Well, well, well, looky here! You wanna talk about that YSL Envelope bag, huh? That fancy thing all them city girls are carryin’ around. I seen it in one of them shiny magazines my granddaughter showed me. She’s always lookin’ at them things. Expensive, I tell ya! But you know, I guess some folks like that kind of stuff. This is about a remake, whatever that means. It’s still about that bag, I reckon.
They call it an “envelope” bag, ’cause it kinda looks like one, I suppose. You know, where you put a letter? But who writes letters anymore? My old bones remember those days. We used real paper! Not like today, with all them phones and such. But this bag, it ain’t for no letters, that’s for sure. It’s for showin’ off, I reckon. Some people are into YSL. I guess it’s popular now.
I heard them sayin’ it’s made of fancy stuff, this YSL bag. Real leather, maybe? Or somethin’ called “calfskin”. Sounds kinda funny to me. Back in my day, we used what we had. Strong and sturdy, that’s what mattered. Not all this soft, flimsy stuff. But I guess times change. And this bag, it sure is a sign of the times. Expensive times, that is!
And the price! Lord have mercy, the price of that thing! You could buy a whole cow for what they’re askin’ for that little YSL Envelope. It’s more than I made in a year, back when I was workin’ in the fields. But like I said, some folks got money to burn, I guess. And they like to burn it on these fancy things. Good for them, I suppose. Live and let live, that’s what I always say. Remake it all you want, it’s still a lot of money!
They got all different kinds, too. Big ones, small ones, different colors. I even seen one made outta snakeskin! Can you believe that? A snake! Well, I’ll be. Back in my day, we’d be runnin’ from a snake, not wearin’ it on our arm! But that’s the world we live in now, I guess. Full of surprises. And expensive bags!
Why is that YSL so expensive? I heard someone say it’s all about that fancy name, “Saint Laurent”. Sounds French to me. And French things are always expensive, ain’t they? They say it’s ’cause of the materials, all high-end and such. Silk and real leather and metal. Well, good for them, usin’ fancy stuff. But it still seems like a lot of money for a bag. You can get a good, strong bag for a lot less. But it won’t say “YSL” on it, I reckon. That’s what you’re payin’ for, that name. I see some people online talking about how they remake the bag. They talk about the quotes. I don’t know, maybe they are using the quotes to make the bags look good.
- YSL Envelope bag is like an envelope.
- It is expensive!
- They say it is made of good stuff.
- They come in all different kinds of looks.
- That name, “Saint Laurent”, makes it cost more.
My granddaughter, she says it’s a “status symbol”. Whatever that means. I guess it means you got money if you’re carryin’ one of these YSL Envelope bags. And some people like to show off that they got money. Me? I’d rather have a good, sturdy bag that can hold all my things. And maybe a little somethin’ extra for a rainy day. But that’s just me.
They have these online stores and they all talk about that YSL Envelope. That is what they call it, I think. They want you to buy from them. The name is famous. Everybody wants one. But not me. It is too much money. They say that fashion comes and goes. So, I guess this bag is fashionable now. But soon, nobody will want it anymore. That is what happens, you know? The fashion always changes. I remember this one fashion, it was these big hats! Everyone had one. Now, you don’t see them no more. It is like that bag. One day, they make a new bag, and everyone will forget about the YSL Envelope. That is how it goes with all these fashion things. The bag is famous, you know? They say it everywhere. I think I saw it on TV once. Or maybe it was in one of those magazines. Everybody talks about it. They have quotes, you know, from that Yves Saint Laurent. He was the man who made the bags, I think. He is dead now, I think. But his bags are still here. They say he was a genius or something. Maybe he was. I don’t know much about that. All I know is that the bag is famous and it costs a lot.
But hey, if you got the money and you want one of these fancy YSL Envelope bags, you go right ahead. It’s your money. Spend it how you like. Just don’t come cryin’ to me when you’re broke and can’t afford a good pair of shoes! ‘Cause these old bones have seen a lot of things come and go. And I know that a good, strong bag and a good pair of shoes will always be more important than any fancy name.
You can go to those fancy stores, I guess. If you want to get a YSL Envelope bag. They sell them there. I think they are called “Neiman Marcus” or something like that. It is a big store. They have everything there. But it is all very expensive. I don’t go there. I don’t need any of that. I have my own bag. It is a good bag. It is not fancy like that YSL, but it holds all my things. It is all I need. They are selling used ones, too. Used YSL! Can you believe it? I guess they are not as expensive. But still, it is a lot of money for a used bag. I would not buy a used bag. Who knows where it has been? That Yves Saint Laurent, he must have been a smart man. He made a lot of money with those bags. I guess he knew what people wanted. They want to look fancy. They want to show off. They want everyone to know they have money. They think that bag will make them look good. Maybe it does. I don’t know. It is not for me to say. All I know is that it is a very expensive bag. And it looks like an envelope. A very, very expensive envelope!
