What Happened
Bentley has announced the 1919 Collection, a limited-volume apparel line created by designer and Bentley External Creative Director Mai Ikuzawa. The collection celebrates the bond between Bentley and its enthusiasts, drawing inspiration from the brand's early days. It is available exclusively at the Goodwood Festival of Speed and Monterey Car Week, emphasizing a 'I was there' message.
The highlight of the collection is a chore coat crafted in hardwearing cotton oxford fabric in Bentley Green, designed to develop character over time. It features external patch pockets and atelier-quality chain stitch embroidery in Heritage White, including the Bentley wings and the words 'Bentley Motors Since 1919'. A removable Velcro label bears the 'Full Send' motif, referencing a viral video with stunt driver Travis Pastrama and the Bentley Supersports.
“Bentley pioneered the feeling of community among owners and enthusiasts. If you look back at the days of the original Bentley Boys and pioneering Bentley Girls, you’ll see that customers became part of the brand. It wasn’t just winning the race; it was how you celebrated too. I wanted to honour that spirit in the 1919 Collection and stay true to the authentic stories of true Bentley enthusiasts.”
