Eighteen half-hides for each Rolls-Royce Phantom
13/11/2017
Speaking at the industry engagement day that the University of Northampton’s Institute for Creative Leather Technologies organised on November 9, Mr Silk said each of the company’s Phantom cars, Rolls-Royce’s largest model, consumes nine full-size hides.
He explained that the automotive company uses 18 half-hides for each Phantom. “They come split down the spine,” he said, “because whole hides are harder to handle, logistically. But the leather goes into the boot, the door panels and the instrument panel as well as the seats. The more leather, the better.”
