Introducing Mint and Papaya.
With summer just around the corner, it’s time to start planning your tropical escape. While you’re packing your chicest swimsuits and most stylish sunnies, why not add a touch of the tropics to your travel essentials? Get ready to soak up the sun and sip on delicious mocktails with RIMOWA’s Mint and Papaya Essential suitcase.
RIMOWA has recently launched two new beautiful colors, Mint and Papaya, as part of its seasonal Essential collection. These summer-ready hues are inspired by the lively and colorful atmosphere of tropical destinations. The Mint color is reminiscent of the pastel-colored buildings found in many tropical cities, while the Papaya color evokes the feeling of a sunset on a tropical beach.
What went down at the S-Factory, Seoul:
To commemorate the unveiling of the Mint and Papaya colors, we were invited to an exclusive event in Seoul where we got a sneak peek of the seasonal colors. The event was held at the S-Factory in the Seongsu district, where we were treated to a delightful experience surrounded by the immersive display of the Essential suitcases in the new colorway. While the gorgeous new hues took everyone’s breath away, the large reflective papaya sculpture took center stage, offering the perfect photo opportunity.
The event was attended by big names in the music and fashion industry, including RIMOWA global ambassadors Blackpink ROSE and Lewis Hamilton. Alongside these phenomenal stars, Korean Actor Rowoon, boyband SEVENTEEN’s Wonwoo and S.Coups, EXO’s Baekhyun and Xiumin, TREASURE’s Haruto and Junkyu, and Thai Actor and Singer Mile Phakphum brought their eclectic energy and presence to the occasion.
Dressed in RIMOWA’s signature companions to the event, guests and stars alike enjoyed Mint and Papaya-themed cocktails and canapes to commemorate the eventful affair.
