Bentley and PICANTE unveil ‘The Open Road Collection’
Bentley Motors and PICANTE Launch Exclusive Capsule Collection
Bentley Motors has joined forces with London-based fashion and lifestyle brand PICANTE to unveil a seven-piece capsule collection. Merging Bentley’s rich heritage with PICANTE’s modern design ethos, the collaboration celebrates the open road and the luxury of spontaneity.
Inspiration Behind ‘The Open Road Collection’
‘The Open Road Collection’ draws inspiration from the rituals of food and travel, and the shared experiences that accompany these moments. It captures the sentiment of luxury travel—where the journey surpasses the destination in excitement. The collection evokes exploring something new with an air of nostalgia, highlighting Bentley’s love of travel through PICANTE’s contemporary lens.
Key Pieces in the Collection
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’s ethos, these are wearable souvenirs designed to evolve with the wearer in timeless shapes.
The Limited-Edition Leather Bomber Jacket
The pinnacle is the leather bomber jacket, limited to just 20 pieces. It features Bentley wings blind-embossed on cowhide leather, with the marque’s signature diamond-in-diamond pattern stitched into the quilting. Evoking a grandfather’s 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.
Insights from PICANTE Co-Founders
Co-founder Jude Taylor commented: “We 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’s interior and our finer details.”
Saam Zonoozi, co-founder, added: “We delved into Bentley Motors’ 100-year history, exploring archives and translating references into graphics that speak to our brand. Nods to both roots appear in details like the ‘Soho Crewe’ text.”
Availability
‘The Open Road’ capsule collection will be available from Picante Shop at 1 pm on Friday 15 November.
