Archival Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche passementerie belt in braided burgundy and olive cord with hammered gold-tone medallions and oversized tassel. The belt is of the same style as YSL's F/W 1976 Russian collection, which was inspired by Léon Bakst’s costumes for the Ballets Russes and the richness of Orientalist painting, according to the Yves Saint Laurent Museum in Paris. It also has echoes of his inspiration from his home in Morocco, making this both wearable and museum-worthy.
