For car collaborations, this is a match made in heaven. Hermès is a fantastic luxury brand and they’re even better at what they do. What we have here is Rolls-Royce, Hermès partnership. Introducing the Rolls-Royce Bespoke Phantom Oribe in collaboration with Hermès. Commissioned by none other than Japanese entrepreneur, art collector, and supercar pundit Yusaku Maezawa.
Widely based on the Phantom VIII, this car comes beautifully curated by both Rolls-Royce and Hermès in and out. Showcasing their expertise in selecting the perfect materials, techniques, and intelligence from both brands to create a one of a kind machine. They drew inspiration from Maezawa’s recently purchased private jet. He wanted the Rolls-Royce to play as his “land jet”. The interior pulls inspiration from his private collection of ancient Japanese ceramics. This is where we get the “MZ Oribe Green” and “Cream” color scheme. Making this car truly one of one.

Regarding the interior specifically, it comes draped in a beautiful “Enea Green” leather. Each touch point of the car comes in this lush leather. The steering wheel, duchess handles, gear selector, as well as the climate control setting buttons. The leather even comes in places you wouldn’t expect such as the inside of the glovebox, the luggage compartment, and the champagne cooler. One notable feature is the glove-box’s exterior comes detailed with a hand-embossed signature reading “Habillé par Hermès Paris.”
The luxury Hermès touches continue with the piping around the headrest cushions and calf supports on the rear seats. You’ll also find “Seashell White” accents and lambswool floor mats. Both come together to showcase how spacious the Rolls-Royce Phantom is. As for Rolls-Royce’s contributions regarding the interior, they cover whatever’s left. The speaker frets, doors, rear consoles, picnic tables, and “Open Pore Royal Walnut” veneer. Paired with Hermès “Toile H” canvas-covered door armrests, center and rear console accents, and headliner.
Detailing doesn’t end there, as Hermès commissioned an artwork based on some of its historic scarves designed by Pierre Péron to cover the veneer before encasing the art behind glass. The result creates what Rolls-Royce calls the “gallery,” all while playing into Hermès’ equestrian heritage. You can take a look at the one-of-a-kind Hermès Rolls-Royce Bespoke Phantom Oribe for Yusaku Maezawa in the gallery above.
