Bentley and PICANTE Unveil 'The Open Road Collection' - A Collaboration for Journey Lovers
Introduction
In a celebration of heritage, craftsmanship, and the spirit of the open road, Bentley Motors has joined forces with the renowned London-based fashion and lifestyle brand, PICANTE, to launch 'The Open Road Collection.' This exclusive capsule collection, inspired by a shared passion for travel and discovery, combines Bentley's rich automotive history with PICANTE’s contemporary design sensibility. For luxury lovers in Dubai and beyond, this collaboration embodies the excitement of the journey, where every mile is more thrilling than the destination.
Luxury on the Road
The Open Road Collection brings together two iconic brands that deeply value the experience of travel. Bentley’s legacy of creating luxurious automobiles that turn every drive into an event, merges seamlessly with PICANTE’s ethos of crafting wearable souvenirs that last a lifetime. This collection captures the feeling of exploration, combining nostalgia for classic road trips with the thrill of new adventures. The line highlights the rituals of travel—relishing in the journey, enjoying shared experiences, and embracing the excitement of the unknown.
The Exclusive Pieces
The collection comprises seven meticulously crafted pieces that embody the essence of the open road. These include a leather bomber jacket, Glenmerino lambswool knit sweater, hoodie, t-shirts, a lambswool beanie, and a signature cap—each crafted to be timeless in design and built to evolve with the wearer. PICANTE's commitment to enduring quality aligns with Bentley’s focus on luxury that stands the test of time, resulting in garments that are more than just clothing—they are stories waiting to be told.
The Leather Bomber Jacket
The centerpiece of the collection is a stunning leather bomber jacket, limited to just twenty pieces worldwide. This exclusive item embodies both brands' attention to detail and heritage. The Bentley wings are blind embossed onto cowhide leather, a subtle yet powerful nod to Bentley’s luxury automobiles. The inside of the jacket is adorned with the brand's signature diamond-in-diamond quilting—a design reminiscent of Bentley's plush car interiors. With its classic look, this bomber jacket evokes the charm of a well-worn heirloom, meant to be passed down and cherished for generations. Each jacket comes with a numbered plaque inside, adding to its exclusivity and collector's appeal.
A Journey of Craftsmanship
Jude Taylor, co-founder of PICANTE, expressed his admiration for Bentley’s heritage: "We love that Bentley has such a deep-rooted British heritage, and it is something that we, as a brand, aspire towards. Working with Bentley allowed us to understand the level of craft behind their iconic cars, and we wanted to bring that same attention to detail to our collection." Taylor highlighted the bomber jacket as a dream project, blending design elements from Bentley’s car interiors with PICANTE’s contemporary approach to fashion.
Saam Zonoozi, PICANTE's other co-founder, added: "We dug deep into Bentley's extensive history, exploring over 100 years of evolution, and pulling inspiration from their archives. We aimed to create a visual narrative that honors the heritage of both brands, evident in the 'Soho Crewe' text that pays tribute to Bentley’s roots and PICANTE’s identity."
