Quotable: Victoria Beckham’s childhood memories of riding in Rolls-Royces inspired the design of her Range Rover

This weekend in Beijing, Victoria Beckham revealed a very luxurious Range Rover that she helped design. While some of its features seem standard for a $128,000 vehicle—rose gold accents on the grill and a hand-finished matte paint job, no big deal—other elements were chosen because of a personal connection. The mohair floor mats, for instance, were inspired by Beckham’s childhood memories of sitting barefoot in her father’s Rolls-Royce. And, like any good designer, she made sure to check out a whole suite of high-end toys before getting started:

“When I first started working with the team I did a lot of research, and created mood boards to show the team my love of timeless and classic design. I looked at yachts, luxury jets and classic cars.”
