German premium mobility brand RIMOWA is introducing two new seasonal colors, Umber and Ultramarine, to its Essential and Groove collections. Both colors will be available from Oct. 8, 2026, at RIMOWA stores worldwide and on the brand's official online store.
Inspired by the intrinsic relationship between color and material, the new shades draw on natural pigments that have accompanied the history of art for centuries. Umber, a natural brown derived from the earth, and Ultramarine, a precious blue extracted from lapis lazuli, stand in contrast to one another. Through them, the brand says it set out to express the transformative power and alchemical beauty of color.
Umber is inspired by natural pigments, the oldest element of human artistic expression, and is rendered as a deep brown with a subtle sheen. Often used for the first layer of a painting, umber takes its name from the Latin word "umbra," meaning "shadow," and lends a warm, calm mood across the collection. Ultramarine is inspired by the vivid blue that has been beloved by artists since the Renaissance. Its deep, captivating, velvety blue evokes an alchemical beauty, and together with Umber it achieves a harmony between earth and imagination, according to the brand.
The campaign unveiled alongside the new colors stars British actor Joe Alwyn. It follows a young artist who moves into a new studio and gradually transforms the unfamiliar space into a world of his own. The blue and brown pigments that have filled artists' palettes for hundreds of years naturally seep into his daily life, adding inspiration to his creative process.
Crafted from polycarbonate, the Essential line is defined by a monochromatic design finished in a single color. Everything from the shell to the handles, zippers, wheel housings and logo badge is matched in the same hue. For ease of travel, the line features RIMOWA's signature Multiwheel system, a telescopic handle that adjusts seamlessly without fixed steps, and TSA-approved locks.
Inside, a dual-compartment structure features a zippered compartment, generous mesh pockets and an adjustable Flex Divider. Equipped with a compression system, the Flex Divider helps pack more belongings efficiently. Every suitcase comes with a leather address tag and, like all RIMOWA suitcases, is backed by a lifetime guarantee.
The two colors also extend to Groove, RIMOWA's leather bag line. The Groove Cross-Body Bag Small and Groove Zipped Pouch, offered in Umber, are designed to carry everyday essentials with style and practicality. The new Groove Mini Shopping Bag reinterprets the silhouette of RIMOWA's existing shopping bag in a more compact size and comes in both Umber and Ultramarine.
The Groove pieces are made in Italy from smooth, durable calfskin leather and finished with polished palladium hardware and magnetic closures. A detachable, adjustable strap allows them to be carried in a variety of ways, including as a tote, cross-body bag or shoulder bag.
The launch includes the Essential Cabin in Umber and Ultramarine, the Essential Check-In M in Ultramarine, the Essential Check-In L in Umber, and the Essential Trunk Plus in Umber and Ultramarine. Also arriving are the Groove Mini Shopping Bag in Umber and Ultramarine, the Groove Cross-Body Bag Small in Umber and the Groove Zipped Pouch in Umber. Rounding out the lineup are the Trifold Toiletry Pouch in Ultramarine and Packing Cubes in Small, Medium and Large in Ultramarine. All products will be available from Oct. 8, 2026, at RIMOWA stores worldwide and on the brand's official online store.
