New Bentley bags inspired by speed The Barnato handbag is named after Diana Barnato Walker MBE - daughter of Woolf Barnato, one of the founding Bentley Boys and former Bentley chairman - who was a pilot, and became the first British woman to break the sound barrier, in 1963. Bentley says the Continental handbag is inspired by the car range of the same name, and that both new bags contrast simple, sculptural exterior design, with luxurious yet practical interiors. The Barnato is priced at £4,800 and the Continental Handbag costs £3,800. Both go on sale in mid-August. More information about Bentley's new handbags - and the events taking place at Goodwood this month - can be found in the August issue of Goodwood's monthly newsletter, Gad About Goodwood.
