Delivery & Returns
Q: What are the dimensions of this YSL logo brooch? A: This piece measures approximately 5.5 × 3.5 cm. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for the exact sizing and profile.
Q: What is it made from? A: Saint Laurent monogram brooches are typically crafted in gold‑toned metal, often brass, with a pin clasp and safety catch. This vintage piece is finished in gold tone and was made in Italy.
Q: How secure is the fastening and how do I attach it? A: It uses a standard pin with a safety hook. To fasten, guide the pin through the fabric at a shallow angle and close the catch until fully engaged. For thicker coats, anchor it through the lapel or a seam for extra hold.
Q: Will a brooch damage my clothes? A: Pinning is best on structured fabrics such as wool, denim and tailored blazers. Delicate materials like silk, satin, fine knits and leather can mark or stretch. Use a small felt backing or a magnetic brooch adapter to avoid holes, and avoid piercing leather directly.
Q: Where does a brooch look best on an outfit? A: Classic placements include the left lapel of a blazer, the shoulder of a coat, the neckline of a jumper, or on a scarf or beret. Larger pieces work best on structured outerwear; keep proportions balanced for a polished look.
Q: Can I wear it as a pendant? A: Yes. A simple brooch‑to‑pendant converter slides over the pin so you can hang it on a chain without altering the piece.
Q: Is this style unisex? A: Absolutely. The YSL monogram brooch is a timeless, unisex design that looks sharp on tailored jackets, tuxedo lapels and overcoats.
Q: How should I care for gold‑tone brass jewellery? A: Wipe with a soft, dry cloth after wear. Avoid contact with water, perfume and lotions, and store it in a dry pouch away from humidity. Mild, pH‑neutral soap and water can be used sparingly on bare brass, then dry thoroughly. Avoid abrasive polishes or dips which may remove the finish.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information section on this page. If a dust bag or box isn’t listed there, it isn’t included.
Q: How do you authenticate this piece? A: Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes a multi‑point inspection by in‑house experts, including checks of materials, construction, hardware and logos. Contemporary Saint Laurent jewellery often bears a Saint Laurent Paris signature, while older pieces can vary. We guarantee the authenticity of all items we sell.
