Bentley's Diamond-in-Diamond quilting surges in popularity

With exactly 712 stitches per diamond, Bentley's striking Diamond-in-Diamond quilting pattern for the interiors of the new Continental GT and Continental GT Convertible models is now ordered by three-quarters of all customers as part of the Mulliner Driving Specification.

The Diamond-in-Diamond quilting requires a high level of skill to produce and has a complex design story and manufacturing process.

The pattern can be commissioned for all four seats, door casings and the interior rear quarters. It is soft to the touch and truly stunning in appearance when viewed from both the inside and outside of the cars. Combining intricate stitching and embroidery, the unique quilting concept features a grid of elegant diamonds.

The Diamond-in-Diamond pattern adds a more sporting look to the cars' interior, alongside the other elements of the Mulliner Driving Specification which includes 22-inch lightweight forged alloy wheels, embroidered Bentley emblems, additional veneer options, a jewelled-finish fuel filler, sports pedals and an indented leather headliner.

A new quilting interpretation, inspired by the Diamond-in-Diamond technique is now being rolled out for Bentley's new Flying Spur. The new design features an elegant series of ever-lengthening diamonds tumbling down the seat, in a precise yet seemingly random formation, generated via the same machinery as the original Diamond-in-Diamond pattern.

Bentley customers will always seek something unique and the Mulliner Driving Specification, including the Diamond-in-Diamond quilting, caters to this in an exceptional fashion.
