Bentley 1919 Collection 2026: what it includes, where to buy it and why it is limited

Bentley has unveiled the 1919 Collection — a strictly limited clothing line that will be sold only at the Goodwood Festival of Speed and Monterey Car Week in 2026. This isn’t mass-market merch from a dealer boutique but an object with an “I was there” logic: Bentley turns club belonging into a rare item, much as the marque’s cars themselves once became part of the owner’s image.

The collection was created by Mai Ikuzawa, Bentley’s external creative director. Her background fits the theme perfectly: her father, Tetsu Ikuzawa, raced in European Formula 2 for Sir Frank Williams and became one of the first Japanese drivers at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, while her grandfather was an artist. So the 1919 Collection is built not around a logo but around the link between motorsport, atelier craft and the old club spirit of the Bentley Boys and Bentley Girls.

The centrepiece is the Chore Coat in Bentley Green. The jacket is cut from hardwearing cotton oxford and meant to age alongside its owner, picking up the marks of wear. The outer pockets and fabric carry chain-stitch embroidery in Heritage White thread: the Bentley wings and the words “Bentley Motors Since 1919”. There is also a removable Velcro Full Send label — a nod to the viral clip with stunt driver Travis Pastrana and the rear-wheel-drive Bentley Supersports. Even the buttons are copper — one of those details that give away the level of the work.

The line-up also includes a sweatshirt in heavyweight 12 oz reverse weave, a short-sleeve polo, an American-style tee, a classic six-panel cotton cap, a tote bag in heavy canvas and embroidered tab keyrings. Everything comes in a palette of Bentley Green, Black and White, with production run in Japan under Ikuzawa’s personal supervision.

Pieces like these speak not to a broad audience but to owners and collectors, for whom Bentley is not just a Bentayga or a Continental GT but a marker of taste. With no open online sale, the collection works like a private club: you buy in not because you have the money but because you happened to be in the right place. And it is built to last: Bentley is planning further seasonal drops, so every garment stays rare and collectible.
