A striking piece of 1990s Yves Saint Laurent archival eyewear, distinguished by its sculptural cut-out logo hinge — a design detail rarely seen on the brand’s more common temple-logo styles of the era. Rendered in rich tortoiseshell acetate with warm amber and mahogany tones throughout, the frame is finished with polished gold-tone hardware and the iconic interlocking YSL emblem in gold and black enamel at the temple.
Signed ‘Yves Saint Laurent Paris’ with reference 31-5505 stamped at the inner temple, alongside UV protection markings confirming original, unaltered lenses. The brown tinted lenses remain in good condition. Comes with the original tan suede-effect dust pouch.
A true collector’s piece for anyone building out an archive of Yves Saint Laurent eyewear — the kind of sculptural detailing rarely replicated in later collections.
