Michelle Yeoh – bonafide Hollywood actress, producer and supporter of arts, culture and worthy causes – can now add 'designer' to her list of growing talents. As ambassador of leading manufacturer of handcrafted luxury mobile phones Vertu, Yeoh has inspired and co-designed the Constellation Vivre Collection with Vertu’s principal designer Frank Nuovo.

The lush foliage of Yeoh’s home in Malaysia provided the spark which led to the stylised leaf design on Vertu’s best-selling handset, the Vertu Constellation. Delicately stitched with metal-thread on the leather back plate, the ornate, nature-inspired pattern is also hand engraved onto the stainless steel bezel of the handset.

For those who love a bit of sparkle, both the Constellation Vivre Pink and the Constellation Vivre Black Limited Edition with Rose Gold Bezel come with a sprinkling of white diamonds to beautify a selection of the leaves.

Made of the finest leather, the handsets also come in Ocean Blue and Fuchsia. The Vertu Constellation Vivre Collection ranges from S$10,000 to S$40,000 per handset.
