That YSL ENVELOPE BAG, oh honey, it’s somethin’ else. Seen it in them fancy magazines, all shiny and lookin’ like a million bucks. Remake YSL bag, they call it. You know, I saw one, it cost more than my old cow Betsy! Three thousand and fifty dollars! Can you believe that? For a purse!
And they got all these fancy words for it, like “Women’s Envelope Handbags Collection.” Sounds like somethin’ out of a movie, don’t it? I reckon it’s just a fancy way of sayin’ “purses that look like envelopes.” My old mail pouch looks kinda like that, but it ain’t worth nothin’ near that price, I tell ya.
Now, I heard tell, these YSL things, they’re cheaper over in Europe, especially in Paris. Like 20% cheaper, they say. 20% is a whole lot, I tell ya. If one costs 100 dollars here, it costs 80 dollars there. Some folks fly over there just to buy them, and you could get some money back, too. Crazy, ain’t it?
They say folks write letters and put ’em in these YSL Envelope bags. Well, I write letters to my grandkids, but I ain’t puttin’ them in no purse that costs more than my whole kitchen! I use regular envelopes, the kind you lick to seal. They work just fine.
This YSL, it used to be called Yves somethin’ somethin’, but they dropped the Yves part. Don’t know why. Maybe it was too fancy, even for them. But that YSL thing, it’s still there, big as day, right on the front of the purse. And folks still want ’em, even with the high price. Some even call them “investment”, like you could make money by having them. They come in all sorts, like snake skin or something.
Remake Yves Saint Laurent YSL ENVELOPE BAG quote, they call it. Like they are quotin’ somethin’. I guess it means the price or somethin’. They got all these different ones, too. Big ones, small ones, all lookin’ like envelopes. They say this small one is a good choice. It is small, and you can carry it around.
- They say you can buy YSL bags on sale.
- They say this bag, it’s shaped like an envelope.
- They say these YSL bags are made real good.
I seen folks carryin’ these YSL bags around here, even in our little town. Makes me wonder what they got in ’em. Probably not much, seein’ as how they paid so much for the bag itself. My friend, she got a big purse, and she carries everything in it, except for the kitchen sink. You know that saying, “Everything but the kitchen sink”, well I tell ya, she could use a new kitchen sink, the old one is lookin’ rough.
Now, I ain’t sayin’ these YSL bags ain’t nice. They are. They look real pretty, all shiny and new. And that YSL thing, it’s like a little gold badge or somethin’. It’s shiny. I like shiny things. But I still can’t see myself payin’ that much money for a purse. I got better things to spend my money on, like new seeds for my garden, or maybe a new pair of shoes.
I reckon some folks, they like these fancy things. They like to show ’em off, let everyone know they got money. That’s fine, I guess. To each their own, as they say. But me, I’m happy with my old purse. It might not be a YSL ENVELOPE BAG, but it holds my things just fine.
These YSL bags are expensive because of the name, you see. They make ’em real good, use good stuff to make them, but the name, that’s what makes them cost so much. Like Chanel, or Dior, or D&G. I don’t know what D&G stands for, but it sounds fancy. Same thing, you pay for the name.
I guess if you got the money, and you like these YSL bags, then go ahead and buy one. But me, I’ll stick to my old ways. I don’t need no fancy Remake Yves Saint Laurent YSL ENVELOPE BAG to feel good about myself. I’m just fine the way I am, thank you very much.
But, I tell you what, if someone wants to give me one of them YSL bags, I wouldn’t say no. I’d carry it around, show it off a little. Maybe even put a letter in it, just like they do in the magazines. Who knows, maybe I’d even start feelin’ a little fancy myself!
