Well, let’s talk about this… uh… this Manhattan Bag thing, ya know? It’s from that Saint Laurent fella, the one with the fancy name, like “Eves San Lor-rent” or somethin’. Sounds like a place in France, but who am I to say?
This bag, it looks like a box, kinda like those fancy boxes they put cakes in at the city bakery. Only this ain’t for cake, it’s for… well, for carryin’ stuff, I guess. They say it’s like another bag, that “Herms Kelly” one, but this one’s got that YSL thingy on it. Shiny letters, they are. Real eye-catchin’, if you ask me.
Some fella named Anthony, he’s the one who made this bag look the way it does. Says he’s a “Creative Director.” Sounds like a big shot job, makin’ bags and all. He didn’t go makin’ it all complicated, though. It’s just… simple. Plain, almost. But that’s what makes it nice, I reckon. Not too much fuss.
You can go find these bags on the… the… Saint Laurent “Offishul Website,” they call it. They got all sorts of them Manhattan Handbags there, for the ladies, ya know. All lined up like pretty little soldiers. And they got this “Eves San Lor-rent” tag on ‘em, so you know they ain’t cheap. Handbag, they call it. Used to just be a purse, back in my day.
- These bags, they ain’t goin’ outta style anytime soon. They call ’em “classic designs,” which means they’ll still look good even when your hair turns gray, like mine.
- And get this, they say these bags are like… like an “investment.” Like buyin’ gold, or land, or somethin’. You can sell ‘em later for more money, maybe. Course, you gotta keep ‘em nice. No scratchin’ or nothin’.
- They spend a lot of time makin’ these bags, payin’ attention to all the little bits and pieces. Makes ‘em “high quality,” they say. And “elegant.” Fancy words for lookin’ good, I figure.
They started makin’ these YSL MANHATTAN BAG back in 2019, not too long ago. It’s got this shape, ya know, kinda… kinda straight and stiff. And they put this shiny gold or silver stuff on it, makes it sparkle a bit. Hardware, they call it. Like the stuff they sell at the hardware store, only prettier, I guess.
Now, if you’re plannin’ on sellin’ one of these bags later on, you gotta remember some things. The older it is, the less it might be worth. And some kinds are more special than others. And if you go around draggin’ it through the mud, well, nobody’s gonna want it then, are they? Gotta keep it in good shape, like it’s somethin’ precious. Makes sense, I guess. Nobody wants a beat-up old thing.
And one more thing, this “Saint Laurent” name, sometimes they just call it “YSL.” But it’s all the same, ya hear? Don’t let ‘em fool ya. Same fancy bags, same fancy price, no matter what they call it. It’s like how my grandma used to call me “Sarah” even though my name’s “Sally.” Still me, ain’t it? Same goes for this bag. Classic Style and quality, that’s what they say.
So, that’s the story on this YSL MANHATTAN BAG. Simple bag, fancy name, big price. But if you got the money and you want somethin’ that’ll last, well, maybe it’s worth it. Me? I’ll stick with my old canvas tote. Holds just as much, and I don’t have to worry about gettin’ it dirty. But to each their own, I always say.
And if you’re lookin’ for a Remake of the style, well, good luck with that. These fancy folks, they don’t like folks copyin’ their stuff. But maybe you can find somethin’ similar, somethin’ that looks kinda like it, but don’t cost as much. Just gotta keep your eyes peeled, that’s all.
So there it is, all I know about this here bag. Hope it made some sense to ya. It’s more than I usually think about purses, let me tell ya.
