Well, hey there! Today, I wanna talk about that fancy YSL ENVELOPE BAG. You know, the one all them city girls are carryin’ around? I seen it in them picture shows, and it sure looks somethin’ special. Ain’t cheap, though. No siree, that kinda bag costs more than my old cow Bessie! But I got an idea! What if we remake one ourselves?
Now, I ain’t no fancy seamstress. My hands are more used to milkin’ cows and tendin’ the garden. But I reckon we can figure this out. First thing’s first, we need to find somethin’ that looks like that YSL ENVELOPE BAG. It’s got that flap, you see, shaped just like a letter you’d send in the mail. So, we need somethin’ with a flap like that.
Maybe an old purse? Or even a piece of leather from that old jacket in the attic? We gotta look for somethin’ sturdy. This YSL ENVELOPE BAG, it ain’t flimsy. It’s made to last, I tell ya. And that shiny thing on the front, that YSL thingamajig, well, we’ll figure that out later. For now, let’s just focus on the shape.
Okay, so here’s what we need:
- Somethin’ leather-like, or a sturdy fabric, for the bag. Black is a good color, but you pick what you like, honey!
- Needle and thread. Strong thread, mind you. Don’t want this thing fallin’ apart.
- Scissors. Sharp ones!
- Maybe some cardboard to help it keep its shape. You know, like the bottom of a cereal box.
I seen them sellin’ those YSL ENVELOPE BAG things at fancy stores, Neiman Marcus and Bloomingdale’s. Heard of ’em. They got all sorts of fancy names for their bags – chain wallets, crossbody bags. Whatever that means. But a bag is a bag, far as I can tell. Don’t need no fancy name to carry your things. But this YSL ENVELOPE BAG, oh my, they are expensive. Over eight hundred bucks. My word. We are not payin’ that!
Now, I saw a picture of one of them models, Hailey somethin’, carryin’ a YSL ENVELOPE BAG. Looked mighty fine, I gotta admit. But I bet you my bottom dollar she got that for free. They give those things to famous folks, hopin’ we’ll all want one too. Well, we might want one, but we ain’t payin’ those prices! We’ll make our own!
We can take the leather-like material and cut the shape of this YSL ENVELOPE BAG. I think we need a long piece for the body of the bag. Then, we need another piece for that flap. Remember, it’s gotta be shaped like an envelope. You got that? Good.
Next, we sew it together. Now, I ain’t sayin’ this is gonna be easy. Sewin’ can be tricky. But we’ll take it slow. One stitch at a time. We’ll sew the sides of the bag, and then we’ll attach that flap. Make sure it’s good and secure. We don’t want it flappin’ open and losin’ all our things.
That YSL metal thing on the front of the YSL ENVELOPE BAG is what they call their signature branded metal hardware. Sounds important. It is just a fancy decoration. Don’t you worry, we’ll come up with somethin’ similar. Maybe a shiny button or somethin’. It’s all about that look, you see. And we can make it look just as good, or maybe even better!
I also heard the name “Cassandre.” It’s another fancy name they give these bags. Small, Large, Flap. Don’t matter. They’re all shaped like an envelope. That is the most important. So we can make our own Cassandre, Flap bag, all right?
Then there’s the strap. Them YSL ENVELOPE BAGs, they got a chain strap. We can use an old chain, maybe from a broken necklace. Or we can use a leather strap. Whatever you got on hand. We’ll attach it to the sides of the bag, and there you have it! A strap for your shoulder.
Macy’s, another one of them fancy stores, they sell clothin’ and shoes and all sorts of things. I bet they sell bags too. But again, too pricey for my taste. We’re makin’ our own, remember? It’ll be just as good, and it’ll be special because we made it ourselves.
Now, this ain’t gonna be a perfect copy of a YSL ENVELOPE BAG. But it’ll be close enough. And it’ll be ours. We can carry it with pride, knowin’ we made it with our own two hands. And that’s somethin’ special, ain’t it?
So, what do you say? Are you ready to get started? Let’s gather our supplies and get to work. We’re gonna make ourselves a beautiful bag, just like that fancy YSL ENVELOPE BAG, but without spendin’ a fortune. And who knows, maybe we’ll even start a new trend! Everyone will be wantin’ one of our homemade bags. And we’ll just smile and say, “Well, honey, it ain’t no YSL ENVELOPE BAG Official flagship store, but it’s close enough!” Now, let’s get to work!
