A striking vintage Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche bowling bag in smooth black leather, finished with one of the design’s most distinctive details: a graphic band of repeating “Y” motifs along the base.

The structured bowling silhouette is softened by rounded edges and elongated double handles, while warm brown contrast stitching and the repeating Y trim give the otherwise minimalist black leather bag an unmistakably archival YSL look.

This is a particularly interesting piece for collectors because the Y motif has deep roots in the Saint Laurent vocabulary—and the house has recently returned to the archival Y as a prominent handbag motif.

The result feels quintessentially Rive Gauche: sophisticated without relying on an oversized logo, but immediately recognizable once you notice the details.

A fantastic everyday vintage designer bag with enough room to be genuinely useful, and an especially good choice for anyone collecting less ubiquitous YSL designs.
