Rimowa publishes exterior dimensions on its product pages in both centimeters and inches and states that the measurements include wheels and handles, so these figures reflect the full overall size an airport gate sizer would measure. The values stored here use Rimowa's published inch figures, which run slightly larger than a direct centimeter conversion. Rimowa lists dimensions as height by width by depth.
