How old is the Yves Saint Laurent company?
1 Answer

The fashion house Yves Saint Laurent was founded in 1962 by Yves Henri Donat Mathieu-Saint-Laurent and Pierre Bergé in Paris, France. Their mission was to make prêt-à-porter, or ready-to-wear fashion, a reputable trend. In 1966, they opened the first YSL Rive Gauche women’s boutique in Paris, followed soon after by YSL Rive Gauche for men. On 1stDibs, you’ll find a collection of iconic vintage and contemporary Saint Laurent clothing and accessories.

1970s Yves Saint Laurent Knit Cardigan Mongolian Fur Collar Soft Mohair 70s YSL
By Yves Saint Laurent
Located in San Diego, CA
Indulge in timeless French luxury with this rare 1970s Yves Saint Laurent cardigan, a true collector’s piece for vintage lovers. Crafted in a stunning marled blend of rich golden yellow, rust, and black, this ultra-chic YSL knit is crowned with a dramatic black genuine Mongolian lamb fur collar for instant runway-worthy style.
What makes this piece so special — beyond its iconic YSL design — is how incredibly soft and comfortable it is to wear. Unlike itchy vintage knits, this cardigan is made from 100% extra fine merino wool, giving it a lightweight, luxuriously soft feel against the skin. Cozy yet breathable, it’s perfect for layering through the seasons.
Versatility is key — wear it buttoned up as a statement sweater jacket, or fully open over a silk camisole, slip dress, or crisp blouse for an effortlessly chic look. Dress it up with tailored trousers and vintage boots for dinner or events, or style it down with high-waisted jeans for a laid-back retro vibe.
