For 30 years, Pokémon has inspired millions of fans to travel the world, catch ‘em all, and build lifelong friendships along the way. Now, premium German luggage manufacturer RIMOWA is honoring that legacy with a highly exclusive collaboration. Celebrating the monumental 30th anniversary of the franchise, RIMOWA has unveiled a Japan-only capsule collection of bespoke travel accessories, perfectly merging the high-end craftsmanship of the luggage titan with the nostalgic joy of Pokémon.

Centered around the shared thematic pillars of “spirit of adventure” and “encountering friends,” the collection allows travelers to elegantly personalize their existing RIMOWA suitcases. The standout pieces of the drop are the three handcrafted luggage charms. Made from premium Italian leather featuring fine embossing and hand-finishing, the charms showcase beloved Pokémon—Pikachu, Charmander, and Charizard—playfully interacting with miniature RIMOWA suitcases.

For those looking to customize their shells, the brand is also releasing an exclusive sticker set. Featuring Pikachu, Charmander, Bulbasaur, and Squirtle, the vibrant decals utilize the “Magenta” and “Orange” hues from RIMOWA’s latest seasonal Essential collection. Finally, true luggage enthusiasts can upgrade their mobility with a custom wheel set. The wheels sport a bold red-and-white colorway directly inspired by the iconic Poké Ball, subtly detailed with the RIMOWA monogram as an homage to the brand’s home city of Cologne.

Whether you are jetting off to an international tournament or just looking for a high-end way to display your Pokémon fandom, this limited-edition drop is a must-have for frequent flyers. The Pokémon 30th Anniversary x RIMOWA collection will release in Japan on June 2, 2026. A lottery will be held from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at six select physical RIMOWA stores (Omotesando, Ginza 7-chome, Nagoya Sakae, Osaka Shinsaibashi, Kobe, and Fukuoka), followed by a general online release at 4 p.m. JST on RIMOWA’s official website.
