Bentley Denver and Sarasota local, luxury handbag designer BSWANKY, based in Sarasota, hosted an exclusive two-day event that brought together collectors and connoisseurs from across the country to celebrate luxury, design and innovation.

Held at the newly renovated Bentley Denver showroom, the event featured a curated display of BSWANKY’s handcrafted handbags, including limited-edition pieces made with repurposed vintage Bentley hardware.

 “These one-of-a-kind handbags are as bespoke and exceptional as every Bentley, handcrafted for those who appreciate the finer details,” said Gretchen Bauer, founder of BSWANKY.

Guests enjoyed fine wines from Wine of the Seas, gourmet dishes by Jimmy’s Jersey Street Cafe and floral artwork by A Joy Above Us.

“This event was a true celebration of Bentley’s essence—luxury, craftsmanship and extraordinary experiences,” said Jacquie Palisi, director of marketing at Bentley Denver.
