You know, that YSL LE CARRé SATCHEL BAG, it’s a real fancy thing. I seen it in them magazines the young’uns read. They call it a classic style. Well, I reckon it’s somethin’ special, but it ain’t for me. Too much money for an old lady like me. But I hear folks talkin’, and they sure do love that bag.
This one girl, she come through here showin’ off her new purse. Said it was a YSL, one of them LE CARRé SATCHEL things. Looked kinda like a little box, all square and proper. She was carryin’ it like it was made of gold. I guess if you got the money, you can buy what you like. She said it is classic.
But this YSL bag, it ain’t got no room in it! Just a flat little thing. Where you gonna put all your stuff? A good bag needs pockets, places to put your things. Now, this ain’t like them other YSL bags I heard about. What was that one called? The Nolita? Yeah, that’s it. And the Vicky, that’s another one. Seem like them has more room. Heard about another one too, big one, called a Cabas Rive Gauche Tote Bag. Now that one might be worth its salt, if you need to carry a whole lot.
- That YSL LE CARRé, it’s a box, they say.
- A box made of fancy leather.
- They call it “BLACK LE CARRé satchel in BOX SAINT LAURENT.” Sounds like somethin’ outta one of them fancy stores.
Now, I seen a lot of bags in my time. Big ones, small ones, ones made of cloth, ones made of leather. This YSL LE CARRé, it’s just another one. A pretty one, sure. But I don’t know if it’s worth all that fuss.
That young girl, she was so proud of it. Said it was from that fancy store, the one online. Said it was the best thing she ever bought. Well, I guess if it makes her happy, that’s all that matters. But my old bag, it does just fine. It is not a YSL bag, but it’s got pockets, and it holds all my things.
I hear them sayin’ YSL is a good brand. High quality, they say. And somethin’ about value. Don’t rightly know what that means, but I guess it means it’s supposed to be worth the money. They got all sorts of things, that YSL. Bags, and shoes, and all kinds of fancy stuff. This LE CARRé is just one of many. They say it’s the most worth it, whatever that means. I ain’t never had nothin’ from YSL, but I imagine it is expensive. This old lady ain’t got that kind of money.
If I was gonna get a fancy bag, it wouldn’t be that little box thing. It’d be somethin’ with some room in it. Somethin’ you could actually use. This YSL LE CARRé, it’s just for show, I reckon. Like them little dogs the rich folks carry around. Not good for much, but they sure are pretty.
- YSL, they say it’s a good brand.
- But it sure is expensive.
- That LE CARRé, it’s a pretty thing, but not for me.
These young’uns today, they spend their money on all sorts of things. Things we never even thought of when I was their age. Back then, a bag was a bag. It didn’t need a fancy name like YSL LE CARRé SATCHEL BAG. It just needed to hold your things.
I remember one time, I saw a woman with a bag so big, she coulda carried a whole chicken in it! Now that’s a bag! This little YSL LE CARRé, you couldn’t fit a chicken leg in there, let alone a whole bird.
But like I said, if it makes them happy, that’s all that matters. It ain’t my place to judge. Just seems like a lot of money for somethin’ so small. But then again, I ain’t never been one for them fancy things. My old bag, it’s served me well. It ain’t a YSL, but it’s mine. And it’s got pockets!
This remake of YSL LE CARRé SATCHEL BAG, it is a classic style, I guess that’s what they all say about it. And maybe it is a good bag for some. Just not for this old lady. I’ll stick to what I know. And what I know is, a good bag is one that holds your things, not one that just looks pretty.
