The partnership between Mykita and Rimowa is focused on developing eyewear based upon a shared legacy of lightweight and built-to-last constructions. “This collaboration perfectly expresses the essence of German design, where innovation and aesthetics come from owning both engineering and manufacturing expertise,” says Mykita founder and creative director Moritz Krueger. “Our collaborative design with Rimowa is minimalist, essential and inherently distinctive, revealing the specialist knowledge in materials and craftsmanship that we each bring to the table.” Designed between Berlin and Cologne, the eyewear collection is meticulously handcrafted at Mykita Haus in Berlin. Drawing on Rimowa's signature lightweight aluminium designs and Mykita's advanced eyewear engineering, this collaboration presents a new generation of iconic sunglass designs in a timeless blend of form and function. 

The collection showcases two distinct design concepts, the Heritage and the Visor, each reflecting the essence of both brands while delivering on the shared promise of durability and lightness. The Heritage series masterfully combines stainless steel craftsmanship with the use of lightweight, anodized aluminium in a reinterpretation of classic sunglass silhouettes. This marks Mykita's first time using aluminium for sunglasses. While the Visor series is a sleek, ultra-lightweight shield concept designed for life on the move. Ultra-light stainless steel meets a toric lens shield offering both a horizontal and vertical base curve to create a contoured fit ideal for navigating the dynamic environment of modern transit. The Mylon shield clip serves a functional and stylistic purpose, a nod to the beauty of technical innovation valued by both brands.  This collection will be available from April, 10.
