Rimowa adds Umber and Ultramarine to its Essential and Groove ranges, from 8 October. These names come from the painter’s studio. On the suitcase, what matters lies elsewhere: how far the colour is carried.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Umber<\/em> comes from the Latin umbra<\/em>, meaning shadow. The pigment of the same name is often used as the first layer in painting, the one on which the rest is built. Ultramarine<\/em> designates a blue drawn from lapis lazuli, which painters have held in high regard since the Renaissance. The Maison Rimowa makes them the two shades of the season. It applies them to a polycarbonate range, the material of its first suitcase of this type, presented in 2000, after the aluminium of the 1920s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The detail that holds the reference together is the matching. On the Essential, the colour is carried over from the handle to the closure, from the badge to the wheel housing, for a monochrome ensemble. These are the parts one touches, pulls and closes on every journey. The rest of the equipment is declared: stepless telescopic handle, Multiwheel system, TSA-approved locks, leather address tag supplied. On opening, one side offers a zipped compartment and a large mesh pocket, the other an adjustable divider, the Flex Divider, with a compression system. The Maison specifies that the collection is covered by its lifetime warranty, introduced in 2023 for suitcases purchased since 25 July 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Groove range takes up the two colours in bags. The new Mini Shopping Bag, available in Umber and in Ultramarine, is made in Italy in smooth calfskin. It carries polished palladium hardware and a magnetic closure, and can be carried by hand, on the shoulder or across the body thanks to a removable, adjustable strap. The small satchel and the zipped pouch are offered only in Umber.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The campaign features actor Joe Alwyn as a young artist moving into a studio. The pigments end up spilling over into his daily life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This article rests on the characteristics declared by the Maison: no suitcase has been examined. The judgement concerns the coherence of the idea, that of a painter’s colour on a travel object. It holds to the extent that the shade extends to the parts the hand touches. That is what the Essential announces, and what a suitcase in the hands will allow one to verify.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
