Alright, alright, lemme tell ya ’bout this… this… Man-hat-tan bag, yeah, the YSL thingy. Fancy name, huh? Don’t know what it means, but it sure looks somethin’.
So, this YSL Manhattan Bag, they say it’s a classic. Now, I ain’t no fancy city gal, but I know a good bag when I see one. It’s like them old feed sacks we used to have on the farm, sturdy, ya know? But this one’s all shiny and… well, purty. Not that I’d ever use a purty bag for feed, mind you!
They got all sorts of these Manhattan bags. Big ones, small ones, some with flaps, some without. Seems like a lot of fuss for a bag, but hey, folks got their ways. I saw one online, on that… that… inter-web thingy my grandson showed me. Said it was the Saint Laurent official online store. Never heard of Saint Laurent, sounds like some fella from down the road, but they sure got a lot of stuff. Purses, clothes, shoes… enough to fill a whole barn, I tell ya.
- Big Bags: Good for carryin’ lots of stuff, like when you go to the market. ‘Cept I use my ol’ basket, sturdier, ya know?
- Small Bags: Just for show, I reckon. Can’t fit nothin’ but a lipstick and maybe a coin or two. Waste of good leather, if you ask me.
- Flap Bags: Keeps your stuff from fallin’ out, I guess. But them flaps can be a nuisance, always gettin’ in the way.
- No Flap Bags: Easy to get into, but watch out, your stuff might go tumblin’ out!
They got this whole Women’s Manhattan Handbags Collection thing goin’ on. Pictures of all these ladies posin’ with their bags. Lookin’ all serious-like. I tell ya, back in my day, we just carried our stuff in our aprons or a good ol’ burlap sack. No fancy collections needed. But I guess times change.
This Saint Laurent YSL bag, it’s got a name, a real long one. Yves Saint somethin’-somethin’. Sounds like a mouthful of marbles. They call it YSL MANHATTAN BAG Classic Style and it seems folks really like it. Probably ’cause it’s well-made. Like a good pair of boots, it’ll last ya a long time, I reckon. Though I still prefer my old worn-in boots, comfy as a feather bed.
Now, they’re sellin’ this Saint Laurent Official Online stuff, right? On that there ‘puter thing. You just click-click, and they send it right to your door. Imagine that! Back in my day, if you wanted somethin’, you went to the store, or you made it yourself. None of this clickin’ and waitin’. But hey, progress, right?
I saw one of them bags, it was a shiny black color. Real sleek lookin’. Reminded me of that black stallion my daddy used to have, all muscled and powerful. ‘Course, the bag don’t buck you off, that’s for sure. But it’s got that same kinda… presence, ya know? Makes a statement.
Then there was a brown one, looked like good, solid leather. Reminded me of my grandpa’s old saddle, the one he used for workin’ the fields. Worn and weathered, but strong as an ox. That’s the kinda quality I like. Somethin’ that’ll last, somethin’ that can take a beatin’. Don’t know if these fancy bags can take a beatin’ like that saddle, but they sure look sturdy enough.
This here Yves Saint Laurent fella, or whoever he is, he sure knows how to make a bag, I’ll give him that. Even if it’s got a fancy name and a fancy price tag. I bet you could carry your whole life in one of them big ones. Well, not your whole life, but you know what I mean. All your important stuff. Like your wallet, your keys, maybe a picture of your grandkids. The essentials.
So, yeah, this Saint Laurent YSL, Manhattan Bag, Classic Style… it’s somethin’ alright. A bit too fancy for my taste, maybe. But I can appreciate a good piece of work when I see it. And if you got the money to spend, well, go ahead and get yourself one. Just don’t go fillin’ it with feed, ya hear?
And that’s all I gotta say ’bout that. Time to go make some supper. Got a hankerin’ for some good ol’ chicken and dumplings.
