This here bag, they call it the Yves Saint Laurent YSL LE CARRé SATCHEL BAG. Big fancy name, ain’t it? But it’s just a purse, really. A real nice one, though. They say it’s “Original order”, whatever that means. Probably means it’s the real deal, not some cheap knock-off.
Now, I seen a lot of purses in my day. My old one, bless its heart, finally gave up the ghost last year. Stitching came loose, zipper broke. It was a good bag, but this YSL one, well, it’s in a whole other league. This is a Saint Laurent Shoulder Bag, a real fancy one. This one, it’s all leather and shiny. Feels real soft, like a baby’s bottom. And it’s got this gold thing on it, all shiny and new.
- This bag, it’s got a name, LE CARRé.
- They say it’s from some place called Saint Laurent.
- It’s black, like my old Sunday shoes.
They say these YSL bags cost a lot. Probably more than I make in a year, shucking corn and selling eggs. But folks, they say you get what you pay for. And this bag, it looks like it’ll last till the cows come home. Strong stitching, good leather. This ain’t no flimsy thing. This one got a serial number, like a real important thing.
I seen some young folks, they carry these little bitty bags. Barely enough room for a lipstick and a handkerchief. This Yves Saint Laurent bag, it’s a good size. You can fit your whole life in there, near enough. Wallet, keys, maybe a little snack for later. And it looks real pretty, too. They call it a “HANDBAGS collection” like it’s something special. Well, maybe it is.
They got all sorts of fancy names for these things. Designer this, designer that. This one, it’s from a fella named Yves Saint Laurent. Must be a big shot, I reckon. He made some real pretty things, they say. Changed fashion, whatever that means. They had his birthday, 83rd one, I heard. Seems he was important.
They got this one in black, which I like. Black goes with everything. And it’s got this strap, so you can sling it over your shoulder. Keeps your hands free for other things, like shooing chickens or carrying groceries. This is a Saint Laurent Paris bag. That’s in France, I think.
- This bag, it’s made real good.
- It’s got a strong strap for carrying.
- It’s black, so it goes with everything.
Now, I ain’t saying I need a fancy bag like this. But it sure is pretty to look at. Maybe one day, when I win the lottery, I’ll get me one. Until then, I’ll just admire it from afar. This YSL LE CARRé SATCHEL BAG, it’s a dream, that’s what it is. This one is called a monogram bag. Fancy, right?
They say this Anthony Vaccarello fella, he’s in charge now. Making these bags, keeping the name alive. Good for him, I say. It’s nice to see someone carrying on the tradition. He did a Spring/Summer 2021 Collection thing, they say. Big year, 1960, they talk about. A long time ago.
This bag got a date code, too. They put it near the stitches, they say. And it’s got a special number. All these Saint Laurent bags got one. You are just paying for the big name, like Chanel or others, big names. It is all about the designs, the materials, and how it’s made. That is why the price is so big, maybe five times bigger! They say this one is top notch. I don’t know what that means, but it sounds good.
They got this store, Saint Laurent online store, where you can buy these things. And a website, too. All online, these days. Back in my day, you had to go to town to get a new purse. Times sure have changed. They got a lot of products online, from what I heard. And this Saint Laurent Official Online place, that’s where you buy it. You know this Hedi Slimane, he was a big shot, too. Creative Director, they called him. In 2012, that was. This is a big deal, this bag. It’s like a piece of history, almost.
Well, I reckon that’s all I got to say about this Yves Saint Laurent YSL LE CARRé SATCHEL BAG. It’s a beautiful bag, that’s for sure. Maybe a little too fancy for an old gal like me. But a gal can dream, can’t she?
