Bentley supports design talent Supriya Lele

Bentley Motors has collaborated with award-winning Fashion Designer Supriya Lele, known for her sensual blend of femininity and exploration of her British and Indian heritage.

Lele has used leather off-cuts from the iconic Bentley Motors Factory in Crewe to create two concept garments, exclusively revealed at her London Fashion Week show, which also sees her return to the catwalk for the spring/summer 2024 season.

The garments are said to have been conceived after a visit to the Crewe headquarters. Here, Lele states she was reminded of an elevated couture atelier after seeing the level of perfection and expertise the car manufacturer puts into its cars.

Leather hides named Camel and Light Blue, by Mulliner, were selected for the pieces, a move which is said to reflect Both Lele's and Bentley's affinity for colour, as well as their approach of mixing heritage with the progressive and modern.
