Delivery & Returns
Q: What are the dimensions of this brooch? A: Approximately 5.5 cm in height, 3.5 cm in width, and 1 cm in depth. Please refer to the photos for scale on a lapel or knit.
Q: What is it made of? A: It is crafted from gold‑tone metal. Saint Laurent brooches are typically made from metal alloys with a gold‑tone finish, giving a rich colour without the maintenance of solid gold.
Q: How does the closure work, and is it secure? A: It features a traditional pin closure at the back with a catch to secure it in place. Always ensure the catch is fully engaged and test it gently before wearing out.
Q: Will the pin leave marks or holes in clothing? A: Any pin can leave small perforations. To minimise marks, place a thin felt or organza backing behind the fabric, pin through thicker areas like lapels, seams or coat fabrics, and avoid very delicate materials such as fine knits, silk or lace. Magnetic converters can be used on suitable garments if you prefer not to pierce the fabric.
Q: Can I wear it on coats, knitwear, hats or on a bag? A: Yes—brooches style beautifully on blazers, coats, chunky knits, berets and scarves. For leather bags, pinning will create permanent holes; instead, attach to a strap loop, hardware tab or use a strong magnetic adapter where appropriate.
Q: Is the YSL Cassandre logo brooch unisex? A: Absolutely. Brooches are worn by all genders and look sharp on tailored jackets, outerwear and accessories. Placement and styling make it versatile for any wardrobe.
Q: Is this piece vintage and what is the condition? A: Yes, this is a vintage Saint Laurent brooch. It is graded Very Good with light traces of use, consistent with careful wear. Please review the detailed images for close‑ups of the finish and edges.
Q: What is included with my purchase? A: This listing includes the brooch only. No additional accessories (such as a box or dust bag) are included unless specified on this page.
Q: How should I care for the gold‑tone finish? A: Avoid contact with water, perfumes, lotions and cleaning chemicals. After wearing, wipe gently with a soft dry cloth and store separately in a pouch or compartment to prevent scratches. Do not use abrasive polishes or ultrasonic cleaners on plated/gold‑tone pieces.
Q: How do you authenticate this brooch? A: Every piece at A Retro Tale is rigorously authenticated by our in‑house experts, checking materials, construction, logo typography and engravings against known references. We stand behind the authenticity of all items and can share additional photos or details on request.
