Yves Saint Laurent - Belt

YVES SAINT LAURENT

Splendid and rare original vintage belt by Yves Saint Laurent Paris, dating from the late 1980s or early 1990s. A high-level archival piece that stands out from the more common canvas versions for its entirely leather construction. The refined design combines the sturdiness of the structure with a central leather insert, finely printed or pleated leather with a horizontal straw-like pattern in ochre and light beige, evoking the iconic safari-inspired collections of the French maison.

PRECIOUS DETAILS AND AUTHENTICITY ELEMENTS
- Features the full logo "Yves Saint Laurent / Paris" embossed in gold letters on the inside and the manufacturing number "7".
- On the leather keeper there is a golden oval metal plate bearing the founder’s iconic cursive signature.
- On the back of the buckle there is a practical brown elastic insert, designed to offer maximum comfort and a perfect fit when worn over dresses or structured jackets.
- The dark buckle has a solid two-flat-screw closure on the back, a hallmark of luxury leather goods of the era.

CONDITION STATUS Grade C: Good vintage condition (Very Good / Excellent vintage condition).
