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 thoroughly vetted by our in‑house experts and sold with our authenticity commitment. Buy with confidence.
Q: What materials is this brooch made from? Is it solid gold? A: Saint Laurent fashion jewellery typically uses plated base metal (gold‑tone or silver‑tone), sometimes with glass crystals, enamel or resin accents. It is not solid precious metal unless explicitly stated. Exact composition varies by model—please review the photos and contact us if you’d like us to confirm specifics for this piece.
Q: How does it fasten and is it secure? A: Most YSL brooches feature a pin back with a rollover (C) or safety clasp. When fastened correctly on suitable fabric, it is secure. Avoid very delicate silks and open knits to prevent pulls and consider pinning through a thicker area such as a lapel or hat band.
Q: What are the measurements and where can I wear it? A: Please refer to the Measurements section on this product page. Logo brooches are versatile—ideal for blazer lapels, coats, cardigans, berets, scarves and structured bags. If you need the precise width/height or pin length, just ask and we’ll measure it for you.
Q: Is the brooch signed and can you tell the era? A: Many Saint Laurent pieces carry hallmarks such as “YSL”, “Saint Laurent” or “Saint Laurent Paris”, sometimes with a country stamp (e.g., Made in Italy/France). Marking style and placement vary by era and collection. Our listing photos show any available stamps; we’re happy to share dating insights on request.
Q: How should I care for plated metal and any stones or enamel? A: Keep the brooch dry and away from perfume, hairspray and lotions. After wear, gently wipe with a soft, dry microfibre cloth and store separately to avoid scratches. Do not soak or use ultrasonic cleaners or chemical dips. If needed, lightly buff only the metal areas with a non‑abrasive jewellery cloth, avoiding crystals/enamel.
Q: Is it nickel‑free and suitable for sensitive skin? A: Vintage and fashion jewellery may contain nickel. If you have sensitivities, consider wearing the brooch over clothing or using a clear barrier product on contact points, and discontinue use if irritation occurs.
Q: Will it damage fabrics or tilt when worn? A: Pin through a sturdier area and catch a small amount of fabric on both entry and exit to help the brooch sit flat. For fine fabrics, place a small felt backing inside to distribute pressure and protect against pulls.
Q: Can it be worn as a pendant? A: Some brooches can be adapted with a removable brooch‑to‑pendant converter. If this piece does not have a built‑in bail, a converter may still work, but modifications can affect originality and resale value. We don’t offer in‑house alterations but can recommend specialists.
Q: What accessories are included and can I return it? A: Only accessories specifically listed or shown (e.g., box/dust pouch) are included; Saint Laurent typically does not issue separate authenticity cards for fashion jewellery. Returns are accepted—please see our Returns page for eligibility and timeframes, and review the high‑resolution photos for condition details.
