Description from the seller
YVES SAINT LAURENT
Splendid and rare vintage original Yves Saint Laurent Paris belt, dating from the late 1980s or early 1990s. A high-grade archival piece that stands out from the more common canvas versions for a construction entirely in leather. The refined design combines the durability of the structure with a central leather insert, finely stamped or pleated (pleated leather) with a horizontal stripe pattern in ochre and light beige, reminiscent of the iconic safari-inspired collections of the French house.
PRIZED DETAILS AND AUTHENTICITY ELEMENTS
- Features the full logo "Yves Saint Laurent / Paris" imprinted in gold letters inside and the manufacturing number "7".
- On the leather belt loop is applied a golden oval metal plate with the founder’s iconic cursive signature.
- On the back of the buckle is integrated a practical brown elastic insert, designed to offer maximum comfort and a flawless fit when worn over dresses or structured jackets.
- The dark buckle features 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).
The belt shows good structural condition and is perfectly usable. The outer grain leather is intact, free of cuts or deep scratches. Being a vintage light-colored leather item, it shows normal and natural signs of time related to use (slight shading or darkening due to rubbing near the attachment holes and a characteristic patina on the metal parts). The double perimeter beige stitching is firmly in place.
YEAR OF PRODUCTION: Late 1980s / Early 1990s.
RETAIL PRICE: Approximately € 380.00 – € 450.00
Technical Specifications:
Measurements:
Length: 85 cm up to the central hole for optimal waist circumference, 100 cm total length
Height: 2 cm
