Yves Saint Laurent Coin Purse Appraisal

Yves Saint Laurent Beauté Heart-Shaped Coin Purse

This item is an Yves Saint Laurent Beauté branded coin purse, distinctively shaped like a heart. Its primary color is a vibrant, glossy hot pink, suggesting a patent leather or patent-like synthetic material, which gives it a shiny, reflective finish. The construction appears to be machine-stitched along the edges, forming the heart silhouette. The front prominently displays the iconic 'YSL' logo in black, with 'BEAUTÉ' written underneath in a smaller, sans-serif font, also in black. This indicates it is likely a promotional or gift-with-purchase item from the beauty division of Yves Saint Laurent, rather than a main collection fashion accessory. The coin purse features a black zipper closure along the top right curve of the heart. The zipper pull is gold-toned metal, attached to a black tab, possibly made of a similar patent material, for easy gripping. The overall condition appears to be good with minimal visible wear, although some minor surface scuffs or indentations might be present due to the patent material's susceptibility to showing such marks, particularly in the reflective glare. There are no obvious signs of significant damage, repairs, or heavy patina. The craftsmanship seems standard for a promotional item, with neat stitching and a well-formed shape. Given its 'Beauté' branding, it likely dates from the 21st century, possibly from the 2010s or later.
