The headliner is the Rolls-Royce Cullinan, of course. Still, the experts over at Carlex Design haven't neglected the Mercedes-AMG G 63, Lamborghini Urus, Ferrari Purosangue, Aston Martin DBX, Range Rover 'Vogue,' and Bentley Bentayga either.
Carlex Design, the Polish expert for automotive extravaganza, has invented the 'Himalaya Collection,' which mixes Himalaya leather with diamond dust! That's the quick take, for sure, because if we dive deeper – there are a lot more exquisite ideas going around. So, last week, the company announced the impending arrival of the collector's special series, and among the hints were not just Himalaya leather or the labor-of-love procedure to collect diamond dust; there were also things like engraved silver on steering wheels!

Obviously, Carlex is trying to achieve a significant milestone in their business and compete with collections set up by the automakers. However, unlike Rolls-Royce or Ferrari, they can access more than one model. So, what really makes this ensemble truly unique is that it reunites seven of the most ultra-luxurious SUVs in the world and bundles them into "an extraordinary collector's edition inspired by a passion for high craftsmanship and luxurious materials."

Even better, the 'Himalaya Collection' has just a few examples of each SUV – Cullinan, G 63, Urus, Purosangue, DBX, Range Rover, and Bentayga. That means exclusivity and choice are ensured from the get-go. However, there are a few interesting caveats. First, this is just the first collection in a series. Secondly, the 'Seven Elysia' program will include a new collection based on these same seven models, with each model produced in a limited quantity of only seven pieces – exactly 49 SUVs in total. Thirdly, these collections will come every February, so we're going to have to tune in for the next several years if we want to see them all!

As for the 'Himalaya Collection' part of the 'Seven Elysia' program, it will be inspired by "mother nature" just like its brethren – and these natural materials include precious metals, stones, and leather. For the exterior, the aftermarket outlet has prepared a hand-brushed paint embedded with their proprietary diamond dust coating technology. All SUVs are also adorned with hand-engraved 'relief,' characteristic of some previous Carlex works using silver, while the wheels mirror the theme of the bodywork.

Inside, the company wants to transfer its owners into "a new dimension of luxury." After 12 months of hard work, the cockpits use loads of Himalaya leather provided by a recognized European manufacturer of "the most expensive collector's handbags." These are mixed and matched with additional white gold and diamond dust-coated leathers, the latter even receiving a warranty for its durability. That's not all, as there is also stuff like soft-touch Nappa leather, porcelain, and silver engraving on the steering wheel, at least in the case of the Rolls-Royce Cullinan.
