The blogger said that on July 2, 25‑year‑old collector Tamayev asked Bugatti’s head, Mate, for a piece of interior leather to make a custom jacket. He promised to sell the skin after using it and warned that if the company refused, he would buy a third Bugatti and publicly “spoil the brand’s reputation.” He gave Mate exactly 24 hours to change his mind.
Tamayev, born in 1999, is a well‑known Russian influencer and collector. In early 2023 he purchased a Bugatti Veyron that belonged to Cristiano Ronaldo for about 9 млн долларов. The seller also gave him a soccer ball with the player’s signature, a T‑shirt, and a luxury watch as a gift.
Online users reacted with mixed feelings. Some praised his boldness and called it a fresh way to promote collector culture, while others criticized the pressure on a luxury brand, noting that rare interior materials are not meant for personal use. Many expressed curiosity about what the third Bugatti would be and joked about the promised “show.”
According to industry insiders, the case highlights the limited availability of original interior leather for private buyers. Legally, Bugatti can keep the material as proprietary, and denying a request does not create a contractual breach. From a PR standpoint, granting the request could turn into a buzz‑worthy story, whereas refusing it may lead to negative coverage, especially given the collector’s willingness to spend large sums on premium cars.
If you are interested in turning such moments into a business idea, consider launching a niche brand that offers exclusive leather items or limited‑edition collector’s gear. By partnering with car manufacturers and providing a “designer’s cut” of original interior material, you could create a new market without pressuring the parent brand.
