This Yves Saint Laurent, YSL COLLEGE BAG, they say it is good. I saw my neighbor’s daughter, she got one from who knows where. Big city maybe. She goes to the city a lot, that girl. Says she works there, brings back all these fancy things. This bag, it’s one of them.
They call it COLLEGE BAG, like the place you go to learn. Ain’t never seen a school bag like that though. We just used old sacks back in my day. Strong ones, mind you, for carrying all them heavy books. This bag, it looks soft. Pretty, but soft.
They say it’s Yves Saint Laurent, some fancy name. I don’t know nothin’ about that. But it’s famous, that’s what they all say. Famous like them movie stars. This bag, they say it costs a lot. Like a whole year’s worth of eggs, maybe more! Crazy, right? For a bag!
- This bag, it’s got a shiny thing on it. Like a buckle, but not. Fancy.
- It’s got a strap, long one. You can wear it across your body, like them mailmen.
- They say it’s made of real leather. Smells like a new saddle. Good leather, I guess.
My neighbor’s daughter, she carries it everywhere. To the market, to visit her friends, even to church! She says it makes her feel good. Like a queen, she says. I don’t know about that. But it does look nice, I gotta admit. Shiny and new. Not like my old bag, all worn out and patched up.
Now, they got this store, big one. Official flagship store, they call it. Biggest one in the whole world, they say! Imagine that. A whole store just for these bags and other fancy stuff. They got all kinds of them there. Big ones, small ones, different colors. Like a rainbow, but made of bags. My neighbor’s daughter, she dreams of going there. Saving all her money, she is. Says one day she’ll buy another bag from there. A bigger one, maybe. Or a red one. She likes red.
If you buy these Yves Saint Laurent Handbags in Europe, they say it’s cheaper. Like, way cheaper. I heard it’s 20% less. That’s a lot of eggs! And if you’re a tourist, you get even more money back. They call it VAT refund, or somethin’ like that. Sounds complicated. But cheaper is cheaper, that’s what I always say. Maybe one day, if I save enough pennies, I’ll go to Europe and get me one of these bags. Probably not, though. Too old for that kind of travel now.
They say you can buy these bags used too. Used Yves Saint Laurent Handbags, they call them. Cheaper, of course. But who wants a used bag? I don’t know. Some folks do, I guess. They say it’s still good, even if it’s used. Like a used car, maybe. Still runs, just not as shiny.
There’s a place called The RealReal, they sell these used bags. And they say they check them, make sure they’re real. ‘Cause apparently, there’s fake ones out there. Can you believe that? People making fake Yves Saint Laurent bags! Trying to trick folks. Shameful, that’s what it is.
Some folks, they can’t afford these YSL bags. Too much money. So they buy ones that look like them. YSL bag dupes, they call them. They look the same, almost. But they’re not real. And they’re way cheaper. My neighbor’s other daughter, the younger one, she got one of those. Looks just like her sister’s bag, but it didn’t cost as much. She’s happy with it, though. And that’s all that matters, I suppose.
You can find these bags in big stores, like Nordstrom. My niece told me. Women’s Saint Laurent Handbags she searched online. They got all kinds, she says. You can even buy them online! Imagine that, buying a bag from a picture! Times have changed, that’s for sure.
I saw one online, a small one. They said it was $595. Still a lot of money. But they said it was a good deal. A good deal from Yves Saint Laurent. I guess if you’re gonna spend that much money, it better be a good deal, right?
This YSL COLLEGE BAG, it’s a mystery to me. Why folks spend so much money on a bag. But I guess it makes them happy. And that’s somethin’, ain’t it? To be happy. Even if it’s because of a bag. This Remake Yves Saint Laurent YSL COLLEGE BAG Official flagship store thing. Still think it’s a lot for a bag, though.
