Alright, let’s talk about this… uh… this fancy bag, the Remake Yves Saint Laurent YSL LE CARRé SATCHEL BAG. Sounds like a mouthful, don’t it? I ain’t no city gal, but I know a thing or two about bags, seen enough of ‘em in my day, even if they weren’t this… this… “designer” stuff.
First off, what’s a “satchel” anyway? Sounds like somethin’ you’d put schoolbooks in. But this here bag, it ain’t for no schoolbooks, that’s for sure. It’s for… well, I guess it’s for showin’ off, mostly. Carryin’ your comb and maybe a lipstick. Not like my old market bag, that’s for sure. That thing could carry a whole chicken and a peck of potatoes, no problem.
Now, where do you even find this YSL LE CARRé SATCHEL bag? They say there are “specialty stores.” Specialty, huh? Sounds mighty fancy. Prob’ly one of them places where they look you up and down before you even step inside. Not like the general store down the road, where everyone knows your name. I reckon you gotta go to a big city for these “specialty stores.” Places with tall buildings and more people than I’ve seen chickens in my whole life.
- Finding the Bag: They say you can buy these bags online too. Online! Imagine that. Buyin’ somethin’ you ain’t even touched with your own hands. Seems risky to me. What if it ain’t what you thought? What if it’s got a hole in it? But I guess that’s how the young folks do things these days. They got their “Vestiaire Collective” and their “Browns Fashion.” Sounds like a bunch of gibberish to me.
- Price of the Bag: And the price! Lord have mercy, the price! I heard someone say it costs more than a thousand dollars! A thousand dollars! That’s enough to feed a family for a year, maybe two. You could buy a whole cow for that much! Or a good used truck! But no, folks are spendin’ it on a bag. A bag! Makes no sense to me. They say some go for even less, like around $200, but even that’s a lot of money. I seen some selling for around $1,420.00, even more expensive. Crazy, I tell ya, just crazy.
- What’s it Made Of? They talk about “leather” and “python” and “canvas.” Well, I know leather, had a good pair of leather boots once, lasted me twenty years. But python? That’s snake skin, ain’t it? Seems a bit… wasteful to me. Killin’ a snake just to make a bag. And canvas? That’s like what they make tents out of. So, you’re payin’ all that money for a tent-like bag, or maybe a snake bag if you feeling fancy. I tell you, my old cotton tote bag does the job just fine.
They got different colors too. “Hazelnut,” “brick,” “cream and brown,” and “black.” Sounds like paint colors to me. Or maybe somethin’ you’d find in the garden. Hazelnut’s like them nuts the squirrels like, ain’t it? And brick’s what you build a house with. And cream? Well, that’s what you put in your coffee. Seems like they’re runnin’ out of ideas for names, if you ask me.
And then there’s the “box Saint Laurent.” What’s that even mean? Is it a special box? Does the bag come in a box? Prob’ly does, at that price. Prob’ly a real fancy box too. Maybe with ribbons and tissue paper. More fuss than it’s worth, I say. My old bag, it just came in a paper sack, and it did just fine.
Some places even say “free expedited shipping.” Shipping! Like they’re sendin’ it on a boat or somethin’. And “expedited”? That just means they’re gonna rush it to you. Prob’ly so you can start showin’ it off sooner. And they want over $500 to get that free shipping. My goodness, that’s more than I spend on groceries in a month!
Folks are always lookin’ for a deal, even on these fancy bags. They talk about “subjective ratings.” Subjective? That just means somebody’s opinion, don’t it? One person might say it’s worth a ten, another might say it’s worth a five. All depends on who you ask. I reckon my old bag would get a ten, seein’ as it’s lasted me so long and carried so much.
So, this Yves Saint Laurent YSL LE CARRé SATCHEL BAG… it’s a fancy, expensive bag, sold in special stores and online, made of leather or snake skin or tent material, comes in different colors and maybe a fancy box, and they’ll ship it to you fast if you spend enough money. And folks are willin’ to pay a fortune for it. Well, I guess to each their own. Me? I’ll stick with my old market bag. It ain’t pretty, but it gets the job done. And that’s more than I can say for some things.
Saint Laurent Bags are real popular with the young’uns. They always want the newest thing, the top-handle bags or the shoulder bags. They carry ‘em around like they’re somethin’ precious, always worried about gettin’ a scratch on ‘em. I tell ya, back in my day, a bag was just a bag. You used it ‘til it fell apart, then you got another one. None of this fussin’ and frettin’.
I heard some folks sayin’ that this Saint Laurent Paris brand, it’s the best there is. Well, I don’t know about that. Seems to me like they’re just chargin’ a lot of money for a name. But I guess if folks wanna spend their hard-earned cash on somethin’ like that, it ain’t none of my business. I just hope they ain’t goin’ hungry to buy a LE CARRé satchel in python.
But I guess if you are gonna get one, check them places they mentioned – Neiman Marcus and that “Browns Fashion.” Just make sure you got plenty of money in your pocket, ‘cause these things ain’t cheap. And maybe bring a magnifying glass, so you can see what all the fuss is about with that python skin.
