Rimowa leads the charge of new luxury retailers

Rimowa, the German luxury luggage group, is set to call Sydney’s 5 Martin Place home as the retail sector looks to the upmarket brands for revenue growth. The label is being distributed exclusively through Hunt Leather, which itself has a presence in the MLC Centre.

Sophie Hunt, whose parents founded Hunt, said the group also runs the Longchamp Boutique, of which there are four stores nationally and Hunt’s own five sites throughout Australia.

Ms Hunt said the group opens a newly branded store in Australia every year and, despite the massive growth of its online business, it still invests in bricks and mortar.
