Bentley appeals to women with a capsule collection of handbags

Bentley, the British automobile brand that is as synonymous with upscale style as it is with high performance sports cars, has turned its attention to women with a new collection of handbags.  This prestigious line will be launched this fall in a limited edition, with prices starting at €4,500.

The names of the first two models in the capsule collection set the tone: “The Continental” and “The Barnato.” The first honors Bentley’s signature automobile, first marketed in 1952, while the second is a nod to British aviatrix Diana Barnato, who is also the daughter of the Bentley Boy Woolf Barnato.

For this initial launch, only 160 pieces will be sold. Each model will be available in four colors, with prices ranging between €4,500 and €5,500.

This is not the first time that Bentley has brought its illustrious brand name to other luxury products than cars. The company recently presented a complete interior decoration collection in partnership with Luxury Living Group as well as a precious perfume developed in collaboration with Lalique.
