British Style, Reimagined: Meet the MINI Paul Smith Edition

09-03-2026

MINI and legendary British designer Paul Smith come together once again to put a fresh twist on classic design. The MINI Paul Smith Edition combines MINI’s unmistakable character with Paul Smith’s signature “classic with a twist” approach, bringing unexpected colours, playful details and distinctly British personality to every drive.

Available for the MINI Cooper 3 Door, MINI Cooper 5 Door and MINI Cooper Convertible, the Paul Smith Edition proves that great design is all about the details.
 

Classic MINI. Paul Smith Personality.

The collaboration starts with a distinctive exterior colour palette.

Statement Grey takes inspiration from the original 1959 Mini Austin Seven, reinterpreting its classic shade with a subtle blue undertone. Inspired White gives the beige tones associated with the classic Mini a contemporary update, while Midnight Black Metallic offers a sophisticated alternative.

Then comes the unmistakable Paul Smith touch.

Nottingham Green, inspired by Paul Smith’s hometown, appears across the mirror caps, grille surround and wheel hub caps, creating a bold contrast against the body colours.

Hard-top models can also feature an edition-specific Nottingham Green roof with Paul Smith’s signature stripe or a more understated black roof featuring matte and gloss tone-on-tone striping.


The Details Make the Difference

Step inside and the collaboration continues.

Nightshade Blue Vescin/knit upholstery is paired with black knitted surfaces and subtle striping, creating an interior that feels sophisticated without taking itself too seriously.

And because this is MINI and Paul Smith, there are surprises waiting to be discovered.

Open the door and you're greeted by a “Hello” light projection. Look down and you'll find “Every day is a new beginning” on the door sill. Even the floor mats join in, featuring Paul Smith’s hand-drawn Rabbit graphic.

The signature stripe also makes an appearance on the sport steering wheel, while three exclusive Paul Smith backgrounds are available through Personal Mode on MINI's circular display.


Two British Icons. One Fresh Perspective.

MINI has always been about individuality, creativity and doing things differently. Paul Smith has built his career around a similar philosophy: respecting tradition while finding unexpected ways to reinvent it.

The MINI Paul Smith Edition brings those two perspectives together in a MINI that's sophisticated, playful and unmistakably British.
