Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: What are the measurements of this Saint Laurent brooch? A: Approximately 7 cm high, 3 cm wide and 0.5 cm deep. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for the exact figures.
Q: How do I fasten a brooch securely without it drooping? A: Open the rotating safety clasp, place the pin through a stable part of the fabric (a lapel, seam or tightly woven area), close the clasp fully, and check it is locked. For extra support, you can place a small piece of felt on the inside of the garment to stabilise the pin.
Q: Can I wear it on delicate fabrics like silk or fine knits? A: Pinholes can show on delicate materials. If you wish to wear it on finer fabrics, consider positioning along a seam, using a small fabric backing inside, or opting for a magnetic brooch holder to avoid piercing the cloth.
Q: Can I style it on a handbag? A: Many people decorate canvas or fabric straps with brooches. If your bag is leather, be aware that pinning may leave permanent pinholes; a magnetic holder is a safer alternative for non‑fabric surfaces.
Q: How can I style this brooch for a modern look? A: Classic placements include the left blazer lapel, the shoulder of a knit jumper, or securing a scarf or beret. For a contemporary feel, try clustering with other pins or contrasting it against casual pieces like denim or a leather jacket.
Q: Can this brooch be worn as a pendant? A: Yes. A simple brooch‑to‑pendant converter slides over the pin so you can hang the brooch on a chain. No alteration to the brooch is required.
Q: Is this brooch unisex? A: Absolutely. Brooches are widely worn by all genders—on blazers, coats and eveningwear—and are enjoying a strong style revival.
Q: How should I care for the black‑finish metal? A: Keep it dry and avoid contact with perfume, hairspray, lotions, saltwater or chlorine. Wipe with a soft, dry cloth after wear and store separately in a pouch or box to minimise surface rubbing.
Q: What is included and is it authentic? A: Everything included is listed under the product information section for this listing. Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously authenticated by our in‑house experts before it is offered for sale.
Q: Where was it made and what is the condition? A: Country of origin is Italy. Condition is noted as Very Good with light trace of use; please review the photos and product information for full details.
