an embroidered phantom presented in dubai
Rolls-Royce has unveiled a one-of-one embroidered Phantom Dentelle in Dubai, commissioned by a Middle Eastern client as a gift for their father. The automotive project was overseen by the brand’s Private Office Dubai, a regional hub dedicated to personal commissions.
The design takes inspiration from a piece of rare couture lace, chosen for its intricate floral elements and luminous texture. Crafted on a traditional Leavers loom, the lace’s dimensional detailing informed both the embroidered interior and bespoke exterior finish.

160,000 stitches create intricate interiors
Inside the Roll-Royce, the full-width Gallery — a defining feature of the Phantom — displays a custom embroidered panel. Rolls-Royce designers interpreted the lace through over 160,000 stitches, layering eight embroidery techniques in colors such as Rose Gold, Sunrise, and Oatmeal.
The result is a mesh-like base made with a triple-run stitch, overlaid with satin and raised embroidery to evoke the sheen and contours of couture floral forms. The stitching captures shifts in light, creating a quiet shimmer throughout the cabin.

Echoing the Gallery, the Waterfall between the rear seats is embroidered with 70,000 additional stitches. Its pattern continues the lace-inspired motif with tonal harmony and detailed botanical elements. Rose Gold finishes appear throughout, including on the speaker grilles and treadplates.
The interior is upholstered in a pairing of Sunrise and Grace White leathers. RR monograms are embroidered into the headrests, and the veneer surfaces are rendered in a high-gloss Piano White.

The Phantom Dentelle’s exterior is finished in a two-tone palette of Crystal over Arctic White and Crystal over Palais Nemasker Dawn — a bespoke color reserved for the client. A double coachline in Sunrise resolves in a hand-painted branch motif, referencing the embroidery within.
The 22-inch polished Disc wheels include body-colored centers and Arctic White pinstripes. The polished Pantheon Grille is topped with a Rose Gold Spirit of Ecstasy, a detail echoed in the engraved treadplates.
