Mulliner, Bentley‘s bespoke commissioning division, is offering buyers the option for a sophisticated tweed door trim on their Flying Spur, Continental GT or Bentayga. There are a total of four contemporary tweed patterns, each featuring a tactile wool finish which is said to transform the cabin of your British luxury sedan, coupe or SUV, into a “robust yet tranquil environment”.
Starting with Cheltenham and its
countryside greens, this pattern is more traditional than the others, whereas
the Glen Plaid-Tolsta Beach one supposedly makes “a confident statement with
its bold check pattern.” Meanwhile, the Charcoal and Sand Herringbone tweeds
provide a more subtle yet contemporary choice.
The tweed used by Bentley is sourced from
Lovat Mill in the Scottish Borders town of Hawick, where the facility is said
to have absolutely no adverse impact on the local natural environment. The
ultimate focus for the British brand is to use more and more sustainable
materials in the production of its luxury vehicles, in line with its recently
announced Beyond100 strategy.
The new tweed options will be showcased in
Mulliner’s latest version of the Personal Commissioning Guide – the goal here
is to streamline the commissioning process. Meanwhile, other personalization
capabilities that can mix and match with the tweed door trim include the
headrest embroidery and marquetry, with endless possibilities for the Flying
Spur, Continental GT, and GTC. Altogether, the guide features a significant
number of elements that can be personalized with over 70 options.
