The collaborators look back at their shared history with a collection spanning leather outerwear, travel goods, automotive accessories, and collectibles
Kith and BMW are extending their ongoing partnership with a fourth collaborative chapter, bringing together apparel, accessories, collectibles, and automotive design through a color palette drawn from both brands’ shared history.
The 2026 collection looks back across the partnership’s previous installments, organizing the latest offering around four automotive colors. Cinnabar Red references the BMW M3 E30, while Vitality Green was developed by Kith for the collaboration. Techno Violet adds another archival BMW shade, and Inka Orange, a color closely associated with vintage BMW models, becomes the newest addition to the partnership’s visual vocabulary.
Apparel translates these automotive references into an extensive lifestyle collection. Outerwear includes a multi-paneled leather jacket developed with Avirex, Braun and Dewitt leather moto jackets, and a selection of souvenir and track jackets. Kith staples including the Nelson Quarter Zip, Braxton Track Zip, and Nelson Hoodie appear alongside graphic T-shirts referencing BMW iconography and historic vehicles. Knitwear, shirting, and coordinating track pants round out the wardrobe, allowing the collaboration to move beyond straightforward motorsport merchandise.
Accessories extend the same approach into travel and automotive culture. Kith’s Overnight Bag, Travel Garment Duffle Bag, cardholders, and watch holders are rendered in smooth, tumbled, and Monogram-embossed leathers, while smaller collectibles range from ceramic mugs and catchall trays to car fresheners. More directly automotive pieces include co-branded floor mats for the BMW X5 and a license plate holder, while towels, tapestry blankets, posters, silk bandanas, and headwear broaden the collection into Kith’s familiar lifestyle territory.
The partnership’s most collector-oriented piece is a 1:18-scale model of the 1972 BMW 3.0 CSi, finished in Inka Orange. Constructed from 169 parts with 290 decorative elements, the miniature incorporates co-branded details including embroidered leather seats and custom packaging. Its level of specificity neatly encapsulates what has kept the collaboration going through four chapters: BMW’s automotive heritage supplies Kith with an unusually deep visual archive, while Kith turns that history into objects designed as much for collectors and fashion consumers as traditional car enthusiasts.
Rather than introducing an entirely new aesthetic for its fourth installment, Kith and BMW are treating the partnership itself as an archive worth revisiting. Bringing Cinnabar Red, Vitality Green, Techno Violet, and Inka Orange together gives the project a sense of continuity while demonstrating how effectively automotive design codes can migrate into fashion and lifestyle categories. After four chapters, the collaboration has evolved beyond the novelty of a fashion-meets-car crossover into a recognizable design language of its own.
Kith for BMW 2026 launches globally on August 17 at Kith stores, Kith.com, and the Kith App.
