That Yves Saint Laurent, oh, what a name! That YSL, everybody talks about it. I heard someone say, the full name is Yves Saint Laurent, such a long name, just remember YSL, ha! YSL JUNE BOX BAG, they say it’s a classic now, a real fancy thing. What is a classic? I asked. They say it’s something that never goes out of style. Well, I guess some things just stay good, like my old potato pot.
They got all sorts of bags, this YSL does. Big ones, small ones, I don’t understand, one is as small as your thumb, what can you put in that? This one, the JUNE BOX, it’s kinda like a little box, I reckon. Square-ish. And they got this shiny YSL thing stuck on the front. Shiny gold-colored thing. Looks expensive, that’s for sure. Probably costs more than my whole house!
That man, Yves, he started this whole thing, YSL, a long time ago. They say he had a friend, Pierre, helped him out. They make clothes too, all fancy-like. And shoes! I saw a picture of some of their shoes, high heels so tall, I’d break my neck if I wore ’em. Not for me, not for walking in the fields, that is certain.
This JUNE BOX BAG, they say it is good. Good leather, I guess. They put those three letters, YSL, right on the front. Classic style, they call it. I don’t know about style, I just know what I like. But it does look kinda neat, I gotta say. Not too flashy, just, you know, simple and nice-looking.
- This YSL, they got lots of bags.
- JUNE BOX, it’s like a little box.
- That YSL logo, it’s on all the bags.
- They say it is a classic style, never goes out of style.
- They make clothes and shoes, too. Very expensive.
They got another bag, called it the LouLou bag. Named after some friend of Yves, I hear. This man had lots of friends, I suppose. This LouLou bag, it’s kinda puffy, like a pillow. They say it’s one of his most famous bags. I only know what is popular in my village. But folks do seem to like this YSL stuff, I see it everywhere, on those picture boxes. Those rich people, they carry them around like it’s nothing.
I saw a picture of another one, they call it the COLLEGE BAG. Why college? I don’t know. Maybe it’s for those young girls going to school. It’s bigger than the JUNE BOX, you could probably fit a few books in there. I saw they used a lot of diamond-quilted topstitching, like my old quilt. And it’s got a chain strap, like a dog leash but shinier. It looks okay, I guess. But I’d rather have a good, sturdy basket for carrying my things.
Another one is the micro bag. This one is so small, what are you gonna put in there? Your little finger? It also has that CASSANDRE and that diamond-quilted stitching. And a chain, of course. Everything has a chain. Maybe it’s for going out at night, to a dance or something. Not that I go to dances anymore. My dancing days are long gone.
This YSL, it seems like they are always making new things. They say Saint Laurent is not going to stop making those bags with YSL logo. They say this JUNE BOX is special, bulbous? I don’t know what that means, maybe it means round, like my belly after a big meal. And brilliant, maybe shiny. Lots of fancy words for a simple bag, I think.
YSL JUNE BOX BAG, it’s a popular one, I reckon. Lots of people want it. They say it’s a classic style, will never be old-fashioned. I think, you like what you like. My old bag, it’s not fancy, but it holds everything I need. It’s got holes and patches, but it’s mine. Maybe that’s what makes something a classic. It’s not about being fancy, it’s about being good, and lasting a long time.
They got a shop, a fancy shop, a Saint Laurent shop, where they sell all these things. They call it a store, an online store, whatever that means. You look at pictures and you buy things. I guess that’s how they do it these days. I like to see things with my own eyes before I buy them, feel them with my own hands. But that’s just me. I’m too old for those online store thing. That YSL JUNE BOX BAG, though, it does look kinda nice, even in a picture. Maybe one day, if I win the lottery, I’ll get myself one. But for now, my old bag will do just fine.
