Delivery & Returns
Q: What style is this Saint Laurent brooch? A: This is a Saint Laurent YSL brooch featuring the iconic Cassandre monogram in antique gold-tone brass with an engraved snake texture. It is a compact statement piece that adds a polished logo accent to jackets, coats, knitwear, scarves or bags.
Q: How does the brooch fasten? A: It has a pin clasp fastening with a safety hook. This style is designed to feel more secure than a basic open pin, helping the brooch stay in place when attached properly to structured fabric.
Q: What are the dimensions of this brooch? A: According to the product information, the brooch measures approximately 3 cm in width and 0.5 cm in depth. Please note that only the listed measurements should be used as the reference for size.
Q: Where is the best place to wear a brooch like this? A: A brooch like this is most often worn on a blazer lapel, coat collar, knitwear, scarf or the chest area of a structured top. For the neatest look, pin it onto fabric with enough structure to support the piece without pulling or puckering.
Q: Will this brooch damage delicate fabrics? A: As with most brooches, the pin can leave a small hole, especially in very fine or delicate fabrics such as silk or lightweight knits. Structured materials like wool, denim, tweed and blazer fabrics are usually better suited to this type of fastening.
Q: How should I care for antique gold-tone brass? A: To help preserve the finish, wipe it gently with a soft dry cloth after wear and keep it away from water, perfume, hairspray, lotions and harsh cleaning products. Store it separately in a dry place to reduce scratching and natural tarnishing over time.
Q: What condition is this brooch in? A: This piece is listed in Very Good Condition. The hardware is described as shiny with light scratches, which is consistent with gentle previous wear and typical for a pre-owned vintage or second-hand accessory.
Q: Is anything included with the brooch? A: No, this item comes with no accessories. If you would like confirmation of what is included, please refer to the product information for the most accurate overview.
Q: How can I check authenticity details on the brooch itself? A: The reverse is engraved with Saint Laurent Paris, which is a key design detail for this style. As always with pre-owned luxury pieces, authenticity should be assessed through the full combination of engraving, finish, construction, materials and overall design consistency rather than a single feature alone.
