ESTEDE AND BENTLEY: THE PARTNERSHIP
The perfect partner for Bentley Eyewear, Estede has created bespoke, handcrafted, luxury pieces since 1991. Founded by design mastermind Albrecht F. Rosenaur, Estede consistently champions the use of craft skills and precious metals to create some of the world’s most extraordinary eyewear.
It was no surprise then, that in 2010 Estede was selected to be Bentley’s exclusive, global partner for eyewear. The companies share a passion for quality and the pursuit of perfection, seamlessly combining exquisite craftsmanship with the latest technology.
This combination of performance and sleek, modern design is unmistakably Bentley, as are the subtle elements of individuality unique to every piece.
Expertly crafted just like a Bentley, each frame is handcrafted from exceptional materials including solid gold, platinum, titanium, buffalo horn and wood, along with the finest custom-made lenses. This eye-catching sculptural styling delivers contemporary, practical sunglasses and ophthalmic frames.
EXCLUSIVE EYEWEAR IN DESIGN & MATERIAL
The Bentley Eyewear Collection showcases a fusion of functional performance and sleek design. This combination is made all the more extraordinary by the subtle, unique flourishes of individuality that are added to every piece.
In the same vein as a bespoke Bentley car itself, each piece has been skilfully handcrafted from exceptional materials – solid gold and platinum, titanium, horn and wood. Only the finest Zeiss and custom-made Japanese lenses are selected for use in the Bentley sunglasses range.
Sculptural styling delivers easy to wear, contemporary sunglasses – at home in both formal and informal settings, whatever the occasion demands.
BESPOKE CRAFTSMANSHIP
The collaboration between Bentley Motors and Estede began with a limited-edition series of solid gold sunglasses and ophthalmic frames, proving to be an instant success. Estede’s extensive experience in creating luxury eyewear made them the perfect foil for Bentley’s sophisticated design language.
The timeless yet modern style of the initial pieces are available in either 18 karat solid gold or platinum. The characteristic Bentley ‘B’, together with carefully engraved surfaces evoking Bentley’s sumptuous leather quilting, are some of the leading hallmarks of the first collection.
Only the finest lenses can be incorporated into Bentley sunglasses. Offering 100% UV protection, they reflect the latest in lens technology and state-of-the-art coatings.
It is this extraordinary ability to create stunningly individual accessories that makes Bentley Eyewear the perfect accessory. By combining unrivalled craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology, the Collection’s designs have achieved a rareness and beauty matched only by that of a Bentley itself.
