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: Is this Saint Laurent YSL Logo Brooch authentic? A: Yes. Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in‑house experts and sold with our authenticity commitment. Shop with confidence.
Q: What is it made from? Is it solid silver? A: Saint Laurent fashion jewellery brooches are typically crafted from plated base metal in a silver‑tone finish. This piece is described as silver‑toned metal with a textured YSL logo design. It is not solid sterling silver unless explicitly stated. Please review the close‑up photos and contact us if you’d like us to confirm any aspect of the composition for this brooch.
Q: What are the measurements and how noticeable will it be? A: The brooch measures approximately 5 cm (height) x 3 cm (width) x 1 cm (depth). This size offers a distinct but refined presence on lapels, coats and knitwear. If you’d like the exact gram weight or a photo on model for scale, just ask and we’ll provide it.
Q: How does it fasten and is it secure? A: It features a pin fastening at the back. For added security, you may use a small brooch stopper/locking clutch or a backing disc on the inside of the garment to stabilise the pin, especially on softer fabrics.
Q: Can I wear it on coats, knitwear, scarves or bags? A: Yes—brooches work brilliantly on structured fabrics like wool coats, blazers, denim and canvas. On delicate fabrics (silk, fine knits), test in an inconspicuous spot and consider a backing disc to prevent pulls. If pinning to a handbag, go through a reinforced area or strap to avoid marking delicate leather.
Q: What hallmarks or stamps should I expect on a Saint Laurent brooch? A: Saint Laurent costume jewellery commonly bears the SAINT LAURENT or YSL signature, and may include a country‑of‑origin mark (often Italy or France). Placement varies by season and model. Our close‑up photos show any stamps present on this piece.
Q: Is it nickel‑free and suitable for sensitive skin? A: Fashion jewellery alloys and platings may contain nickel. If you have sensitivities, wear it over thicker fabric so the metal doesn’t touch skin directly, consider a clear barrier product on contact points, and discontinue wear if irritation occurs. We’re happy to advise further if needed.
Q: How should I care for the silver‑tone finish? A: Keep it dry and away from perfume, lotions, hairspray, hand sanitiser and cleaning chemicals. After wear, gently wipe with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. Do not soak, use ultrasonic cleaners or chemical dips. Store separately in a pouch/box to prevent scratches and minimise friction that can dull the finish over time.
Q: Can it be repaired, replated or converted to a pendant? A: A competent jeweller can often tighten or replace a pin/catch and perform gentle replating. Brooch‑to‑pendant converters are available if you’d like to wear it as a necklace. We don’t offer in‑house modifications; contact us for reputable specialists. Note that alterations can affect originality and resale value.
Q: What condition should I expect, what is included, and can I return it? A: This brooch is in Very Good Condition with light signs of careful wear possible unless noted otherwise. This listing includes no accessories unless specifically shown or stated. Returns are accepted under our standard policy—please see our Returns page for eligibility, timeframes and conditions, and ensure the item is returned in the same condition received.
