Well, let me tell you, I seen a thing or two in my time. And these days, all the young folks, they’re all carrying these fancy bags. One I see a lot is this Yves Saint Laurent, or YSL, Envelope Bag. Reminds me of them envelopes we used to get in the mail, ‘cept these are way fancier, and probably cost more than my old cow, Bessie.
Now, if you’re lookin’ for one of these YSL Envelope bags, you gotta go to them special stores. Not like the general store down the road, no sir. These are fancy places, you know, the kind where they look at you funny if you ain’t dressed up like you’re goin’ to Sunday supper. I hear they call one of them “Neiman Marcus.” Sounds like a fella I used to know, but I reckon it’s a store. They got all sorts of them YSL Envelope bags there, from what I hear. Different sizes, colors, the whole shebang.
- Big ones
- Small ones
- Shiny ones
- Plain ones
They even got these little ones they call “chain wallets.” I reckon you can put your money in ’em, maybe some of them cards they use nowadays. And they got these others, “crossbody,” they call ’em. You sling ’em over your shoulder, I guess. Keeps your hands free for pickin’ berries or shooing flies, I suppose. These YSL bags at specialty stores are somethin’ else.
I seen one the other day, a small YSL Envelope bag. Real pretty, it was. Reminded me of my old purse, ‘cept this one probably costs more than my whole darn house. And they say these Yves Saint Laurent bags are a big deal. That YSL, he’s a fancy designer, I guess. They say he’s up there with the best of ’em, like them fancy folks in the city. I ain’t sure what that means, but his bags sure are somethin’.
And if you get one of these YSL Envelope bags, you gotta take care of it, I hear. They got special ways to clean ’em. Not like cleanin’ the barn, no way. This is fancy cleanin’, for fancy bags. They use special stuff to get the dirt off, and they can even fix ’em up if they get messed up. Heard they can even clean off that mold that grows on things when it’s damp. Land sakes, they can do anything these days, can’t they?
Now, I remember this one time, I saw a girl with a large YSL Envelope bag. It was big enough to carry a whole chicken in, I reckon! She was all dressed up, lookin’ like she was goin’ somewhere important. I reckon she was carryin’ important things in that big ol’ bag. Maybe her fancy makeup, or her phone, or maybe even a little dog! You never know with these city folk.
But listen here, these YSL Envelope bags from specialty stores, they ain’t cheap. You gotta have a lot of those green bills to get your hands on one. More than I’ve seen in a coon’s age, that’s for sure. But I guess if you got the money, and you want a fancy bag, then that’s what you do. Just like buyin’ a new tractor, I reckon. If you need it, and you got the money, then you buy it.
I seen a lot of fancy things in my day. Seen folks come and go, seen styles change like the weather. But these YSL Envelope bags, they seem to be stickin’ around. Like an old oak tree, they just keep standin’ there, lookin’ fancy and expensive. And I reckon they’ll be around for a while longer, long as folks keep wantin’ to carry their things in somethin’ that looks like a fancy envelope.
So, if you’re thinkin’ ’bout gettin’ one of these YSL Envelope bags, just remember what I said. They’re fancy, they’re expensive, and you gotta go to them special stores to get ’em. And you gotta take care of ’em, like they’re made of gold. ‘Cause to some folks, I reckon they are.
These specialty stores, they sell lots of these YSL things. Not just bags. Clothes, I hear. And that smelly water they call perfume. Oh, and shoes, too. Shiny shoes. Make you look like a million bucks. If you got that much money to spend that is! But you need to keep clean. A good clean up. They clean the bags. They do shoes. All the leathers.
All I know is, the world keeps turnin’, and folks keep buyin’ fancy things. And me? I’ll just be here, watchin’ it all go by, with my old, beat-up purse that’s seen better days. But it holds my money just fine, and that’s all that matters to me. Them YSL Envelope bags at specialty stores, they sure are somethin’ though. Somethin’ else entirely.
