Cassandra YSL-Monogram Suede Wedge Sandals

Saint Laurent’s tan suede Cassandra sandals are centred with an antiqued gold-tone metal YSL plaque, designed by typeface artist Adolphe Mouron Cassandre in 1961. They’re crafted in Italy with neat hand-lacquered edges framing the slender straps, then set on a canvas-covered platform with a black leather sole. Wear them beneath a lightweight top and skirt for an elegant vacation look.
