MYKITA and RIMOWA Add One New Shape—and Two Better Green Options
The 2026 eyewear update is four colour-model combinations, not four new frames: MR006 is the only new silhouette, while MR001 and MR002 gain Clay Green.
Quick answer
MYKITA and RIMOWA's four-piece 2026 update contains one genuinely new frame: the teardrop MR006 Aviator in Silver/Black and Titanium/Black. The established MR001 Panto and MR002 Square each gain Clay Green with Raw Brown Gradient lenses. All four launched at €595, combining hand-lacquered stainless steel with anodised-aluminium rings. Choose by bridge and lens shape, not by the suitcase logo; fit is the only verdict that matters on eyewear.
Four releases, three shapes
MR001 is the rounder Panto, MR002 the more angular Square and MR006 a teardrop Aviator introduced for 2026. Clay Green is limited to MR001 and MR002, where matte khaki frames meet Raw Brown Gradient category-two lenses. MR006 instead uses Silver/Black or Titanium/Black, keeping the metal contrast more explicit.
Calling all four styles new would overstate the release. The useful choice is geometric: Panto softens an angular face, Square gives more structure, and the Aviator drops lower on the cheek. Those are general tendencies, not fit guarantees. Try the bridge, nose pads and temple length in person whenever possible.
- MR001 Panto and MR002 Square: Clay Green with Raw Brown Gradient lenses
- MR006 Aviator: Silver/Black or Titanium/Black
MYKITA does the eyewear engineering
The frames are handcrafted at MYKITA HAUS in Berlin from lacquered stainless steel, with RIMOWA-inspired anodised-aluminium rings around the lenses. MYKITA's spiral hinge avoids conventional screws, while adjustable silicone nose pads and anti-slip temple tips tune contact. The lenses add anti-reflective inner coating and stated full UVA/UVB protection.
The division of labour is credible: MYKITA contributes an established lightweight frame system and RIMOWA contributes material accent and finish. Aluminium does not turn the glasses into miniature luggage, nor does it automatically improve fit. It is a structural and visual ring within a MYKITA product.
- Frame: stainless steel with proprietary spiral hinge
- Details: aluminium lens rings, adjustable pads and anti-slip temple tips
The quieter green frames are the strongest update
All four combinations launched at €595 in Europe; MYKITA's US pages later listed regional dollar prices that differ with market and tax. Each pair included a co-branded case, cloth and authenticity certificate. Nina Hoss and Leon Dame fronted the rehearsal-room campaign, but neither can tell a buyer where the frame will sit on their nose.
Our verdict: MR006 is the news, yet Clay Green is the better design move because it softens the obvious collaboration cues and lets the shape lead. Buy only after trying them. At this price, a pressure point behind the ear matters more than aluminium rings or campaign casting.
- Best discreet option: MR001 or MR002 in Clay Green
- Non-negotiable buying step: assess bridge, cheek and temple fit in person
