Yves Saint Laurent Small Purple Enamel Butterfly Pin – 1993 Spring/Summer by Robert Goossens

Explore the elegance of the 1993 Spring/Summer couture collection with this small butterfly pin from Yves Saint Laurent, crafted by Robert Goossens, known as “Mr. Bijoux” for his legendary designs.  Inspired by a collection blending romantic elegance with theatrical flair, featuring flowing silhouettes and nature inspired motifs, this piece features a gold-tone metal base with purple enamel wings, their striated textured lines visible through the rich purple translucent enamel, mimicking real butterfly wings.  It measures 3.2cm tall, 2.7cm at its widest, and weighs 10.3g.  The unique pin with a top hat push-on stopper adds a distinctive touch, signed with a vertical “YSL” and “Made in France” on a stamped rectangular cartouche on the reverse.

This delicate brooch, part of the 1993 Spring/Summer collection, reflects YSL’s legacy of refined design, complementing its larger counterpart with Goossens’s artistry.  Its compact size and vintage charm make it perfect for collectors or subtle styling.

The butterfly represents spiritual rebirth, transformation, creativity, endless potential, vibrant joy, change, ascension, and an ability to experience the wonder of life.
