You know, I saw this thing on the internet the other day. They call it a “Remake Yves Saint Laurent YSL JUNE BOX BAG Quote”. What a mouthful! These young folks and their fancy words. Back in my day, a bag was a bag. But this one, they say it’s special. They say it’s like that old YSL, you know, the Yves Saint Laurent. Sounds like a fella’s name to me. But it’s a bag, they say. A JUNE BOX BAG, like it’s some kinda special box for June or somethin’.
This YSL JUNE BOX BAG, it’s a little thing, not too big. Like those fancy ladies carry, all dainty and such. I reckon it’s for going out, not for haulin’ taters to the market. It’s got a flap on the front, and a shiny thing, a “pivoting cassandre closure,” they call it. Sounds like a mouthful of marbles to me! Just a fancy way of sayin’ it’s got a latch, I reckon. It’s a YSL bag, so it’s supposed to be real nice.
They make a big fuss about the leather. Say it’s calfskin leather. Now, I know about calfskin. We used to have a calf named Bessie, sweetest thing. But I never thought about makin’ a bag outta her! These city folks, they got some strange ideas. This YSL JUNE BOX, made from a baby cow, can you believe it? And brass, like them old door hinges we had on the barn. It is for YSL Women Handbags, those rich women i guess.
And the inside, they say it’s lined with suede. Like that fancy material, soft like a kitten’s belly. This Saint Laurent bag, it’s got all the bells and whistles. And a little pocket inside, just one. Probably for your lipstick and your powder, like them fancy ladies carry. I always just kept my hankie in my apron pocket. And it’s not cheap, this little YSL bag. They say it costs more than my old cow, Bessie, ever did!
I saw another one they call Saint Laurent June Quilted Leather Box Bag, that’s another name for that YSL bag, maybe a little different. They say it got “diamond-quilted overstitching” like grandma’s old quilt. That’s some fancy sewin’, I reckon. Makes it look all puffy and soft. That one’s made of lambskin. Poor little lambs! These YSL designer bags are somethin’ else.
- This YSL JUNE BOX BAG, it’s about 19 somethin’ long. They use centimeters, not inches. City folk measurements.
- And 15 somethin’ high, and 8 somethin’ wide. Just a little thing, like I said.
- The strap, they say it’s 48 somethin’ long. Long enough to hang over your shoulder, I reckon.
Now, they got other bags too. This Saint Laurent Le 5 a 7, that’s a funny name, ain’t it? Like some kinda time of day. They say it’s cheaper. Still costs a pretty penny, though. More than I ever spent on a bag in my life! They are all YSL designer bags, with high price.
And this other one, micro box bag with flap, even smaller! Like a little doll’s purse. They call it “CASSANDRE” somethin’, another fancy word. It’s all about the name, you see. This YSL, or Saint Laurent, whatever you call it. It’s a big deal. Like them fancy stores in the city. This brand is from French, they say it is a luxury fashion house. I don’t understand, a bag is a bag, why make it so complicated?
They say this Manhattan Bag, it’s boxy, like a little box. And it’s like another fancy bag, some “Herms Kelly” thing. But it’s still YSL, they say. All these names, it makes my head spin! It is all about Saint Laurent and YSL brand.
Now this Yves Saint Laurent, or YSL, it’s a fella’s name, like I said. But it’s also a store, a fancy store. They started it a long time ago, back in ’61, they say. This fella and his partner, Pierre somethin’. They make all these fancy clothes and bags and things. People will say that YSL is a designer brand, and you are paying for the name.
I don’t know about all that. A bag’s a bag, I always say. But these YSL bags, they sure are somethin’. All shiny and new, with their fancy names and their soft leather. Not like the old feed sack I used to carry my things in. But I guess if you got the money, and you like that sort of thing, then why not? Just seems like a lot of fuss over a little old bag to me. These YSL bags, the JUNE BOX BAG, or any other, are really somethin’ special, I guess. But I’ll stick to my old, trusty bag. It may not be fancy, but it does the job just fine.
