Hi and welcome to TPF!

I have seen this pattern of vintage YSL bags before, but not IRL, only on here or on eBay. I think this looks OK...what is behind the tag? Does the stitching seem OK to you? I am not sure about the zipper.

The stitching etc looks great, but there is nothing on the other side of the tag and I'm not sure if there should be a serial number or something??.....I can't seem to find much info on YSL bags online.

Any idea how old this might be?

Thank so much!!

that's authentic. i'd date it either late 80s to early/mid 90s. yves-era for sure; certainly not alber elbaz or tom ford.

it is a GORGEOUS bag!! congrats! if you ever want it taken off your hands, let me know LMAO

BTW, best to post this on the Authenticate this thread above, some of the folks who authenticate best tend to hang out there or pop in there more often:)
