First introduced for Spring\/Summer 2002, the Mombasa became an icon almost overnight, and this black velvet iteration captures everything that made the design so coveted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eVintage YSL pieces from this period are genuine collector's items. The Mombasa in particular is prized for its bold, architectural handle, a design so distinctive it's still referenced in contemporary accessories today. The rigid frame top and pleated velvet body give it real presence, while the compact proportions keep it wonderfully wearable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eBuying preloved YSL through resale is one of the only ways to access this specific era of the house's design history, long before the brand's name changed and its aesthetic shifted. This Mombasa comes complete with its original YSL dust bag, adding a lovely finishing touch for anyone building a vintage designer collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eFor anyone hunting for a used YSL piece with genuine fashion history behind it, this Mombasa is a rare find: sculptural, characterful, and unmistakably Tom Ford.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\"\u003eOur Price: £695\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\"\u003eProduct Information\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yves Saint Laurent (by Tom Ford)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mombasa\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black velvet with black horn-effect handle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Velvet body, resin handle, silver-tone hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e Silver-tone frame closure and handle fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClosure:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rigid frame top with push clasp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStrap:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fixed curved top handle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInterior:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fully lined\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Made in Italy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncludes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Original YSL dust bag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\"\u003eMeasurements\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 24cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDepth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Drop:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFits:\u003c\/strong\u003e Phone, cardholder, lipstick, and small evening essentials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\"\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThis vintage Mombasa is in good preloved condition overall, with the velvet body retaining its rich black colour and soft pile throughout the main panels.
