The Shade of 2026: RIMOWA’s Powder Blue Arrives With Quiet Power
RIMOWA Opens the Year in a Whisper of Powder Blue
A New Icon for a New Era
Some colors insist on attention – others draw you in with quiet confidence.
With the introduction of Powder Blue, RIMOWA chooses the latter: a soft, crystalline shade that feels like the first breath of winter. It is delicate but assured, serene but striking – the chromatic equivalent of a fresh page waiting to be written.
To welcome 2026, the German Maison unveils this luminous hue across three of its most emblematic lines, once again proving its mastery of transforming functional objects into modern icons. Powder Blue is not merely a color. It is a mood, a tempo, a way of moving through the world with clarity and intention.
A Breath of Blue, A Study in Craft
Powder Blue graces three signature collections: Distinct, Original Twist, and Personal. Together, they form a curated palette of craftsmanship – refined, architectural, and unmistakably RIMOWA.
**The Distinct Cabin
Leather, Light, and Architectural Calm**
The Distinct Cabin is where engineering meets elegance. Wrapped in premium leather and outlined by the Maison’s sculptural grooves, the suitcase carries a quiet opulence. Palladium-toned hardware reflects the powdery blue surface with subtle brilliance, while the interior reveals a monogrammed jacquard lining that feels almost couture.
The result is an object that speaks softly, yet with absolute authority.
**Original Twist
A Modern Classic Reimagined**
The Original Twist Cabin receives a thoughtful refresh: Powder Blue handles, tone-on-tone TSA-lock housings, and a perfectly harmonized seal that softens the iconic aluminium shell.
Innovation appears here not as reinvention, but refinement – delicate shifts that elevate the familiar into the irresistible. A lesson in restraint, and proof that evolution can be whispered rather than declared.
**The Personal Cross-Body
A Sculptural Companion in Motion**
Completing the trio is the Personal Aluminium Cross-Body Bag, a sleek statement crafted from anodized aluminium and Italian full-grain leather. Designed for modern mobility, it merges function with sculpture – a piece meant not just to hold essentials, but to elevate them.
In Powder Blue, it becomes a small architecture of its own: futuristic, pristine, quietly magnetic.
The Essence of January, Captured in a Hue
Powder Blue feels like standing at the edge of a new year – clear air, pale sky, limitless horizon.
It is the visual expression of renewal, of movement with intention, of luxury stripped to its most essential form.
In introducing this shade, RIMOWA continues its long tradition of shaping not just how we travel, but how we feel when we do so. Calm, collected, beautifully aligned.
