Yves Saint Laurent 80s-90s Diamond Quilted Design Leather Bag

Marking elegance and freedom in the history of fashion, and guiding everyday attire toward refinement along with the philosophy of Rive Gauche, Yves Saint Laurent presents an iconic masterpiece.

This exquisite piece features a beautiful box silhouette that symbolizes the Japanese domestic license period of Yves Saint Laurent.

As the primary basis for dating, the decisive factor is the inscription "Kabushiki Kaisha Nishikawa" on the accompanying card, which aligns with the context of domestic licensed production handled by the company from the late 1980s to early 1990s. Additionally, the card's typesetting, the packaging with a portrait of Monsieur Saint Laurent, and the font balance and chamfering of the internal elongated logo plate strongly support this range.

The design features a neat flap made of smooth leather at the top, contrasting with the diamond quilting running through the lower half, beautifully balancing the visual focus. A belt tab is placed in the center, maintaining the straight-line feel while creating shadows, leaving an impression of tension that does not simply end as "classic."

The hardware is discreet, quietly reflecting light along the square form, further emphasizing the bag's structure. The strap conforms to the body's lines, providing a good fit when held, and is designed to seamlessly integrate into daily life as an extension of formal wear.

And, as a virtue of this piece, the contrast between the stoic exterior and the red interior revealed through the opening and closing gestures can be noted. The composition of calmness on the outside and strength on the inside embodies the elegance characteristic of Saint Laurent at the time, realized with the precision of domestic craftsmanship.

For styling, it is recommended to match with minimal tailored jackets or neat coats, aligning the tension with straight silhouettes. Alternatively, pairing with dress-like one-pieces or shirt dresses to highlight the construction beauty of the bag within your gestures is also good. For evening wear, combining with sharp slacks or elegant loafers can modernly reference the spirit of "Le Smoking" left by Monsieur.

Please take this opportunity.
