An exceptional accessory from the Yves Saint Laurent archives, this 1980's belt features an oversized & sculptural sun medallion designed by Robert Goossens - the legendary Parisian jeweller behind many of YSL’s most iconic bijoux creations. Cast in textured gold-tone metal with radiating, dimensional rays and a stylised sun face, the buckle embodies Goossens’s signature fusion of mythology, artistry, and couture-level craftsmanship. The medallion sits against a wide black passementerie band, intricately woven and softly structured, offering both visual depth and a luxurious finish. The reverse of the buckle is hallmarked YSL and Made in France, underscoring its authenticity and the exceptional construction typical of Saint Laurent’s accessory ateliers during the era. A rare and highly collectible piece that functions as both belt and jewellery, adding sculptural impact to eveningwear, tailoring, and elevated everyday looks.
