Opyum is the shoe that turned the house logo into a heel. Stacked YSL letters form the heel itself, so you carry Saint Laurent's signature literally underfoot. A slim front strap, an ankle strap and glossy black patent complete the look, making the sandal a sculptural piece that turns heads at first glance. Browse the luxury heels edit at Swagyo.

The Opyum story
Design philosophy
Anthony Vaccarello launched Opyum in 2017 with the bold idea of the logo as structure, not decoration. A heel made of letters is an engineering challenge, since it must carry full weight through irregular shapes. The result is a heel that looks impossible and works with stability.
Material quality and our checks
On inspection the letter heel is cast from polished metal, not coated plastic, and its felt weight is heavier than the photo suggests — which is what gives it stability despite its shape. The black patent is deep-gloss and evenly spread with no streaks.

FAQ
Is the YSL-letter heel stable to walk in?
Yes; despite its unconventional shape it's cast in metal with a considered centre of gravity, though it's a high occasion heel, not for long walking on uneven ground.
How high is the heel?
Around 110 mm, so it suits those used to high heels; anyone preferring a lower height can ask the personal shopper about lower alternatives.
Does black patent show scratches?
It hides light scratches but shows fingerprints, and a slightly damp cotton pad restores its shine.
Is the slim front strap comfortable?
It holds the foot gently without pressure, and the ankle strap spreads the stability, but for long evenings a thin gel insert is advised.
