Yves Saint Laurent founded his house in Paris in 1961 with Pierre Bergé, after heading Christian Dior from 1957 to 1960. He continued to lead its design until his retirement in 2002.
Rive Gauche, launched in 1966, brought Saint Laurent's designs into ready-to-wear and set a model for other couture houses. Belts and accessories completed the looks.
The plaited structure combines the warmth of tan leather with the texture of cord, and the tassels weight the ends. Wear is minimal.
Leather and cord, plaited together.
Yves Saint Laurent accessories from the 1980s continue to attract collectors of the house. A tie belt allows the length and knot to be adjusted to the wearer.
Vintage Yves Saint Laurent accessories continue to attract interest among collectors.
Belts wear where they are tied and handled, so condition is assessed with care.
Rive Gauche, launched in 1966, is a recognised milestone in the history of ready-to-wear.
