When I went to Marrakech, Morocco 15 years ago, the main purpose of the trip was to visit YVES SAINT LAURENT’S JORDIN MAJORELLE. This is one of the special gift I purchased there. Galerie LOVE is Inside this structure that surround by the stunning garden, where the LOVE collection or cartes de vouex is exhibited.
Yves Saint Laurent created the LOVE collection between 70’s and 2000’s , However in the year of 1978 and ´1993, he ceased from sending them; the maison referred those years as “The Years without Love”

In the “LOVE” card collection, there are three fundamental elements, ‘THE YEAR’ in which they were sent( the word ‘LOVE’ and ‘YVES SAINT LAURENT SIGNATURE’
He sent them to his clients and dearest friends to celebrate the New Years.
The cards are quite fascinating, not only by the play of colors and their graphic approach, but also because they show another creative side of this couture genius.

For Saint Laurent, the concept of love and its symbol, the heart, were always essential. One of his greatest phrases was “Without an elegance of the heart, there is no elegance”. Pierre Bergé recounts in an interview with Numéro magazine that it all began in 1962 with the first collection of the recently founded Maison Yves Saint Laurent. For one of the gowns, they created a fantasy broach with an asymmetrical heart including a huge embedded red stone. As not with any other piece of jewelry he ever created, this one he kept forever as a talisman. Before long, the heart started to become one of the symbols of the maison.

Every year, the card design was imbued by the inspirations of Yves and the world around him. The ones he created in the 70s are loaded with snakes, a symbol he cherished, maybe from the times of his Algerian childhood. In 1966, Pierre Bergé and Yves first arrived to Marrakech; they were so fascinated that they promptly bought the first house they would have in this city. Curiously, this house, which was bought to the Indochinese antique dealer Maurice Doan, was called Dar el Hanch, the House of the Snake. It is obvious in these cards the influence he gathered by his constant stays in Morocco.
