Bidspirit auction | Yves Saint Laurent Black Oval

Yves Saint Laurent Black Oval Acetate Sunglasses with Gold-Tone YSL Monogram - A pair of vintage Yves Saint Laurent (YSL) Paris sunglasses, model 31-5506. These designer eyewear pieces feature a classic oval-to-rounded silhouette crafted from solid black acetate. The temples are distinguished by prominent, integrated gold-tone metal YSL monogram logos and matching gold-tone hinges. The frames house tinted lenses marked for UV protection. All original brand markings, including the model number and Yves Saint Laurent Paris, are present on the interior arms. Dimensions: 5.5 inches frame width, 5.25 inches temple length.  YSL black oval acetate sunglasses with the gold-tone YSL monogram are a piece that captures the house's eyewear aesthetic at its most Parisian. The oval form - associated with Yves Saint Laurent's own personal style throughout the 1970s - carries genuine biographical resonance, and the gold YSL monogram against black acetate is a design combination of unforced elegance. Pre-Tom Ford YSL eyewear is undervalued relative to the Tom Ford-era pieces that followed.
