Well, let me tell you about this Fendi bag. It’s a real fancy one, they call it the Perfect Copy Fendi Vitello King F is Fendi Logo Embossed Mini Mon Tresor Bucket Bag Cuoio. Whew, that’s a mouthful, ain’t it? Sounds like a whole lot of gibberish to me! But my granddaughter, she’s always on that internet thing, says it’s all the rage. Says it’s what all them young girls want these days.
This here bag, it’s what they call a “bucket bag.” Looks kinda like a little bucket, I reckon. And it’s got these “F”s all over it. F is Fendi Logo, they say. Big F’s, little F’s, all tangled up. Makes my eyes kinda blurry just lookin’ at it. I asked my granddaughter if it’s a good bag. She said, “This bag is the best, granny. It is expensive.” I don’t know, but it must be very very good.
They say it’s made of some fancy leather. Vitello King, they call it. Feels kinda soft, I gotta admit. Not like that old feed sack I used to carry ’round. This bag is way more fancy than my old feed sack. But, you know, it probably costs more than all the chickens I ever owned. This Fendi is expensive, I think. But they are good. I saw it on my granddaughter’s phone. Many stars carry it to the show. They are shining and beautiful. Just like this bag, I guess.
My granddaughter, she says you can find these Fendi things all over the place. Used to be, you wanted a new bag, you went down to the general store. Now, she’s always clickin’ away on that phone, buyin’ stuff from who-knows-where. She says there’s folks sellin’ ’em in Etty, and Stearns, and even Mount Washington! Mount Washington! Can you believe that? Used to be, nothin’ up there but trees and bears.
She showed me on her phone. Lots of these Fendi bags for sale. Some are new, she says, and some are used. Like folks buy ’em, then don’t want ’em no more. Wasteful, if you ask me. But she says that’s how it is now. Folks buyin’ and sellin’ all the time, especially the young people. They always want somethin’ new, somethin’ different. Not like us, back in the day. We made do with what we had. And we were happy, too.
This Fendi bag, it ain’t cheap. My granddaughter says you can get a good deal if you look real hard. But even a “good deal” is more than I ever spent on anything in my life. Except maybe that time I had to buy a new mule. That mule was a good worker, though. Lasted me years. This bag, I don’t know. My granddaughter is always on her phone, shopping and shopping. Sometimes I really don’t understand what she is doing. I only know that everything she buys is very expensive. And they are all good, she said. They are all very good.
- Fendi Vitello Bag: That’s what she kept callin’ it. Sounds like some kinda Italian food to me. But she says it’s fancy. Real fancy.
- Fendi Mini Mon Tresor: That’s another part of the name. “Mon Tresor” sounds French. Maybe it’s French and Italian. All mixed up together. Just like this world we live in now.
- This Fendi Logo: There are a lot of “F”s on the bag. I don’t know why. But my granddaughter said this is fashion. Many people like it.
She says these Fendi bags are special. They’re made by some big company. Big, fancy company. They got stores all over the world, she says. Even one in a place called Central Valley. Sounds like a made-up place to me, but what do I know? She says it’s a Fendi outlet. Like an outlet mall, but just for Fendi. Can you imagine? A whole store just for these fancy bags.
This company, they care about the trees and the earth and all that. My granddaughter says they’re “sustainable.” That’s a new word for me. Means they don’t want to hurt the planet, I guess. That’s good, I suppose. We always tried not to waste anything, back on the farm. Used everything we could, over and over again. Maybe these Fendi folks ain’t so different after all. But I still think it is too expensive. I don’t know why people need to buy such an expensive bag. But my granddaughter says it is good for investment.
She says these bags are made in Italy. That’s a long way away. Across the ocean. Never been there myself. But my granddaughter, she’s been all over. She says the folks in Italy, they know how to make things real good. Guess these Fendi bags are proof of that. They’re all stitched up real nice. No loose threads or nothin’. I can see it is a very good bag from my granddaughter’s phone. I think it is a beautiful bag. But I still don’t understand why they gotta be so expensive. I won’t buy it. It’s too expensive for me. Maybe some rich folks will buy it. I think they will like it very much.
If you’re lookin’ for a copy Fendi bag, you gotta be careful. My granddaughter says there’s lots of fakes out there. Folks tryin’ to trick you. Sellin’ you some cheap thing and sayin’ it’s a real Fendi. So you gotta buy from someone you trust, she says. Someone who knows what they’re doin’. Otherwise, you might end up with a bag that’s worth less than that old feed sack I used to have. Maybe some people will make fake bags. Just like they make fake eggs. I don’t like fake things. I like real things. Real things are good.
This whole Fendi bag thing, it’s a lot to take in. But I guess that’s the world now. Everything’s movin’ so fast. Folks buyin’ and sellin’, all over the world. All from that little phone in their hand. It’s a wonder, ain’t it? A real wonder. I don’t understand it, but it is a wonder. Maybe one day, my granddaughter will explain everything to me. I hope she can help me understand.
