parent company, KDDL Limited, over the medium term. The ratings, however, are constrained by the inherently working-capital intensive nature of the companys business. The company needs to maintain adequate inventory across various watch segments to maintain the brands standard of displaying products to its customers. Additionally, the company is exposed to forex fluctuation risk, as a substantial portion of its products is imported. Moreover, the company is exposed to competition from domestic players and international markets in the retail segment. Going forward, its ability to expand its store network while maintaining its margins and credit metrics will continue to remain a key monitorable. Ethos was incorporated in 2003 and is a material subsidiary of KDDL Limited. The company is involved in retailing luxury watches. It retails nearly 70 premium and luxury watch brands such as Omega, Jaeger LeCoultre, Panerai, Bvlgari, H. Moser & Cie, Rado, Longines, and Tissot. The company runs 73 retail stores across 26cities in India, including cities such as New Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai and Kolkata. The scrip fell 1.70% to currently trade at Rs 2840 on the BSE.
