Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: What size is the Saint Laurent Small YSL Cassandra Brooch? A: This brooch measures approximately 5 cm in height, 1.5 cm in width, and 0.5 cm in depth. It is a compact statement piece that adds a refined logo accent without feeling oversized.
Q: What does the Cassandra design refer to? A: The Cassandra motif refers to Saint Laurent’s iconic interlocking YSL monogram, one of the house’s most recognisable signatures. It gives the brooch a distinctly branded vintage look while remaining elegant and easy to style.
Q: How does this brooch fasten? A: It features a classic pin closure. This style is easy to secure on jackets, coats, scarves, and other structured fabrics.
Q: Where is the best place to wear a brooch like this? A: The most traditional placement is on the left lapel or upper chest, but it can also be worn on the right side, at the neckline, on a scarf, or on a hat for a more modern look. Because this is a smaller logo brooch, it works well as either a subtle accent or a polished focal point.
Q: Will it damage delicate fabrics? A: Like most pin brooches, it is best suited to structured materials such as blazers, coats, denim, or thicker knitwear. On delicate silk or fine knits, we recommend fastening it through a reinforced area, seam, folded section, or scarf to help avoid visible pin marks or strain on the fabric.
Q: What condition is this brooch in? A: This vintage piece is rated Very Good Condition. The hardware remains shiny, with light scratches consistent with gentle previous use.
Q: Does it come with any original packaging or accompanying items? A: No. According to the product information for this piece, it is sold without any accompanying items.
Q: How should I care for the gold-tone metal? A: To help preserve the finish, avoid direct contact with perfume, water, chlorine, lotions, and other chemicals. Wipe it gently with a soft dry cloth after wear and store it separately in a pouch or jewellery box to reduce scratches.
Q: Is this made of solid gold? A: No, it is described as a gold-tone metal brooch rather than solid gold jewellery. It offers the signature Saint Laurent look in a versatile fashion-jewellery format.
Q: How do you authenticate this brooch? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully reviewed by in-house experts using detailed checks of materials, finish, engravings, branding, and overall construction. We stand behind the authenticity of the pieces we sell.
