Description

A beautifully pared-back pair of vintage Yves Saint Laurent pumps in black satin.

The silhouette is precise and quietly dramatic. A low-cut vamp leads into an elongated pointed toe, while the slim heel keeps the profile elegant without relying on embellishment, hardware, or visible logos.

The satin gives the black surface subtle depth as light moves across the vamps and sides. Inside, metallic-gold insoles carry the full Yves Saint Laurent name in black lettering, creating a rich contrast against the minimal exterior.

The leather outsoles are stamped Made in Italy and appear to indicate a marked women’s size 7½ N. The narrow width and tapered vintage construction make the pair best suited to a modern US 7 narrow.

Wear them with tuxedo trousers, a bias-cut slip dress, a narrow midi skirt, cropped dark denim, or an otherwise restrained look that lets the pointed silhouette do the work.

Fit Notes

Marked women’s US 7.5 N and estimated to best fit a modern US 7 narrow.

The N marking indicates a narrow width, while the pointed toe reduces usable forefoot space. A modern US 7.5 with a particularly narrow foot may also find the pair workable, but US 7 Narrow is the safer primary fit estimate.

For the strongest fit comparison, check the interior footbed length and widest outsole measurement against a similarly shaped pump already in your wardrobe.

Condition

Good Vintage Condition.

The black satin uppers retain their elegant shape and deep color, with gentle creasing across the vamps, subtle sheen variation, faint handling marks, and light edge wear consistent with age.

The metallic-gold interiors remain bright and clearly branded, with light creasing and signs of previous use. The leather outsoles show visible abrasion and scratching through the forefoot areas.

Both heel tips remain present, but one appears more heavily worn or chipped at the edge and should be inspected before regular wear. No major satin tears, large stains, or obvious sole separation are visible in the photos.

Please review all images closely, particularly the toe edges, satin surface, metallic interiors, leather soles, heels, and heel tips.

Styling Notes

Pair these with a black trouser suit, a cream slip dress, narrow leather trousers, or dark straight-leg denim. Their restraint also makes them an ideal counterpoint to sequins, metallic fabrics, elaborate jewelry, or a dramatic vintage evening piece.

For a clean 1980s reference, wear them with a strong-shouldered jacket and tapered trousers. For something less literal, combine them with cropped denim and a fine knit.

Curation Note

Each Quirk piece is hand selected by our team for quality, construction, styling potential, and point of view.

Authenticity Note

The full Yves Saint Laurent insole branding, Italian production stamp, leather outsole, size and width markings, and overall construction are consistent with documented vintage Yves Saint Laurent footwear. No third-party authentication paperwork is included unless noted separately.

I cannot say enough glowing words about Quirk. It's the absolute best. I've come several times since 2020 and they never miss. Melynda is a top-tier curator. All her pieces feel hand-picked with thought, care, and a keen eye for taste and style. It's easy to find a great deal here: I've found a vintage Dior wallet at Quirk, as well as multiple outfits for red carpets, premieres, photoshoots, and day-to-day wear. She keeps prices super fair and reasonable while knowing her stuff when it comes to true vintage, designer, and quality. I always know I'm getting my money's worth. As a stylist, Melynda is a true treat and I highly recommend working with her. Whether it's working on a tight budget and creating 15-30 looks from vintage pieces, or an expanded budget that can pull from showrooms and designer pieces, or even creating a custom piece--Melynda knows how to meet the needs of every budget and occasion and go above and beyond. She puts in the work when it comes to event research and advocates for a client's personal taste. She has styled high-profile clients and costumed network television shows--it's hard to find someone who knows more about true vintage and eras than Melynda! As someone who loves vintage shopping, thrifting, and flea/artist/vintage markets, I'm always looking for vendors and stores, and Quirk is one of those special places where you can tell vintage is a real passion, not just a place to make a quick buck on a Tiktok trend (though you can definitely find super trendy pieces here too!). At Quirk, I'd say clothes are treated like found treasure looking for their forever home! I come back again and again because the pieces are fun and always changing. As a store owner, Melynda is friendly, knowledgable, and is great at offering styling advice for each customer's unique taste. She keeps such a positive shopping atmosphere in the store. I'll always keep returning!

An absolute gem of a boutique, with a constant stream of unique vintage pieces! I was able to get the perfect dress, pumps, handbag, and hat for a formal tea at very short notice. The store is easy to access in the second floor of a fashion design building. The owner is a talented costume designer with a wealth of experience from film and more. Whether you go in with a decade-specific goal in mind, or are just looking for a special treasure, you will surely find something magical!!!

My mom and I found the Peoples Free Boutique by Quirk after the fires devastated our neighborhood in Altadena. We've been building care boxes for an entire group of people, not just ourselves, and were welcomed into the space. It allowed us to recreate beautiful closets in a safe space, which has become harder to find as the relief efforts continue in the second wave. Very grateful for the energy and dedication that Melynda and her team of volunteers had shown to our community!! Go check out the Peoples Free Boutique on Spring St if you've been impacted by the fires they will help you rebuild and feel fabulous! If you weren't impacted by the fires but want to support Quirk for now you would message Melynda on Instagram to set up a shopping appointment! She's so dedicated to the relief efforts her store is still running by appointment only so she can keep the Free Boutique open! Love them!!!

So thankful for Quirk and their pop up for folks affected from the fires! I've been able to stop by a few times to pick up much needed items after losing my things from the fires. They offer everything from clothing, shoes, hygiene items, accessories, and you'll find a combination of brand new and gently used items. The volunteers are literally the sweetest and most helpful. It genuinely feels like a peaceful, fun, and productive shopping experience. So grateful for quirk and their pop up, strongly recommend.

I was so happy to finally find a store in the heart of Dtla that sells true vintage clothing and accessories! It gets better- the owner, Melynda is a stylist/ costume designer who gave me style advice on a whim. Prices are reasonable and there’s even a $20 rack! Total hidden gem. Skip Zara. Check it out Quirk.

I had the pleasure of stumbling upon Quirk fairly recently and I am most certainly delighted I found this little gem! Located on a busy downtown street, its colorful, unique vintage items are arranged and merchandised well! For a small space, a diverse range of eclectic items will most certainly entice you! Trust me, ya won't leave without buying a little keeper! I love the Seven 4 all Mankind Tight pencil skirt I found and I have some items on hold I can't wait to get! The Owner/Stylist, Melynda is an absolute doll, and a pleasure to chat with as you browse the items, If you are a vintage fanatic or Fashionista, check this place out! Tiny but lots of little treasures that are reasonably priced!

One of the coolest places I’ve stumbled upon thus far. Unlike some other vintage stores where it feels like it’s full of marked-up Goodwill items, Melynda takes the time to research and select all the items she puts out in the store. When I stopped by, she even let me look through some items she hadn’t put out yet, and I found a really cool vintage Western button-up. The men’s section is not neglected either, full of some really cool shirts, pants, jackets, shoes, and other accessories. If you’re looking to find a unique piece in a friendly environment, this is the place for you.

Ten out of five stars for Melynda and her all volunteer Quirk crew for creating the People's Free Boutique in an unused corner space in DTLA, providing much needed, intentional, and high quality clothing and supplies for those of us who lost everything in LA's January fires. My family and I came to Quirk and were welcomed with care and respect, mirroring the quality and thoughtfulness of the clothing offered, and being given the dignity of choice to dress ourselves in clothing that we prefer. The Quirk crew were professional and kind, dealing with a gradually melting down child and frazzled adults, recognizing and validating the collective trauma of their guests, and providing a space of hope, solace, and care out of the goodness of their hearts. I was able to restock much of my professional and casual wardrobe, grab some high quality toiletries, kids clothing, and an epic penny board for my kid. I cannot recommend a visit to the People's Free Boutique and Melynda's Quirk store on 9th enough!
