From the "Original" collection, loved by travelers worldwide as an icon of RIMOWA, a new classic color, "Ink Blue," will be available on July 9, 2026. The "Original" collection has so far featured three classic colors: silver, black, and titanium. With the addition of Ink Blue, the range of classic colors will expand to four.

Ink, which has been used since ancient times to write words, draw pictures, and preserve thoughts for the future. Drops of ink have continued to etch people's memories and stories across eras. The new color "Ink Blue," reflecting the deep resonance of ink, is a coloring that beautifully blends the dignity cultivated by tradition with a modern, sophisticated atmosphere. RIMOWA's unique anodizing technology allows vibrant pigments to penetrate directly into the aluminum surface, achieving a uniform and deep color development on aluminum, a material notoriously difficult to color. The profound metallic luster inherent in the aluminum material reveals various expressions depending on the angle of light, further enhancing the beauty of RIMOWA's signature groove design.

Furthermore, the new color suitcases in this collection feature newly designed ergonomic handles. The adoption of a damper mechanism that closes slowly and quietly ensures a more comfortable user experience. The flex dividers, essential for smart packing, have also been updated to new specifications. The form is now a square design, and with the addition of a zippered storage pocket, organizing luggage has become even easier. As with other suitcases, these new color suitcases also come with a lifetime warranty. They will accompany you as a lifelong partner on all of life's journeys. (All suitcases purchased at RIMOWA stores and RIMOWA.com after July 25, 2022, are eligible for the lifetime warranty.)

In addition, the "Groove" collection, RIMOWA's first leather bag collection launched last year, will also be available in Ink Blue. This bag collection, made from soft Italian calf leather, will feature two types of crossbody bags (small and large) and a zip pouch, creating a beautiful harmony with the Ink Blue suitcases.

Seasonal accessories made of denim that match the Ink Blue color will also be available. These include a reversible bucket hat with a travel pouch made of durable denim, as well as packing cubes and toiletry pouches.

Accompanying the launch of the new Ink Blue color is a campaign featuring American actress Sydney Lemmon. In a short film, she embarks on a fantastical journey through a city painted in blue, following clues from a beautiful letter written in ink, in search of love in Shanghai. The film uniquely depicts how her reliable RIMOWA suitcase stays by her side throughout her unexpected adventures.

The "Original" collection suitcases in three sizes, the "Groove" collection bags in three models, and the denim seasonal accessories in Ink Blue will be available starting July 9, 2026 (Thu) on RIMOWA.com and at RIMOWA stores nationwide.

*Regarding the "Original" collection suitcases, they will be available starting July 9 (Thu) on RIMOWA.com and at the Ginza 7-chome, Omotesando, and Shinsaibashi stores. They will then be rolled out sequentially at RIMOWA stores nationwide.
