Q: How big is it and where does it look best on an outfit? A: Approx. 5.5 × 3.5 × 1 cm. Its size makes it ideal for lapels and coat collars, but it also works on knitwear, blazers, scarves, berets and even on a tote or clutch strap for a statement accent.
Q: How should I care for the gold‑tone finish? A: After wear, wipe with a soft dry cloth. If needed, clean gently with lukewarm water and a drop of mild soap, then dry thoroughly. Avoid chemicals, perfumes, lotions and abrasive cloths. Store separately in a soft pouch away from moisture and direct sunlight.
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.

Delivery & Returns
Q: What is this Saint Laurent YSL Logo Brooch made of? A: It is crafted in gold‑tone metal with a classic pin fastening at the back. As fashion jewellery, it is not solid gold; the gold‑coloured finish is applied over a base metal alloy.
Q: How big is it and where does it look best on an outfit? A: Approx. 5.5 × 3.5 × 1 cm. Its size makes it ideal for lapels and coat collars, but it also works on knitwear, blazers, scarves, berets and even on a tote or clutch strap for a statement accent.
Q: Will a brooch damage my clothes? A: Any pin can leave small holes in delicate fabrics. For safest wear, attach it to thicker or reinforced areas (lapels, seams, coat wool or denim), or add a small felt/fabric patch behind the pin to support the fabric. Avoid pinning to very fine silks or open knits.
Q: How do I keep the brooch from falling off? A: Close the clasp fully and give it a gentle tug to check. For extra security, add a small rubber earring back or a locking pin back on the tip of the pin. Pinning through two fabric layers or along a seam also helps prevent sagging or rotation.
Q: Is it unisex? A: Yes. Brooches are worn by all genders. Try it on a blazer or tuxedo lapel, centred on a jumper neckline, clustered with other pins on a coat, or to secure a scarf.
Q: Can I wear it as a pendant on a necklace? A: Yes—use a simple brooch‑to‑pendant converter that the pin slides into, so you can hang it on a chain without altering the piece.
Q: How should I care for the gold‑tone finish? A: After wear, wipe with a soft dry cloth. If needed, clean gently with lukewarm water and a drop of mild soap, then dry thoroughly. Avoid chemicals, perfumes, lotions and abrasive cloths. Store separately in a soft pouch away from moisture and direct sunlight.
Q: Does this item come with a box or accessories? A: For this piece, no accessories are included. Everything provided is listed under Accessories on this page.
Q: I have sensitive skin—is it nickel‑free? A: The exact alloy of vintage costume jewellery is not specified and may contain mixed metals. If you have sensitivities, wear it on outer layers rather than directly on skin, or use a fabric backing to minimise contact.
Q: Is it authentic and truly vintage? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously authenticated by our in‑house experts. This brooch is a vintage piece in Very Good condition with light traces of use, as noted in the Condition section.
