Yves Saint Laurent Tom Ford Butter Yellow Leather Mombasa Bag, 2004

From Tom Ford’s celebrated Spring/Summer 2004 collection for Yves Saint Laurent, the Mombasa bag is one of the defining accessories of his tenure. This piece showcases Ford’s signature fusion of sensuality and natural form — crafted in supple butter yellow lambskin with tiered ruffle construction that moves fluidly with the body.

The sculptural faux-ivory horn handle, finished with gold-tone hardware, embodies the collection’s African-inspired elegance and remains one of YSL’s most recognizable design signatures. The interior is lined in soft suede with a zip pocket, completing a piece that is both luxurious and tactile.

A standout from the SS04 runway era, the Mombasa remains a highly collectible artifact of Tom Ford’s creative direction — balancing bohemian ease with modern sophistication.

Excellent vintage condition, light wear.
