what kind of leather's brand Bentley use and where to buy it?
Hello,
I want to recover my Bmw with the Bentley leather...
i don't know what kind of the leather Bentley use which gave a special smell which last over 10 years...and the leather so so nice and soft.
I wonder where can I buy it in a roll so I can recover my BMW.

Bentley would not provide any detail on what, who, where they source their hides. They would however, sell us a complete set of pre-assembled seat covers to replace the originals. The factory price would bring tears to your eyes.
It took my trim supplier (Diamond Trim in Aurora, Ontario) three months to source the original colour-matched hides for my seats. Sadly, I don't know the name of the leather supplier but I know they are in California. It took four complete hides to do the front and back seats. Each hide cost over $1,300.00 (cdn$). On top of that, I had to suffer the cost of cutting, sewing, making and installing the new hides.
The workmanship was so good that even the local Bentley dealer swore they were original. My car has the Saffron (butter yellow) interior and the hides still look new after five years. Granted, I don't drive the car much. I was warned not to use ANYTHING to preserve the leather (other than a mild dish soap to remove any staining). To this day, they still give off that rich, aromatic leather smell.

I haven't used this company but was thinking of getting some cross-hatch panels made for that Mulliner look.

I went to a local MA leather upholstery shop to get a quote for fixing my sagging headliner. He was able to pull out of his samples the exact leather from my 06 GT. So it is out there, ask a pro and it should be a cake walk for them to source it.
