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 this Saint Laurent YSL Cassandre Brooch? A: This brooch measures approximately 5.5 x 3.5 x 0.5 cm. It is a noticeable logo brooch that works well on a blazer lapel, coat, knitwear, scarf or hat without feeling oversized.
Q: What is the brooch made from? A: This piece is finished in gold-tone metal and features the iconic Cassandre YSL logo. As with most fashion jewellery, it should be handled with care to help preserve the finish over time.
Q: How does it fasten? A: It has a pin closure at the back. For the best hold, fasten it through slightly heavier fabrics such as wool, denim, suiting or structured knits, and take extra care with very delicate materials.
Q: What condition is this brooch in? A: It is listed in Very Good Condition. The hardware remains shiny and shows light scratches consistent with gentle previous use.
Q: Does this item come with a box or other product information? A: No. This piece is sold with no accessories, so no box, pouch or other product information is included unless stated otherwise on the product page.
Q: Is this a vintage Saint Laurent piece? A: Yes, this brooch is listed as vintage. Vintage Saint Laurent jewellery can vary slightly from current-season versions in finish, proportions and detailing, which is part of its appeal.
Q: How can I style a Cassandre brooch? A: A Cassandre brooch is most often worn on a blazer or coat lapel, but it can also be used on a jumper, scarf, collar or hat for a polished statement.
Q: How should I care for gold-tone metal brooches like this? A: Wipe it gently with a soft, dry cloth after wear and store it separately in a dry place to help avoid scratches. Keep it away from perfume, hairspray, water and abrasive cleaners, as these can affect the surface finish.
Q: Will the brooch show wear over time? A: Like most gold-tone metal brooches, it can develop light surface scratches or finish wear with regular use, especially if rubbed against bags, zips or other hard items. This example already shows light scratches, so careful storage is recommended.
Q: How do you authenticate Saint Laurent jewellery? A: At A Retro Tale, every item is reviewed by experts using brand-specific details such as construction, finish, hardware, markings and overall craftsmanship. We only sell pieces that have passed our authenticity checks.
