Well, let me tell ya somethin’ about this here… what’s it called? Remake Yves Saint Laurent YSL ENVELOPE BAG, yeah, that’s the one. Folks call it the “YSL Envelope Bag,” fancy name, huh? But don’t let that fool ya, it ain’t nothin’ more than a purse shaped like, well, an envelope! Imagine that!
Now, I ain’t no fancy pants city gal, but I know a thing or two about bags. Used to carry my taters and eggs in ’em, back in the day. This here YSL bag, though, it ain’t for taters. It’s for… well, I reckon it’s for showin’ off. City folks, they like to show off, ya know?
They got these stores, see? Bloomingdale’s, they call it. And Neiman Marcus. Sounds like a fella’s name, don’t it? Anyways, they sell these bags there. And they ain’t cheap, let me tell ya. You could buy a whole henhouse for the price of one of them things!
- They say it’s “designer,” this YSL.
- Means some fella, or maybe a gal, drew it up and they slapped a fancy name on it.
- And then they charge you an arm and a leg for it. That’s how it works, I guess.
Now, some folks, they like the old stuff. Pre-owned, they call it. Means somebody else had it before. Kinda like hand-me-downs, but way more expensive. They say these old YSL bags, they’re somethin’ special. Maybe they are, maybe they ain’t. I reckon it’s all the same, just a bag to carry your stuff.
This here Saint Laurent fella, he started this whole thing way back in 1961. That’s a long time ago, even before I was born! And then some other fella, Hedi Slimane, he come along and changed things up. Made it all edgy, they say. I don’t know what edgy means, but I reckon it’s supposed to be fancy.
And they changed the name too! Used to be Yves Saint Laurent, now it’s just Saint Laurent Paris. City folks, they like to change things up, keep ya on your toes.
But here’s the thing, and this is what gets me. You’re payin’ for the name, see? YSL. That’s what they’re sellin’ ya. It’s like buyin’ a name, not a bag. You could get a bag just as good, maybe better, for a whole lot less money. But folks, they want that name. They want to show off.
They say the designs are good, the materials are good, and the way they make it is good. Top notch, that’s what they say. And I reckon it is, for the price they’re chargin’. But then they go and charge you five times what it’s worth, just ’cause it’s got that YSL on it. It’s like buyin’ a name, not a bag, like I said before.
It’s like them other fancy names, Chanel, D&G, Dior… all the same. You’re payin’ for the name, not the thing itself. Now, Dior, they got these bags, and they didn’t even have numbers on ’em ’til 1997. Can you believe that? No numbers! How’d they keep track of ’em, I wonder?
And on the little bitty leather things, they put the date code near the stitchin’. That’s what they say, anyways. I ain’t never seen one of them fancy Dior bags up close, so I can’t say for sure.
But this here YSL bag, the Envelope Bag… it’s just a bag. A fancy, expensive bag, but still just a bag. You can go to the Saint Laurent official online store, they say, and buy one. Or you can go to them fancy stores, Bloomingdale’s and Neiman Marcus. But me? I’ll stick to my old burlap sack. It holds just as much, and it don’t cost me an arm and a leg.
So, that’s what I think about this Remake Yves Saint Laurent YSL ENVELOPE BAG. It’s a fancy name for a fancy bag that costs a whole lotta money. You’re payin’ for the name, not the bag. And that’s all there is to it, as far as I can see.
In conclusion, if you got money to burn, go ahead and buy yourself a YSL bag. But if you’re like me, and you ain’t got money to throw around, you can find a perfectly good bag for a whole lot less. It might not have a fancy name, but it’ll hold your stuff just the same.
