YSL Tie Identification Dilemma

Came across this unusual YSL and cannot find any information on this label - I'm hoping someone might be able to shed some light. I have never seen any YSL like this - the tie is watermarked.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Clearly not Yves Saint Laurent.

+1 to the above. You see lots of stuff like this in Asia; twists on names of famous designers. Giorgio Cavalli, Roberto Valentino, I've even seen a Sergio Versace once. If you look closely, you'll also see that the YSL is not an exact match for the Yves Saint Laurent logo, too.

At least using a golf club in place of an "L" is a pretty cool twist.

I appreciate the comments. I didn't know what to think of the strange details / 1999 establishment date & wondered if YSGolfClub sold production rights for a diffusion line in some faraway land.

On a side note, has anyone else come across a tie with a watermark? This seems like a rather peculiar stylistic decision.

Zing and Zang!

...although it does seem a little odd that the stains are oval YSgolfclub emblems, regularly spaced on the face of the tie.

^If you look closely, it's not even a "Y." It's "HSB," though then they appear to confuse it and emphasize the 'L." In any case, probably not a tie that you're going to make much off of if you decide to sell it.　Best just to keep it or give it as a stocking stuffer。

I have no idea how much a baht is; did you pay a lot for this? In any case, it's not a bad looking tie, I suppose... so you could just wear it and enjoy it as a novelty. Did you actually buy the tie thinking it was Yves Saint Laurent?

You just paid $200 USD for a stained, knockoff tie.

Hasibenlingdai is Chinese for "ass must be swollen for getting screwed over"
