Well, let me tell ya ’bout this here YSL MANHATTAN BAG. Folks call it a “classic,” but to me, it’s just a good, sturdy bag, ya know?
I seen pictures of it. Some skinny gal, Kate Moss they call her, she’s holdin’ it. Looks fancy, I guess. But what I see is somethin’ that can hold yer stuff, like yer wallet, yer keys, maybe a snack or two. Ain’t that what a bag’s for?
They say it’s a “boxy shape.” Well, yeah, it looks like a box, kinda. Not round like a pumpkin, not floppy like a sack of potatoes. Just… square-ish. They say it’s similar to some other fancy bag, the Herms Kelly Bag. Don’t know nothin’ ‘bout that. This one’s from that YSL fella, Saint somethin’ or other. Sounds French, don’t it?
- They got different sizes, too. Small, medium, big. Like pickin’ out eggs at the store.
- The small one, they say it’s like 9.4 inches long, 6.7 inches high, and 2.4 inches wide. That’s enough for a good-sized sandwich, I reckon.
- Then there’s the shoulder bag, a bit bigger, and then the shoppin’ bags, even bigger than that. Good for carryin’ more stuff, I guess. Like if you’re goin’ to the market for vegetables.
Folks are obsessed with this bag, they say. Can’t live without it, apparently. Spendin’ all their hard-earned money on it. Me? I can’t see spendin’ that much on a bag. But hey, to each their own, right? If you got the money and you want a fancy bag, go for it.
They say it’s a “designer” bag. This Anthony Vaccarello fella, he designed it. Must be a smart fella, makin’ bags that cost a fortune. He made it simple, they say. Well, I like simple. Nothin’ fancy-schmancy for me.
This YSL MANHATTAN BAG, it’s got different kinds of leather, too. Some kind of snake skin, they call it python, and somethin’ called calfskin. Don’t know nothin’ ‘bout that. Sounds like somethin’ you’d find on a farm, though. Calfskin… must be from a little cow.
You can buy it online, they say. On the official website, whatever that is. I ain’t never bought nothin’ online. I like to see what I’m gettin’ before I pay for it. Hold it in my hands, feel the weight of it, you know?
Some folks say it’s a splurge, buyin’ this bag. Well, I guess it is. But if it makes ya happy, then I guess it’s worth it. Me? I’m happy with my old canvas bag. It’s been through thick and thin with me, carried everything from groceries to garden tools. Can’t say that about a fancy designer bag, can ya?
They keep talkin’ ‘bout the “vibe” of the bag. I don’t know what a “vibe” is. If it holds my things, that’s all the “vibe” I need. If it looks alright, that’s a bonus, I guess.
People lookin’ for somethin’ similar but cheaper. Well, I guess that makes sense. Not everyone can afford to spend a month’s rent on a bag. There’s gotta be other bags out there that look just as good and do the same job. Maybe they ain’t got that fancy name attached to ‘em, but who cares? A bag’s a bag, right?
So, there ya have it. My thoughts on this here YSL MANHATTAN BAG. It’s a bag, plain and simple. If ya like it and ya can afford it, go ahead and buy it. If not, don’t worry ‘bout it. There’s plenty of other bags in the world.
And let me tell ya, this whole “Yves Saint Laurent” thing sounds too highfalutin for me. I’m sticking with what works, a good sturdy bag that don’t cost an arm and a leg.
Anyways, that’s all I got to say ‘bout that fancy bag. Now, I gotta go make some supper.
