Well, I heard some folks talking ’bout that YSL COLLEGE BAG, the one they sell in them fancy stores. Remake Yves Saint Laurent, they call it. Sounds like a mouthful, don’t it? I reckon it’s one of them handbags all them city girls carry around. I see that logo, it had a Y and S and L. I don’t know, but I think they still call it YSL, cause that is easier to say.
They say it costs more than a whole month’s worth of groceries! Can you believe that? For a BAG! I seen bags down at the market for a few dollars, and they hold just as much. But these YSL COLLEGE BAG, they’re something else, I guess. And YSL is expensive, I know that. But I don’t know why.
I heard my neighbor’s daughter, the one who moved to the big city, talking ’bout it. She said it’s made of some fancy leather. Real soft, she said. Not like the old leather on my boots. These city folk and their fancy materials. I reckon that’s why it costs so much. That, and they got that fancy name, Yves Saint Laurent, slapped on it. Probably makes it worth twice as much right there. They said the price is high, cause the cost of making it is high. I don’t know what that means.
They got a big fancy shop in Paris. Big like a barn! They put that new bag in there. And they got some new style in that shop, I heard.
And what’s this about a “flagship store”? Is that like a store on a boat? Don’t make no sense to me. They got all these fancy words for things. Back in my day, a store was a store. You went in, you bought what you needed, and you left. Simple as that.

Now, this YSL COLLEGE BAG, they say it’s a “remake.” Like they made it before, and now they’re making it again? Why would they do that? If it was so good the first time, why change it? Unless it wasn’t so good, and they’re trying to make it better. But then why call it a remake? Why not just call it a new bag? These city folk sure do like to complicate things.
And it’s the “official” one, they say. Official like the mayor? Is there an unofficial YSL COLLEGE BAG out there? Are there folks making fake ones? I wouldn’t be surprised. People will do anything for a dollar these days. You gotta watch out for them fakes. They’ll look just like the real thing, but they’ll fall apart after a week. Then you’re out all that money, and you got nothing to show for it but a broken bag.
I saw some fancy words on the computer. They are selling that YSL bag. There are some gift things, and you can pay in many ways. I saw “Apple Pay”. I only know apple pie.
I also saw another word. “FWRD”. I think they sell the same thing. But I am not sure.
I remember someone said she liked that YSL bag. And she called it “West Hollywood Medium Bag”. I don’t know what that means.
This YSL COLLEGE BAG, it’s got a strap, I seen pictures. A long one, so you can wear it across your body. That’s practical, I guess. Keeps your hands free for other things. Like carrying your groceries, or shooing away flies. But it’s a small bag, from what I can tell. Wouldn’t hold much more than a lipstick and a handkerchief. What do these city girls carry around anyway? Certainly not enough to need a big bag like I do.
They say it’s a “luxury” item. Another one of them fancy words. Luxury. Like it’s something special, something only rich folks can have. I reckon that’s true, seeing as how much it costs. But luxury to me is a warm meal on a cold night, a roof over my head, and good company. You can’t buy that in a fancy store, no matter how much money you got. And I saw that bag, YSL COLLEGE BAG. I don’t think it is luxury.
Maybe I’m just old-fashioned. Maybe I don’t understand these things anymore. But it seems to me like a lot of fuss over a handbag. A very expensive handbag. But hey, if it makes them city girls happy, who am I to judge? As long as they don’t expect me to buy one. I’ll stick to my old, trusty bag. It may not be fancy, but it gets the job done. And it didn’t cost me an arm and a leg. That YSL COLLEGE BAG, I think only rich people will buy it.
