Design Features & Construction: These Yves Saint Laurent sandals are defined by their elegant combination of clean lines and sculptural floral detailing. The wide black satin vamp provides a smooth, uninterrupted foundation across the front of the foot, while the open-toe construction creates a lighter, feminine finish.
The defining detail is the pair of rolled-satin rose appliqués positioned towards either side of the front strap. Carefully gathered into dimensional floral forms, the roses introduce texture and a romantic element to an otherwise highly streamlined silhouette.
Fine satin ankle straps rise elegantly around the ankle and are secured with discreet gold-tone buckles, providing a subtle contrast against the black upper. The dramatically tapered stiletto heels complete the design, creating a long, elegant line through the foot and leg.
Styling & Versatility: A sophisticated evening sandal that works naturally with cocktail dresses, slip dresses, tailored trousers, skirts and minimalist separates. The black satin construction makes the pair exceptionally versatile, while the sculptural roses provide a distinctive focal point.
Worn with a simple black dress, the floral detailing becomes the centre of attention. Styled with vintage Yves Saint Laurent or early-2000s eveningwear, the sandals create a particularly elegant interpretation of the era's glamour.
Collectability: A distinctive Yves Saint Laurent footwear piece from the 2000s, particularly notable for its combination of luxurious black satin, sculptural rose appliqués and sharply tapered stiletto proportions. The floral detailing gives the pair a romantic character while the restrained construction maintains the sophisticated aesthetic associated with the house.
The combination of the sculptural rose detailing, classic black satin palette and elegant stiletto silhouette makes these particularly appealing to collectors of vintage Yves Saint Laurent and archival designer footwear.
Closure: Adjustable ankle straps with gold-tone buckle fastening.
Condition: Pre-owned vintage condition. The black satin retains its rich appearance and the sculptural rose appliqués remain beautifully defined.
