Is Nicholas Braun Eating Cereal From A Suitcase? No — That’s the RIMOWA Original Backpack

Within twenty-four hours of its initial launch, the RIMOWA Original Backpack sold out. Now, for the first time since its September 2025 debut, the sleek accessory is back in stock. To double down on the backpack’s everyday functionality, RIMOWA joins forces with American actor (and SHARP cover alum) Nicholas Braun. If that’s not a slam-dunk endorsement, what is?

In one photo, Braun plays the flute with the silver back strapped to his back. In the next, it serves as a makeshift dumbbell for a yoga session. (Who knew Braun had so many hobbies?) The photoshoot promotes the idea that — unlike, say, checked baggage — the RIMOWA Original Backpack is truly made for everyday use.

If seeing Braun treat his luxury backpack like a ragdoll sparks concern, there’s no need to fret: the shell and frame are especially durable, spun from anodized aluminum to resist erosion and wear. That said, the product comes with a two-year warranty for extra peace of mind.

Measuring a trim 16.3″ tall, 12.2″ across, and 7.1″ deep, the RIMOWA Original Backpack tips the scales at just 7.1 pounds. Elsewhere, back padding and shoulder straps come equipped with leather trim and nylon webbing. Meanwhile, the hardware boasts a silver-white palladium coating, which adds lustre to an already-slick silhouette. Sturdy materials synthesize into a sleek design.

Frequent fliers will be delighted to find that the backpack shares plenty of airplane-ready traits with fellow RIMOWA designs. Alongside the secure closing system and suitcase attachment sleeve, the RIMOWA Original also sports an optimized interior; there’s a divider with pockets for 16″ laptops, a removable pouch, and — of course — nylon lining. Plus, the back padding offers a discreet pocket for speedy access.

As we’ve come to expect from RIMOWA, the backpack delivers an impeccable blend of form and function. Perhaps Nicholas Braun really does keep it on during yoga class — with its comfortable straps and eye-catching aluminum coat, we can’t blame him.

The RIMOWA Original Backpack is available at RIMOWA stores worldwide and online for $3,225.
