"YVES SAINT LAURENT" 80's-90's Logo engraved tassel detail bag

Deterioration, clasp malfunction, scratches on the back of the shoulder strap

Since its founding in 1962, the brand has been known as the king of fashion and continues to fascinate many people.

We would like to introduce you to an iconic masterpiece from YVES SAINT LAURENT.

This masterpiece features an impressive punched "Y" logo and tassel details.

The soft, familiar black leather features a serged stitching that runs around the edge of the flap, and the shape, which is gathered softly along that line, evokes a balance of bohemian and elegance that is typical of Saint Laurent from the 1980s to early 1990s. A "Y" motif, not a metal piece but a punched one, subtly stands out in the center of the flap, allowing you to enjoy the brand's signature in a subtle way.

The interior details are the key to determining that this bag is a vintage item from the late 1980s to early 1990s. Opening the top reveals a lining woven entirely with the YSL monogram, a pattern commonly seen on bags and licensed lines from that time. Another key to identifying the bag's age is the rectangular metal plate tag near the top, engraved with the "Yves Saint Laurent" logo. The combination of this metal plate and all-over monogram pattern differs from both the foil-stamped logo-focused designs of the 1970s and earlier, and the modern logo tags of the 2000s and later, making it a highly reliable clue that this is a Saint Laurent item from the late 1980s to early 1990s.

The exterior is made of generously thick leather, and the gathers under the flap create a soft, rounded shape for the entire bag. The overlock stitching is more than just decorative; it emphasizes the three-dimensional effect and visually tightens the flap line. The leather tassel that hangs from the center creates a vertical rhythm, and the way it sways with every step adds a somewhat sensual mood.

When you open the flap, you'll see a compartmented interior that offers excellent storage capacity. It allows you to organize your small belongings while still enjoying the world of Monogram, making it a design that is both practical and uplifting.

Yves Saint Laurent's specialty was a style that mixed couture elegance with folklore and ethnic elements, and this bag strongly reflects that spirit. Rather than using gold hardware that makes the logo stand out, the bag expresses the brand's identity through craft-inspired details such as punching, stitching, and tassels, resulting in a design that is understated yet rich enough that only the owner can appreciate, and this is a major added value that is unique to this bag.

In terms of styling, it looks great draped over the shoulders of a tailored jacket or long coat, adding a touch of vintage vibe to an urban pants style, or paired with a flowing dress for a classic Saint Laurent feel.

Please take this opportunity.
