In a remarkable fusion of British heritage and luxury, Boodles, a jeweller renowned for its exquisite craftsmanship, and Mulliner, Bentley’s bespoke division, have joined forces to craft a singular masterpiece: the Bentley Continental GTC. This collaboration has birthed a vehicle that not only exudes sophistication but also encapsulates the essence of bespoke luxury, characterized by a color palette that stretches from Anthracite to Linen, accented by Boodles’ distinct Powder Pink for a touch of elegance. The interior is a lavish affair, featuring 24ct gold accents, natural stone veneer, and elaborate ‘Be Boodles’ embroidery, showcasing the pinnacle of automotive luxury.
The partnership between Mulliner and Boodles, celebrated for being named the ‘British Luxury Brand of the Year’ at the 2023 Walpole Awards, began in May 2023. It was initiated by a visit from Boodles’ creative team to the Mulliner workshops, where a mutual vision for a car with an understated color scheme, premium materials, and meticulous craftsmanship was conceived. Their combined efforts were materialized in the Bentley Continental GTC, chosen for its open-top design that invites sunlight to enhance the vehicle’s interior splendor.
Set to be unveiled on April 11th at Jack Barclays in London, the Boodles Commission Continental GTC embodies timeless elegance. The exterior, finished in Anthracite with a light grey fabric roof, highlights the vehicle’s sleek lines, complemented by Mulliner 22” wheels and subtle Powder Pink pinstripes. The craftsmanship extends inside, where the color scheme continues with Linen and pale grey Porpoise hides, and Powder Pink accents. Every detail, from the ‘Be Boodles’ embroidered motif requiring over 278,566 stitches, to the one-off ‘Be Boodles Bentley’ pendant in white gold, underscores the exclusivity of this creation.
The interior is rich in bespoke details, from Piano Linen and Autumn Stone veneers to 24ct gold-plated controls and Powder Pink accented air vents, all showcasing advanced craftsmanship techniques. This unique Bentley also features a Rotating Display with a Boodles motif, adding a touch of jewelry-inspired elegance to the dashboard.
This partnership between Mulliner, with its long history of coachbuilding dating back to 1760, and Boodles, established in 1798 and known for its unparalleled jewelry design, represents a meeting of titans in the realms of luxury and craftsmanship. The Boodles Bentley Continental GTC stands as a testament to their collaborative prowess, a one-of-a-kind vehicle that marries the worlds of high-end automotive and jewelry design in a celebration of British luxury. This exceptional vehicle will be available for purchase starting April 11th, marking a new chapter in the legacy of two iconic brands.
