Well, let me tell you, I seen a thing or two in my days. But this here Yves Saint Laurent YSL JUNE BOX BAG, that’s somethin’ else. I seen it at them fancy stores, you know, the ones with the shiny floors and the girls all dolled up. They call ’em “Specialty Stores,” like it’s some kinda magic. RemakeYves, I hear them say. Like they’re makin’ it all over again. It’s a real head-scratcher, that’s what it is. But folks are sure going crazy for it.
This JUNE BOX BAG, it’s like a little box, all right. Made from, now, what did they call it? Lambskin. Lambskin! Like a little baby sheep. Must be soft, I reckon. And it’s black, like the night sky when there ain’t no moon. They got this shiny YSL thing on it, too. Stands for Yves Saint Laurent, I suppose. Sounds fancy, don’t it?
They got a bunch of other bags, too. All sorts of names, these YSL bags. One’s called LOULOU, all puffy-like. Reminds me of that cloud-shaped pillow I saw once. Then there’s the NIKI. Sounds like a young gal’s name. And the ICARE, now that one’s a mystery. But they’re all lined up there, lookin’ pretty. Them YSL Saint Laurent Bag are all shiny and new. People like them a lot, I guess. Those YSL Cassandre logo is everywhere.
I seen a young girl, she was wearin’ one of them bags. A shoulder bag, they call it. She looked like a movie star, all dressed up. Said it was called LE 5 7. Five to seven, like the time you get supper ready. Funny name for a bag, ain’t it? But she was sure proud of it. She must save a lot of money for these designer bags.
They got these bags in all kinds of colors, too. You want a red one? They got it. You want a brown one, like the dirt road out back? They got that, too. This LOULOU bag, they say it was named after some fancy lady. Must’ve been somethin’, that lady, to get a bag named after her. It’s all about names, I reckon. These folks, they put a name on somethin’, and suddenly it’s worth a whole lot more. Just like that newest “IT” bag, the Take-Away Box Bag. I heard it’s very popular, just like that ICare tote bag before it.
And they wrap ’em up all nice, these bags. Put ’em in a box, tie a ribbon around it. Like a present. Except you gotta pay for it yourself! And it ain’t cheap, neither. I seen the prices. Made my eyes water, they did. But they said that all the orders from * are gift wrapped. You know, it’s all about the show, ain’t it?
- This here JUNE BOX, it’s black.
- They got LOULOU, NIKI, ICARE, all them fancy names.
- That LE 5 7, it’s a shoulder bag.
- They wrap ’em up like presents.
- Them bags, they ain’t cheap!
- This Sunset Bag, they say it’s been around a while. Since 2016, I think they said. That’s a long time in the bag world, I reckon.
- LE 5 7, they got it in python. Now that’s a snake, ain’t it? And calfskin, that’s a baby cow. They use all sorts of things to make these bags.
Now, I don’t know much about these fancy things. I’m more of a feed sack kinda gal myself. But I can see why folks like ’em. They’re pretty, I’ll give ’em that. And they make you feel special, I suppose. Like you’re part of somethin’ bigger. Somethin’ fancy.
But me? I’ll stick to my old ways. I don’t need no fancy YSL bag to tell me who I am. I know who I am. And I’m happy with that. But these young folks, they like these things. And that’s all right, too. To each their own, as they say.
These stores, these “Specialty Stores,” they’re full of these things. All shiny and new. And folks are buyin’ ’em up. Must be doin’ somethin’ right, I reckon. They even have websites now, where you can buy these things online. Imagine that! The world’s changin’, that’s for sure. But one thing’s for sure, folks still like their pretty things. And these Yves Saint Laurent bags, well, they’re about as pretty as they come.
So, if you got the money, and you want one of these JUNE BOX BAGs, or any of them other ones, you go right ahead. Just don’t forget where you came from. And remember, it’s what’s inside that counts. Not the fancy bag you carry it in. But hey, what do I know? I’m just watchin’ the world go by, one fancy bag at a time. These bags are sure somethin’. Somethin’ else, I tell ya.
