“Starting with the exterior profile and volume, we have drawn inspiration from the iconic shape present on the rear aspect of the boot lid of the car,” says Ceccomori. “The split side panels echo the wing-shaped buttresses of the interior dashboard and help to enhance dynamism and elegance, allowing to play with different material and colour finishes, a classic Bentley bespoke feature.” Inside, the bags are lined with fine leather with quilting features and functional compartments. That means a waterproof pouch (for those inevitable accidents) and dedicated compartments along with a separate purse or make-up bag. Colours are sophisticated and classic – reds, plums, creams, blacks, blues and chestnut. Clasps and fixing are eminently designed to be simultaneously silky smooth and robust. It’s like stepping into a car in terms of luxury and decadence. The Bentley badge is set with proud prominence, the knurled signature enhancing the sense of craftsmanship to a level normally seen in jewellery. Highlighting the uniqueness of each bag, every one will contain a metal plaque marking its individual number in the limited edition series. You can even personalise this tag to include your name and car. While diversification is nothing new in any business – every company looks for new lines and complementary products to feed their expansion – this is a new bent for car companies. The unique move reflects the essential values for which Bentley is renowned worldwide. An exquisite aesthetic 1 9 0 S I M P LY A B U DH A B I
