Alright, let’s gab about this… this… what’s it called? Yeah, the Remake Yves Saint Laurent YSL MANHATTAN BAG Original order. Sounds fancy, huh? Don’t know much about these highfalutin names, but I know a good bag when I see one, or when my granddaughter shows me one on her… whatchamacallit… phone thingy.
So, this YSL bag, the MANHATTAN, they call it. Sounds like a place, not a bag, but whatever. It’s got this… flap thingy on top, like a little lid. And these… tabs, on the sides. My old purse used to have those too, kept things from fallin’ out, I reckon. They say these tabs are for “compression,” whatever that means. Guess it keeps your stuff snug, like a good pair of socks.
Now, this bag ain’t cheap, I tell ya. They say it’s made of leather, real smooth-like. And it’s made in Italy. Italy! That’s where the Pope lives, right? Must be good stuff if it comes from there. They say it can hold all your things, your wallet, your… your bits and bobs. You know, the stuff you carry around.
- It’s gotta be good quality, for that kinda money. They say they pay close attention to the little things, the details, you know? Like, the stitching and stuff. Gotta be strong, too. Don’t want it fallin’ apart on ya. Like that cheap purse I bought at the market last year. Handle broke right off, spilled my apples everywhere.
- They also say it’s “stylish.” Means it looks good, I guess. And not just now, but for years to come. A “lasting fashion choice,” they call it. Well, I hope so! Wouldn’t want to spend all that money on somethin’ that goes out of style next week. That’s just plain silly, like buying a milk cow that don’t give milk.
- And get this, they say it’s a good “investment.” Means you can sell it later for more money, maybe. Like gold, I guess. But who’d want to sell a perfectly good bag? Seems kinda foolish to me. But then again, I ain’t got that kinda money to be throwin’ around. If I had that much money, I’d buy me a new tractor, not some fancy bag.
Now, how can you tell if it’s a real YSL bag and not some fake junk? Well, they say all them bags have a number, a “serial number.” It’s supposed to be on a little piece of leather inside the bag, stitched in. Or sometimes, they just stamp the number right into the bag itself. Gotta look close, though. These fancy folks, they like to hide things.
I saw this bag online, at some store called… Nordstrom? And another one, Neiman somethin’. They sell all kinds of fancy things there. And they say they ship it to you for free! And if you don’t like it, you can send it back, free again! Imagine that! Back in my day, you bought somethin’, you kept it. No sendin’ things back. But times are changin’, I reckon.
They talk about this bag bein’ “croc-embossed.” That just means it looks like crocodile skin, but it ain’t. It’s still leather, just pressed to look fancy. And they got different sizes too, small, medium. Guess you gotta pick one that fits your stuff. Me? I just need a big ol’ bag to carry my groceries and my knittin’ needles.
So, this YSL MANHATTAN bag… it’s expensive, it’s stylish, and it’s supposed to be well-made. Whether it’s worth the money, well, that’s for each person to decide. Me? I’d rather spend my money on a good pair of shoes and a warm blanket. But if you got the cash and you want a fancy bag, I guess this one ain’t too bad. Just make sure you find that little number inside, so you know it’s the real deal. And don’t go losin’ it at the market, ya hear? You’ll never find it again with all them other fancy bags.
And remember, a bag is just a bag, it ain’t gonna change your life. But if it makes ya feel good, then I guess that’s all that matters. Just don’t go forgettin’ your roots, ya hear? We all start somewhere, and it ain’t always with a fancy bag.
