The Bentley Bentayga and Private White V.C.’s tribute to a war hero

The recent collaboration between Bentley Motors and the storied British clothing manufacturer Private White V.C. unfurls a narrative of heritage, valour, and unparalleled craftsmanship—leading to the culmination of a singular Bentayga edition. A vehicle that is as much an homage to historical bravery as it is an ode to the enduring legacy of bespoke British luxury.
The Bentley Bentayga, reimagined through the lens of Private Jack White’s valorous acts during World War I, transcends its role as a mere conveyance. It becomes a mobile monument to a hero’s courage and the timeless elegance of artisanal craftsmanship. The vehicle’s design intricacies, from the copper detailing that whispers of gallantry to the 22-inch wheels that mirror the hues of heroism, are a salute to Private White’s legacy. These elements adorn the Bentayga and enliven it with stories of the past.
The Bentayga’s interior is a sanctuary of bespoke luxury, where every stitch and seam echoes the meticulous standards of both Bentley and Private White V.C. The copper accents throughout the cabin are not mere embellishments but bearers of a profound narrative, representing the very telephone wire Private White used to save lives under dire circumstances. This thoughtful integration of design and story elevates the vehicle’s luxury to a realm where aesthetic appeal and historical homage converge.
The silhouette of Cottenham House, elegantly etched into the wood-veneered passenger fascia, serves not just as a visual delight but as a bridge to a bygone era. It is a reminder of the enduring legacy of craftsmanship that has flowed through the veins of Private White V.C. since its inception in 1853. The vehicle’s bespoke features, including the unique treadplates and the subtle embroidered bulldog in the door pockets, infuse it with a character that is both exclusive and endearing.
The exterior of the Bentayga, with its Dark Sapphire hue accented by contemporary Blackline Specification and privacy glass, encapsulates the essence of modern luxury while paying homage to the heritage of Private White V.C. The bespoke wheels, with their subtle copper accents, are a nod to the meticulous attention to detail that defines both brands.
Moreover, the inclusion of a capsule collection of bespoke clothing for the owner, handcrafted by Private White V.C., extends the bespoke experience beyond the confines of automotive luxury. It reflects on the symbiotic relationship between fashion and automotive design, where each influences and enhances the other.
