Vintage Yves Saint Laurent Chain Tote Black Red Gold

The first impression is the interplay of black canvas and vivid red side panels, framed by supple black leather trim and anchored by bold gold-tone chain handles. At the centre, the Yves Saint Laurent logo is embossed discreetly into the leather front, a subtle but unmistakable signature. The gold-tone hardware glints against the deep hues, with chain links and logo-engraved rings lending a refined sense of weight and movement. This tote reflects the enduring codes of Yves Saint Laurent’s late-20th-century collections, where high-contrast palettes and tactile materials defined the maison’s approach to everyday luxury. Founded in Paris in 1961 by Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé, the house quickly established itself as the master of modern elegance—pioneering the marriage of sharp tailoring and bold, graphic colour. The interior is lined in matching black textile, spacious enough for daily essentials and secured with a top zip. The piece remains in excellent condition, with hardware gleaming, structure crisp and leather trim unmarked. The original dust bag is included.
