Bill Amberg to make luggage set for new Aston Martin launch
07/02/2011
For the launch, there will be two limited edition versions of the car, a black one and a white one. “Craftsmanship and meticulous attention to detail characterise each Cygnet, and the extremely high levels of interior finish are exemplified by the choice of materials and colours on these two unique models.”
Cygnet Launch Edition White is finished in snow white paint with a mix of silver mesh, chrome brightwork and White Diamond turned alloy wheels. The interior of the White edition features seats hand trimmed in pearl white leather complemented by satin chrome. Unfortunately, the interior of the white model also includes perforated inserts in synthetic material.
In contrast, Cygnet Launch Edition Black features pure black full grain leather, perforated in a specially-developed diamond pattern. Dark chrome accents adorn the cabin, while the wings badges are rendered in black throughout.
Both Cygnet Launch Editions also come with a bespoke Bill Amberg five-piece luggage set, especially designed by the London-based specialist leather designer for the Cygnet. The set comprises glove box bag, removable door pocket bag, holdall, garment bag and a collapsible tote bag.
The Cygnet is the eighth major production car Aston Martin has introduced at its state-of-the art Gaydon facility, in Warwickshire in the English midlands, since 2004. It will be assembled in a new dedicated facility by the same skilled local workforce of technicians and craftspeople that create Aston Martin’s sports cars. Production commences in April 2011 but the cars are on sale already through the brand’s European dealership network. Prices start from £30,995.
