Two new models from the joint Mykita and Rimowa eyewear line went on sale on 15 October. The Heritage MR007 is a perfectly round stainless steel sunglass with anodised aluminium rings that echo the finish of Rimowa suitcases, offered in silver and black. The Visor MR008 is a slimmer version of the lightweight shield design, with a toric lens construction and a Mylon shield clip. The classic Heritage MR006 aviator also arrives in a new all-black colourway.
The models were developed between Cologne and Berlin and, according to Rimowa, are handcrafted at Mykita Haus in Berlin; each pair comes with a certificate of authenticity. The two brands have worked together since April 2025 in an exclusive long-term partnership which, according to the Berliner Zeitung, followed three years of development work. The collection is sold in Mykita stores, selected Rimowa stores, through retail partners worldwide and online.
The campaign, "The Rehearsal", features German actress Nina Hoss and model Leon Dame, who also fronted the spring campaign. In the short film, each plays two characters in a bare rehearsal room, with every change of sunglasses marking a switch from one role to the other. Close-ups, quick cuts and shifting light are meant to show how eyewear changes the way a person comes across. The campaign film has been on Mykita's YouTube channel since October 15.
