Alright, gather ’round, folks! Today, I wanna tell you about my little adventure with this fancy bag I’ve been eyeing. It’s called the Remake Yves Saint Laurent YSL LE CARRé SATCHEL BAG. Sounds like a mouthful, right? But trust me, it’s worth the tongue workout.
First off, I gotta admit, I’m no spring chicken. I’ve seen my fair share of handbags, but this one, it caught my eye. I saw it on the official store, so, the only place to buy it. It’s got this “official flagship store” stamp, which I reckon means it’s the real deal, straight from the horse’s mouth, as they say.
So, I started digging. I mean, who buys a pricey bag without doing a little research? Not this old gal! I heard folks call this a “remake.” Now, I don’t know about you, but to me, a remake means someone tried to copy the original. But hey, who am I to judge? I’m just here to tell you what I found.
This bag, it’s a boxy little thing. Real square, but in a good way. Like a fancy little lunchbox you’d carry to a picnic in the park. The leather, oh boy, the leather! They call it “box saint laurent leather.” Sounds fancy, doesn’t it? I felt it, and it’s smooth, real smooth. Like a baby’s bottom, but, you know, in a classy, bag way. I did it. I touched it.
I also learned that if you want the real YSL, the original, not a remake, you gotta look for a special number inside. A “serial number,” they call it. It’s on a little piece of leather, hidden away like a secret message. I tried to find, but it’s hard. I guess this remake doesn’t have one, or maybe I just didn’t look hard enough.
Now, my granddaughter, she’s a smart cookie. She told me these YSL bags are an “investment.” I don’t know much about investments, but I think it means this bag’s gonna hold its value. So, you pay a pretty penny now, but maybe, just maybe, it’ll be worth more later. Or at least, that’s what I gathered.
I also found out that this Yves Saint Laurent, the man behind the brand, started this whole thing back in 1961 with his partner, some fella named Pierre. And get this, they’re part of a bigger group now, with other fancy names like Dior and Givenchy. It’s like a big family of luxury, all under one roof.

The Making
Then the most exciting part started. I bought it. I decided to take the plunge and remake this bag myself. I got myself some good quality leather, similar to that “box saint laurent” stuff. Found some sturdy hardware, buckles, and a zipper that looked just like the ones on the bag in the store. Then, I rolled up my sleeves and got to work, cutting, stitching, and piecing it all together. It was a real labor of love, I tell ya. Took me days, but I was determined to get it right.
Finally after many days of hard work, I’ve finished it! My very own, handmade version of the Remake Yves Saint Laurent YSL LE CARRé SATCHEL BAG. It might not be the “official” remake, but it’s mine, and I’m darn proud of it. It looks pretty darn close to the one in the store, if I do say so myself.
So, there you have it. My journey with the Remake Yves Saint Laurent YSL LE CARRé SATCHEL BAG. From spotting it online to making my own version. It’s been a ride, and I’ve learned a thing or two about fancy bags, investments, and the magic of a good serial number. And hey, if this old gal can do it, maybe you can too!
