Bentley Motors has joined forces with London-based fashion and lifestyle brand PICANTE to unveil a seven-piece capsule collection. Merging Bentley\u2019s rich heritage with PICANTE\u2019s modern design ethos, the collaboration celebrates the open road and the luxury of spontaneity.<\/p>\n
\u2018The Open Road Collection\u2019 draws inspiration from the rituals of food and travel, and the shared experiences that accompany these moments. It captures the sentiment of luxury travel\u2014where the journey surpasses the destination in excitement. The collection evokes exploring something new with an air of nostalgia, highlighting Bentley\u2019s love of travel through PICANTE\u2019s contemporary lens.<\/p>\n
The lineup features seven meticulously crafted pieces: a leather bomber jacket, Glenmerino lambswool knit sweater, hoodie, T-shirts, lambswool beanie, and a signature cap. True to PICANTE\u2019s ethos, these are wearable souvenirs designed to evolve with the wearer in timeless shapes.<\/p>\n
The pinnacle is the leather bomber jacket, limited to just 20 pieces. It features Bentley wings blind-embossed on cowhide leather, with the marque\u2019s signature diamond-in-diamond pattern stitched into the quilting. Evoking a grandfather\u2019s well-worn jacket, it is crafted to be passed down through generations, embarking on new journeys with each wearer. Each includes a numbered plaque in the inside pocket.<\/p>\n
Co-founder Jude Taylor commented: \u201cWe love that Bentley has such a deep-rooted British heritage, something we aspire towards as a brand. It has been amazing to work with them, gaining insight into the craft behind these iconic cars. We challenged ourselves to introduce a leather jacket with nods to Bentley\u2019s interior and our finer details.\u201d<\/p>\n
Saam Zonoozi, co-founder, added: \u201cWe delved into Bentley Motors\u2019 100-year history, exploring archives and translating references into graphics that speak to our brand. Nods to both roots appear in details like the \u2018Soho Crewe\u2019 text.\u201d<\/p>\n
