FAQs

What material is the Saint Laurent Cassandre Brooch made of?

The brooch is made of 100% brass.

What are the dimensions of the brooch?

The diameter of the brooch is 5 cm.

How does the brooch attach?

It attaches with a pin closure that includes a safety hook for secure fastening.

Can I wear this brooch on any type of clothing?

Yes, it is designed to accentuate jackets, lapels, and bags. It is best suited for sturdier fabrics like wool, denim, or leather.

How should I clean the brooch?

Clean the brooch using only a soft, dry cloth. Avoid water, chemicals, and abrasive cleaners to protect the gold finish and engraved texture.

What is the significance of the 'Cassandre' name?

Cassandre is the name of the iconic YSL logo designed by artist Cassandre, which has become a signature motif for Saint Laurent.

Is the gold finish prone to chipping?

While brass is durable, the gold finish can be susceptible to scratches or wear if not properly cared for. Avoid friction and impact.

Troubleshooting

Pin closure feels loose

Gently check if the pin mechanism is bent or obstructed. If it continues to feel loose, consult with a professional accessory repair service.

Brooch appears dull or tarnished

Gently wipe with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. For stubborn dullness, use a specialized brass cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first, and follow product instructions carefully. Avoid water and harsh chemicals.

Safety hook is difficult to fasten

Ensure the pin is correctly aligned with the hook. If it feels stiff, a tiny amount of silicone-based lubricant might help, applied with a fine-tipped applicator. Avoid oil-based lubricants that can attract dust.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
