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

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:
