VTG 90’s Yves Saint Laurent YSL Rive Gauche Leather Fringe Frayed Scarf Tom Ford
The edit · Silk Scarves
A used silk scarf in leather. Silk scarves from these decades were designed by artists and finished by hand. A signed, hand-rolled hem still reads as luxury sixty years on.
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.
Hand-rolled hems and saturated color are the tells of a good scarf. Gently steam it before judging; vintage silk relaxes beautifully.
How to wear it
Knot it at the neck, tie it onto a bag handle, or frame it. A scarf this good spends as much time on display as it does on your shoulders.
