Aston Martin Cygnet

Aston Martin and Colette collaborate on Cygnet

23 June 2011 - Aston Martin has joined forces with Parisian fashion authority colette to produce the strictly limited edition; 'Cygnet & colette' luxury city car. To celebrate the collaboration, 14 examples of the 'Cygnet & colette' city car will be hand-crafted via the company's personalisation service; Aston Martin Works Tailored which offers limitless options personalised precisely to customer specification through the marque's Works Service facility.

The Aston Martin design team worked closely with their counterparts at Colette to create the striking limited edition which features Lightning Silver paint with exclusive colette blue styling details including a race collection inspired front bumper and bonnet livery, mirror caps and diamond turned road wheels. The Bitter Chocolate themed interior takes inspiration from colette's mascot Oscar, the chocolate-brown Labrador.

The Works Tailored team has created unique 'Cygnet & Colette' elements including:

Stainless steel hand formed and engraved door handle badges
'Cygnet & Colette' branded hand enamelled boot badging manufactured by Thomas Fattorini
Quilted Alcantara sun visors to complement the quilted leather door and seat inserts
Hand trimmed, quilted Colette blue leather occasional cushions for the rear seats
'Cygnet & Colette' branding on satellite navigation start up
A unique 'Cygnet & Colette' key ring machined from solid aluminium with blue enamelling

Launched in May 2011 with first customer orders arriving at European dealers now, Cygnet is hand-crafted for the city and like every Aston Martin it can be uniquely personalised to suit individual taste and style, bringing a new level of luxury and bespoke capability to city cars.

The Colette team focussed on materials, colours and styling to create its limited edition Cygnet demonstrating the extent to which an individual or organisation can tailor anyAston Martin to their own personal exacting taste with the company's Works Tailored programme.

Orders for the 14 'Cygnet & colette' pieces can be placed through the Colette store in Paris for delivery by the end of the year. Prices start from €48,995.
