Yves Saint Laurent towel set by Uchino, 1980s
This set of two Yves Saint Laurent towels dates from the 1980s. The towels are in soft cotton, with the YSL logo set into a colourful geometric pattern, and the set is listed at 30 x 20 cm. They have never been used and are still presented in their original box.
A couture signature, made in everyday cotton.
The towels were made in Japan by Uchino, a textile company known for the quality of its towels and cotton goods. Japanese production gave designer home textiles of this period a softness and finish that are still valued today.
The interlaced YSL initials were designed in 1961 by the graphic artist Cassandre and remain one of the most recognised monograms in fashion. During the 1970s and 1980s, the house extended its name to a wide range of licensed goods, bringing the monogram into homes as well as wardrobes.
Designer towels were made to be used, and most from the period were. Sets that remain unused in their original box are uncommon and are collected as examples of 1980s designer home goods.
Vintage designer textiles for the home are attracting new interest, particularly pieces with strong logo designs.
Most towels from the period were used, so unused sets in their original boxes are less common.
1980s logo patterns are finding their way into contemporary interiors and gifting, adding interest in original sets.
