Today I was offered (and gladly accepted) the same brown-ish/siena (?) Rimowa as @theKrafty1tar above.
Echoing @chris63 I was curious about expiration dates. Toothpaste expired in 2020. Didn't see an expiration on the La Prairie cremes, but the little info packet on them had a copyright of 2018.
I like the Rimowa kits and all, but it kinda felt like a letdown after the Porsche kits that were more substantial with the cologne sample, nicer toothbrush, and mints. (OK, yes, I spend way too much time evaluating amenity kits!)

No sleeping masks and ear plugs on recent TATL flights
The title says it all: The amenity business class kits on recent IAD-FRA-IAD flights no longer contained sleeping masks and ear plugs. I was given sleeping masks when I asked, but the kits don't have them by default. Why? To me, sleeping masks are among the essential items in the kits, together with socks and toothbrushes. Don't care about the rest.

Toothpaste expired July of 2020! Can’t tell the dates on the La Prairie. The tin of mints expires April 2022 - they had mountains of them in the lounge and FCT for the taking, so I’m guessing they’re trying to burn through that stock as well. Nonetheless I was very happy to finally get a Rimowa after 5 years of trying to score one. The Holy Grail of AvGeek swag for me.

These are also old stock kits, I collected 3 about 3-4 years ago and another one last year. They last really well, I use them all the time for electronics/cables/flipchart pens ect. and they all still look great!

I was told recently by a flight attendant that they use Rimowa ones on the return flights, not the outbound ones (for US flights, from what I understood). Of course that might change by June.
