RIMOWA · Essential and Groove Umber & Ultramarine. External-brand announcement; no current CarryFacts catalog SKU equivalence is asserted.
The practical change is a broader set of matching carry pieces, not a new suitcase platform. RIMOWA says the Essential models retain a dual-organization interior, Flex Divider, compression system and lifetime guarantee. Those are brand descriptions, not CarryFacts test results.
The announcement lists worldwide availability from 8 October 2026 and euro prices by model. Check the exact size, packed dimensions and local price before choosing a cabin case; color does not establish airline fit.
