Bentley Leather Coming to Geneva

If by any chance you get tired of all the motorized contraptions which will be displayed on the floor of the Geneva Auto Show next week, and your eyes feel the need to feast on something different, than the Bentley stand might be the right place to go to. Among the models the luxury auto maker will be presenting at the show, some leather creations will be cleverly hidden by Bentley and its leather specialist, Ettinger. Together, the two have devised what they call must-have accessories, which would perfectly match the Bentley you intend to buy at one point. The collection of leather objects wearing the Bentley logo is as diverse as it is useless from the automotive perspective: purses, wallets, passport cases, luggage labels, portfolios and even the Bentley key case. All the objects, including keyrings and iPad, iPhone and Blackberry cases, have been designed using black and red leather with contrast stitching. “The initial collections were made from black English waxy hide on the outside and the distinctive Ettinger colour of panel hide on the inside which has been made and used by Ettingers for over 75 years,” explains Robert Ettinger, the head of the leather specialist. autoevolution will be attending the 2011 Geneva Motor Show, so stay tuned for some real up close and personal shots of the vehicles, as well as for first-hand details of the motorized contraptions presented at the event.
