RIMOWA has expanded its signature Original collection with Ink Blue, a new permanent colourway inspired by the enduring artistry of ink. The deep midnight shade refreshes the Maison’s iconic grooved aluminium luggage while celebrating more than a century of German craftsmanship.
For centuries, artists and writers have used ink to preserve ideas, stories and memories. Drawing from this legacy, RIMOWA created Ink Blue to represent permanence, creativity and timeless elegance. The rich metallic finish also highlights the natural beauty of aluminium through the Maison’s proprietary anodisation technique.
To mark the launch, RIMOWA unveiled a campaign starring American actress Sydney Lemmon. The short film follows her through Shanghai as handwritten ink calligraphy leads her on a search for love. Along the way, she explores aquariums, karaoke lounges and the city’s blue-lit streets with her trusted RIMOWA suitcase by her side.
The RIMOWA Ink Blue Original Collection includes the Cabin, Check-In L and Trunk Plus. Moreover, every suitcase comes with the Maison’s lifetime guarantee, giving travellers confidence for years of journeys ahead.
Each suitcase combines elegant design with practical engineering. The collection features RIMOWA’s stage-free telescopic handle, signature Multiwheel system and colour-matched TSA-approved locks. In addition, a newly engineered ergonomic handle closes slowly and quietly through an integrated damper mechanism. An updated Flex Divider with a zipped storage pocket also makes packing more organised.
Beyond luggage, RIMOWA extends Ink Blue into its Groove collection. The range includes the Groove Cross-Body Bag in Small and Large sizes as well as the Groove Zipped Pouch. Crafted in Italy from smooth calf leather, each piece complements the aluminium suitcases with understated sophistication.
Meanwhile, the Maison introduces a coordinated collection of travel accessories inspired by denim. The range features the Toiletry Pouch Trifold, Packing Cubes in three sizes and RIMOWA’s first reversible Bucket Hat with its own travel pouch. Together, these pieces combine durability with refined travel style.
Customers can purchase the RIMOWA Ink Blue Original Collection and matching accessories at RIMOWA boutiques worldwide and online. The latest release further reflects the Maison’s commitment to timeless design, exceptional craftsmanship and modern travel.
