Archival Vintage Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche Burgundy Leather & Multi-Gemstone Cabochon Statement Belt (1980s)
Description:A museum-grade, highly coveted collector's piece from the peak 1980s era of Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche. This runway-caliber belt beautifully exhibits the "brutalist luxury" hardware aesthetics and bold multi-gemstone palettes popularized by M. Saint Laurent.The exterior strap is crafted from a rich burgundy genuine leather featuring zero dry cracking, zero peeling, and beautifully preserved edges. The centerpiece is a heavy, polished gold-tone crescent horn buckle. Spaced along the strap are intricate, openwork gold-plated coin medallions showcasing a Celtic endless-loop motif over a stippled background.What makes this specific piece incredibly rare is the alternating four-color sequence of square pyramid gemstone cabochons: ruby red, bright turquoise, deep lapis lazuli blue, and marbled jade green. Archival multi-stone variants of this specific configuration rarely appear on the open market in such pristine structural condition.Measurements:Total Length (excluding buckle): [Insert measurement, e.g., 85 cm]Strap Width: [Insert measurement, e.g., 3.5 cm]Wearable Fit Range: [Insert measurement, e.g., 70 cm - 80 cm] (Measured from the buckle prong to the first and last adjustment holes)Condition Report:Exterior: Mint vintage condition.
