Saint Laurent YSL Logo Brooch

Q: What size is the Saint Laurent YSL Logo Brooch?
A: It measures approximately 7 cm high, 2.5 cm wide and 1 cm deep. The elongated logo shape gives it a noticeable statement look without feeling overly bulky.

Q: What is the brooch made from?
A: This piece is crafted in gold-tone metal. It has the look of polished gold-coloured jewellery rather than solid gold.

Q: How does it fasten?
A: It features a classic pin fastening on the back, designed to secure neatly to a lapel, coat, knitwear or scarf.

Q: Is this a vintage or current Saint Laurent brooch?
A: This listing is for a vintage Saint Laurent piece. It features the iconic intertwined YSL monogram associated with the house’s Cassandre logo.

Q: What condition is it in?
A: It is listed in Very Good Condition. The hardware remains shiny, with light surface scratches consistent with careful previous use.

Q: Will it work on delicate fabrics?
A: As with most brooches, it is best suited to slightly more structured fabrics such as blazers, coats, jackets and denser knitwear. On delicate silk or very fine materials, the pin may leave a small hole.

Q: How can I style a YSL logo brooch?
A: The most classic placement is on the left lapel, but it also works beautifully at the collar, on a scarf, on outerwear or pinned to knitwear for a more modern look.

Q: How should I care for vintage gold-tone jewellery like this?
A: Wipe it gently with a soft, dry cloth after wear and keep it away from perfume, water, chlorine and harsh cleaning products. Store it separately in a soft pouch or box to help prevent scratches.

Q: What is included with the brooch?
A: No extra items are listed in the product information for this piece, so it should be purchased as the brooch only unless otherwise stated on the product page.

Q: How do you authenticate this brooch?
A: A Retro Tale carefully vets all items before sale, assessing details such as branding, materials, finish and overall construction to support authenticity.
