RIMOWA Launches Umber and Ultramarine Seasonal Collection
RIMOWA introduces Umber and Ultramarine as new seasonal hues across its Essential and Groove lines, with a campaign starring Joe Alwyn.
RIMOWA has introduced Umber and Ultramarine as new seasonal hues across its Essential and Groove luggage and leather goods lines. The German premium luggage brand launched the collection with a campaign fronted by English actor Joe Alwyn. The colours are available worldwide in stores and online from October 8, 2026.
Every piece in the Essential range is finished in a single tone from its polycarbonate shell to its handle, zipper, logo badge, and wheel housing. The Groove leather collection also receives the new shades. The Umber and Ultramarine collection provides a distinct point of difference against luxury luggage alternatives, leveraging lightweight polycarbonate engineered for maximum colour saturation.
Creative Campaign
Joe Alwyn fronts the accompanying campaign, playing a young artist who moves into a new studio. The colours inspire his creative process in the video. "As the days go by, the two colors spill beyond the canvas and into his routine, steering how he creates," Joe Alwyn said. The campaign features a short video of a young artist taking ownership of the space and creating a world of his own.
Product Details
The collection features color-matched polycarbonate suitcases and leather accessories with Renaissance-inspired pigment applications. Umber is an earthy brown pigment named after the Latin word 'umbra' meaning shadow. Ultramarine is a deep blue that pays homage to Renaissance lapis lazuli pigments.
Crafted from impact-resistant polycarbonate, the RIMOWA Essential range combines heritage German craftsmanship with modern travel technology. Essential cases feature a dual-organisation layout with a zipped enclosure and an adjustable Flex Divider system with compression straps. Every suitcase comes with a complimentary leather address tag and is backed by RIMOWA’s lifetime guarantee for cases purchased after July 25, 2022.
The release extends into daily leather goods with the Groove collection. The centrepiece is the Groove Mini Shopping Bag, handcrafted in Italy from smooth calfskin. It features a magnetic top closure, shiny palladium hardware, and a removable, adjustable leather strap for hand, shoulder, or cross-body carry.
