Alright, let’s gab about them fancy bags, the YSL thingamajigs, yeah, the Yves Saint Laurent Envelope Bags. Don’t know much about high-falutin’ fashion, but I know a good bag when I see one, even if it’s just in pictures on that there internet thingy.
So, these YSL bags, they got different kinds, see? Like that “Le 5 à 7” one. Some are plain leather, some are all fancy with snake skin lookin’ stuff. They call it “python” and “calfskin”. Sound like somethin’ you’d find on the farm, but I reckon it’s all dressed up and expensive. These special ones, they say they’re “limited edition,” which means they don’t make a whole heap of ’em. And that, so they tell me, makes ’em worth more money later on, like an “investment,” they call it.
- How to Spot a Real YSL Bag: Now, if you’re gonna spend your hard-earned cash on one of these, you gotta make sure it ain’t a fake. There’s a little tag inside, sewed into the lining, near the zipper at the top. It’s got a bunch of numbers on it, a “serial number” they call it. Twelve numbers, with a little dot in the middle. That’s how you know it’s the real McCoy.
- YSL or Saint Laurent? What’s the Diff?: Some folks call it YSL, some call it Saint Laurent. Confusin’, ain’t it? Well, it’s the same thing, like callin’ your husband “honey” or “old man,” still the same fella. They changed the name a while back, but folks still use both. And the bags, they got different lookin’ letters on ’em sometimes, but they’re all from the same place.
These bags, they ain’t made just in one place, y’know. They make ’em all over, in different countries. Just like them clothes and shoes you buy at the store, some come from here, some come from there. It’s a big world, and these fancy folks, they get their stuff made wherever they can, I guess.
I hear tell some folks buy these bags and just keep ’em, like they’re treasures or somethin’. Never use ’em, just stick ’em in a closet. Seems like a waste to me, a good bag should be used, carried around, showed off a bit. But what do I know? I carry my stuff in a feed sack, and it works just fine.
Now, if you’re lookin’ to buy one of these YSL Envelope Bags, you gotta go to a special store. Can’t just find ‘em at the Piggly Wiggly, that’s for sure. They got their own stores, and some fancy department stores, places with shiny floors and people dressed up like they’re goin’ to church. And they probably cost more than my whole house, but hey, if you got the money, why not?
And speaking of fancy stores, there’s lots of other places sellin’ fancy stuff too. Perfumes and makeup, they call it “cosmetics.” Places with names I can’t even pronounce. They say they got “1500 world brands,” whatever that means. And you can order online, which is mighty convenient, I reckon. Though I don’t trust that internet too much, someone might steal your money. They say it’s “100% authentic” which I guess means it ain’t fake, like them YSL bag numbers.
And then there’s them stores for women’s undergarments, like that Victoria’s Secret place. They sell bras and panties and all sorts of things. They got “loungewear” too, which I guess is fancy pajamas. And they say they got “bra-fit experts” so you don’t end up with somethin’ that pinches and squeezes. Goodness knows, a woman needs a comfortable bra, whether she’s workin’ in the fields or goin’ to a fancy party. And they got “accessories” too, like them bags, but maybe not as pricey, I don’t know.
So, there you have it, my two cents on them YSL Envelope Bags and all that fancy stuff. I may not know much about fashion, but I know a thing or two about quality and gettin’ your money’s worth. And whether you’re carryin’ a YSL bag or a feed sack, it’s what’s inside that counts, right? Though, I reckon a nice bag don’t hurt none.
If you gonna buy a YSL, just remember what I told ya, look for that little tag with the numbers, and make sure you’re buyin’ it from a real store, not some fella sellin’ stuff out of the back of his truck. And if you can’t afford it, don’t go frettin’ yourself, it ain’t the end of the world. There’s more important things in life than fancy bags.
Now, I gotta go feed the chickens.
