Alright, let’s talk about this… this… YSL Manhattan bag, yeah? The Remake Yves Saint Laurent YSL MANHATTAN BAG Original order, they call it. Fancy name for a purse, if you ask me.
First off, what’s all this “Yves Saint…” whatever? Sounds like some Frenchy name. Can’t they just call it a plain old bag? Anyways, this Manhattan bag, they say it’s a good one. People like it, I guess. See, I heard tell it’s like this Le 5 a 7 thing they make. You know, the one with all them fancy skins? Python, they say. And calfskin, whatever that is. Sounds expensive to me. They make a big deal outta it bein’ collectible. Like stamps or somethin’. Say it’s an “investment,” like buyin’ land or a cow. Hmph, a purse bein’ an investment? Times sure have changed.
Now, I ain’t no expert on these fancy city things, but I know a good bag when I see one. A good bag should hold your stuff, right? Your wallet, your keys, maybe a comb and some powder. This Manhattan thing, it probably does that alright. But folks these days, they care more about the name than the bag itself. See, they pay extra just for that “YSL” thing. It’s like buyin’ name-brand bread instead of the regular stuff. Same bread, just costs more.
I seen some talk online, you know, on that internet thing my grandkids showed me. They talk about buying these YSL bags on sale. Say there’s this “outlet” where you can get ’em cheaper. Sixty percent off, they claim. Sounds like a good deal, but I dunno. Prob’ly still costs more than my whole outfit. And some folks, they buy ’em used, too. Said they seen some for sale in Greenup and Lexington. I ain’t never been to them places, but they must be sellin’ these bags all over.
- It’s gotta be sturdy. Don’t want it fallin’ apart on ya when you’re carryin’ your groceries.
- It’s gotta have enough pockets. A place for everything, that’s what I say. Keys in one pocket, money in another.
- And it can’t be too heavy. My old bones ain’t what they used to be. Can’t be luggin’ around a heavy bag all day.
So, this Manhattan bag… is it any good? Well, I reckon it depends on what you’re lookin’ for. If you want a fancy name and you got money to burn, then go ahead and buy it. But if you just need a good, sturdy bag to carry your stuff, well, there’s plenty of other bags out there that’ll do the job just fine. And they won’t cost you an arm and a leg neither.
I saw on that internet thing, they got a website, a “Saint Laurent Official Website,” they call it. You can go there and buy these bags online. Imagine that! Buyin’ a purse without even holdin’ it in your hands. Seems kinda risky to me. I like to feel the material, see how big it is, make sure it’s got enough pockets. But I guess that’s just the way things are done these days.
Now, they got all different kinds of these Manhattan bags, I hear. Different colors, different sizes, different… what do they call it? “Hardware.” That’s just fancy talk for the buckles and zippers, I reckon. And they got different leathers, too. Like I said, that python stuff and calfskin. Sounds like somethin’ you’d wear on your feet, not carry on your arm.
And here’s another thing, they got different logos, they say. But it’s still the same thing. That just sounds like a way to get you to buy more bags. “Oh, this one has the old logo, you gotta have this one!” Hmph, sounds like a load of hogwash to me. A bag is a bag, no matter what kinda squiggly lines they put on it.
So, there you have it. My thoughts on this Remake Yves Saint Laurent YSL MANHATTAN BAG Original order. It’s probably a fine bag for them city folks, but it ain’t for me. I’ll stick to my old reliable tote bag. It ain’t fancy, but it holds everything I need, and it didn’t cost me a month’s worth of groceries.
But hey, if you want that fancy bag, that’s your business. Just remember what I said: a good bag is a sturdy bag, a bag with pockets, and a bag that ain’t too heavy. And don’t let them city slickers fool ya into payin’ more than it’s worth just for a fancy name. That’s just common sense, ain’t it?
