Vintage Yves Saint Laurent Bifold Leather Wallet Late 1990s Dark Brown

The YSL Cassandre logo is embossed in a square cartouche at the lower corner of
this slim bifold wallet, its classic serif lines pressed into dark brown smooth
leather with a subtle sheen. The exterior's clean, uninterrupted surface is
matched by a discreet silhouette with softly rounded edges, free from visible
hardware or external stitching.
Opening to a black leather interior, the wallet reveals multiple card slots and
a single long compartment, offering practical organisation in a compact handheld
format. The all-leather construction continues throughout, with the lining and
slot dividers crafted in matching black calfskin. No visible serial or interior
label is present; the only branding is the exterior YSL logo.
This piece likely dates to the late 1990s or early 2000s, during the Tom Ford
era at Yves Saint Laurent, when accessories often featured pared-back forms and
tactile, logo-driven detailing in place of overt hardware. The absence of 'Saint
Laurent Paris' or 'Yves Saint Laurent' text, combined with the packaging style
and classic Cassandre logo, further situate it in this transitional period of
the house.
Accompanied by the original box, with only minor surface wear to the leather.
