RIMOWA loves a playful aesthetic. Years gone by have seen the travel powerhouse bring iconic destinations to life through colour – Provence, Japan, Copenhagen, and Miami have all inspired seasonal drops. Now, it’s Mexico’s turn.
For the latest release, the lightweight Essential Collection gets another dose of global energy, dyed head-to-toe in two vibrant new colourways inspired by the hues of Latin America – Granada and Verde.
Granada, a dusty pink nod to the ripeness of pomegranate, embraces a soft sophistication. The kind of terracotta-washed colour you’d expect splashed across a hacienda’s walls in rural Jalisco. Meanwhile, Verde pulls from the pale green cross-section of the agave plant – a tone so fresh you can practically taste that first beachside margarita.
The Essential Collection, for the uninitiated, is made from the brand’s signature premium polycarbonate material. Clocking in at just 3.2kg dry it minimises weight but maximises space. Polycarbonate also opens the door to colour – beyond Granada and Verde, you can choose from a variety of hues to match your vibe and bring some personality to your airport flex.
And if you’re heading north this upcoming summer, travelling through Europe is all about slimming down your accoutrements. You know what to expect – awkward flight connections, low-cost airlines, cobblestone streets; packing light with durable gear is essential for unpredictable itineraries.

Inside, dual-zipped compartments and a compression-friendly Flex Divider system make the otherwise unenjoyable task of packing palatable. Skirting the Essential’s handsome shell, you’ll find TSA-approved locks and a whisper-quiet Multi-Wheel system. Moving through an airport doesn’t need to be any harder than it already is, but these little luxuries mean that with an Essential Cabin in stride, it’s easier than most.
Each suitcase involves a great deal of assembly by hand and is inspected at every stage at RIMOWA-owned factories, so you’re getting an unprecedented level of quality and longevity for every detail. To back this up, RIMOWA also offers a now-famous lifetime guarantee that’ll travel with you everywhere. We wouldn’t be surprised if you run out of steam before the case does.
Few brands romanticise the art of motion better than RIMOWA. Built to move, made to last, but you’d better move fast – stocks of these colours never last long.
Granada & Verde are available in the Essential Cabin ($1,335), as well as larger variants of the Essential line, including the capacious Trunk Plus ($2,120). You can also embrace these colours and more in grab-n-go carry options, like the Flap Backpack ($1,940).
