Vintage 1980s Yves Saint Laurent YSL Menswear Wool Suit Made in France 2 Piece

🛍️ · its own era

The edit ·

A pre-owned set of two pieces in wool, from the 1980s. Buy the piece, not the promise. Condition, provenance and a maker's mark are worth more than a brand name alone.

This listing is a set of two, not a single piece. Matching pieces from the same workshop sit together the way a lone example never can.

The couturier who put women in tuxedos.

Founded in Paris in 1961 by Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Berge. Le Smoking, the women's tuxedo, in 1966, and the Rive Gauche ready-to-wear line changed fashion permanently.

Vintage YSL spans the Rive Gauche era to the Mondrian dress and the Sac de Jour. The 1970s and 1980s pieces are the most collected, and the craftsmanship is superb.

What to look for

Labels tell the era: Yves Saint Laurent, Rive Gauche, then Saint Laurent. Check the lining and the hardware; the older the label, the finer the finish.

How to wear it

Let the piece lead. Build the outfit or the room around it, not the other way round.
