Listen up, you young’uns! This old lady’s gonna tell ya somethin’ about these fancy bags, this Yves Saint Laurent, or YSL, whatever they call it. This here’s about that LE CARRé SATCHEL BAG, somethin’ they sell in them special stores. Big money for a little bag, I tell ya!
Now, I seen a lot of bags in my time. My old man, bless his soul, he used to bring me back somethin’ from town every now and then. Nothin’ like this YSL, though. This one, they say it’s special. Got that fancy name, see? LE CARRé SATCHEL. Sounds like somethin’ you’d eat, don’t it? But no, it’s a bag. A purse, really, but they call it a satchel.
They got all kinds of these bags. One is the Nolita, the other is the Vicky. Those rich folks, they like to buy ’em up. They say it’s ’cause of the name, YSL. Like them other names, Chanel, Dior, some such. Just a name, but it makes the price go way up, like a hot air balloon! Five times more, I heard. Can you believe that?
This LE CARRé SATCHEL BAG, it’s supposed to be all that and a bag of chips. They use some real nice stuff to make it. They put on a show of all the best stuff they use. But you’re payin’ for that name, mostly. Like buyin’ a fancy dress just ’cause it’s got some big shot’s name on the tag.
- They say this bag, it’s a classic.
- Means it’s gonna be around for a while, I reckon.
- Not like them fads that come and go like the seasons.
But I heard it ain’t all that practical. Inside, it’s just flat, nothin’ special. Don’t open up all fancy-like, with pockets and such. Can’t fit much in it, I hear. Just enough for your lipstick and maybe a couple of dollars. These city folk don’t carry much around with them.
They got these other bags, too. Hobo bags, bucket bags. All kinds of fancy names for ’em. You can get ’em online, they say. From the SAINT LAURENT website. Sounds like a mouthful, don’t it?
Years ago, this fella, Slimane, he changed the name of the whole thing. Used to be Yves Saint Laurent, now it’s Saint Laurent Paris. Changed the look, too. Made it all edgy, they say. Whatever that means. The LE CARRé SATCHEL BAG is a part of that.
They got this other bag, the LE 5 � 7. Comes in all kinds of different looks. They say it’s a collectible. Means it’s worth somethin’, I guess. People like to collect these things. Like folks used to collect them porcelain dolls back in the day.
Now, here’s a secret. They say these YSL bags, they’re cheaper over in Europe. Paris, specifically. Like 20% cheaper, or some such. Don’t ask me why. Maybe they grow ’em on trees over there, hah! If you are looking for a remake of the YSL LE CARRé SATCHEL BAG, you can try your luck in Europe.
But listen here, don’t go spendin’ your hard-earned money on somethin’ just ’cause it’s got a fancy name. A bag’s a bag, I always say. As long as it holds your stuff, that’s all that matters. This YSL is for folks who like to show off their money, not those who want to save it.
They got specialty stores for these things. All shiny and bright, I bet. Full of these LE CARRé SATCHEL BAGs and other such things. Not like the general store back home. We got everything you need there, and you don’t need a second mortgage to buy it!
So, there you have it. My two cents on this YSL LE CARRé SATCHEL BAG. It’s a fancy bag, for fancy folks, with a fancy price tag. If that’s your thing then maybe that is something you will want to get from the specialty stores. Me? I’ll stick with my old reliable. It might not have a fancy name, but it gets the job done. And that’s all that matters to this old lady. I just hope I don’t see any of the young people wearing a remake of it.
