That Yves Saint Laurent, what a fancy name, huh? Remake Yves Saint Laurent YSL ENVELOPE BAG, they say. Sounds like some rich folks’ talk to me. But I seen those bags, them YSL ENVELOPE BAG things, all shiny and new. My granddaughter, she showed me a picture on her phone. Said it’s a Yves Saint Laurent quote or something. She always talkin’ ’bout these YSL bags, YSL bags.
They call it an “envelope.” Well, I got envelopes, too. Mine ain’t made of no fancy leather, though. Just plain ol’ paper. I use ’em for sendin’ letters. This YSL ENVELOPE BAG, it’s for show, I reckon. For carryin’ around nothin’ but money and lipstick, I guess. The Yves Saint Laurent YSL ENVELOPE BAG is kinda popular.
They changed the name, too, she said. From Yves Saint Laurent to just Saint Laurent. Like cuttin’ a long name in half to make it easier to say. Makes sense, I suppose. Them city folk always in a hurry. Gotta make things quick and snappy, like a firecracker. They called it Saint Laurent now. They say it since, like, 2012 or something. A long time now, huh?
Why is it so much money, that bag? It is made of somethin’ special? I seen bags at the market, they cost a few dollars. This one, she says, costs more than my old cow, Bessie! That’s a lot of eggs, I tell ya! These bags sure are expensive. I think that is ’cause they used good stuff. My granddaughter told me so. What is it? Yves Saint Laurent? Anyway, they are expensive, she said.
- They say it’s ’cause it’s made good.
- Real leather, not that fake stuff.
- Shiny buckles and all that.
- Takes time to make ’em, I guess.
This bag, it got a flap, like an envelope, see? And a chain, like a fancy dog leash. But for your shoulder, not for a dog. And it’s got them letters on it, YSL. Big and bold, like a brand on a cow. I think that is the YSL logo. I saw it on her phone. She is crazy about that YSL.
They say these bags, they last a long time. Not like them cheap ones that fall apart after a season. This bag called YSL ENVELOPE BAG is strong. My granddaughter said it could last forever. So maybe that’s why it costs so much. Like buyin’ a good pair of boots. They cost more, but they last ya. I can’t believe people pay that much money for a bag. I would rather buy a new cow, haha.
My granddaughter, she wants one of these bags. She’s savin’ up her money. Works hard at the diner, she does. Says she’ll get one someday. I told her, maybe get a good cow, it can give you milk and money. She laughed. She just wants that YSL bag. I guess young people these days, they like them shiny things.
This Yves Saint Laurent YSL ENVELOPE BAG, I don’t know. It is pretty, I will give you that. If it is old, it is not worth much money, I think. But these ones, the new ones, they’re like gold, I guess. Shiny and new, like a fresh-picked apple. But they don’t keep forever, I think. Even Yves Saint Laurent changes. Like, they said, fashion comes and goes. What is popular today will not be popular tomorrow.
She showed me some other bags, too. Different colors, different sizes. All with that YSL on ’em. Like a mark of somethin’ special. I still think it’s a lot of money for a bag. But hey, if it makes her happy, who am I to say? Maybe one day, she’ll let me borrow it. Just to see what it feels like. A real YSL ENVELOPE BAG. Ha! I will be a star in town!
This whole thing, this YSL, it is big. Yves Saint Laurent, or Saint Laurent, whatever it is now. It is like a story. They even have some words, some Yves Saint Laurent quote or something. I don’t understand. But people like it. I saw many people carry it on the street. They look happy. I guess that’s all that matters. You like it, you buy it. It is simple. Maybe too simple. A bag is a bag to me. But that’s me. I don’t understand much about fashion. I only know about cows and chickens. And they don’t care about no YSL. They only care about food.
