Well, let me tell you about this fancy bag I saw, the Yves Saint Laurent, or YSL they call it, LE CARRé SATCHEL. Sounds like a mouthful, right? It’s from their official store, so you know it ain’t no cheap knock-off. This here’s the real deal, and it’s something else. I heard some people talking, they call this bag a remake. I guess that means they had one like it before, but now they made it again, maybe even better.
This YSL LE CARRé SATCHEL, it’s a luxury thing. Not like those bags you get down at the market. This one, they say it’s made from the best stuff. Like that calfskin leather they talk about. Makes sense, I reckon, you wouldn’t want a fancy bag made out of some old, worn-out material. It’s gotta be top-notch, like the cream of the crop. It’s gotta be smooth, like a baby’s bottom! And shiny, too. Gotta catch the eye, you know? That’s what makes these YSL bags so darn expensive.
They got all sorts of colors, too. Not just your regular black or brown. Though they do have black, they call it BLACK LE CARR, and it’s in something they call BOX SAINT LAURENT. I saw one, they called it “brick.” Imagine that, a brick-colored bag! But it’s a nice brick, mind you. A fancy brick.
They got this other one, a pretty blue one. It’s leather, too, that blue LE CARRé. And they even got one they call “magenta.” Now, that’s a color you don’t hear every day. It’s like a purplish-pink, I reckon. Real bright and showy. I guess you need a special person to handle that color, huh? And this YSL LE CARRé bag got that gold-colored hardware.
- This YSL LE CARRé, it’s got a top handle.
- You can carry it like a little briefcase.
- Or you can sling it over your shoulder, I suppose.
- It’s all fancy-like.
- Real high-class, this YSL LE CARRé SATCHEL.
Now, this YSL, they say it’s a French brand. Started way back in 1961, by some fella named Yves Saint Laurent and his buddy, Pierre. Long time ago, that was. And you know why these YSL things are so expensive? ‘Cause they use the best stuff to make ’em. Real leather, and silk, and metal, all that good stuff. It’s like making a pie – you gotta use the good ingredients if you want a good pie. The brand YSL, it’s glamorous, you know? Like the movie stars.
And they had this other fella, Hedi Slimane, he came in around 2012, and he changed things up a bit. Changed the name, even. Used to be Yves Saint Laurent, now it’s Saint Laurent Paris. Fancy, huh? He made it all edgy, they say. Whatever that means. But people still know it is YSL, I guess. It’s kinda like putting a new dress on an old doll. It’s still the same doll underneath.
They say this LE CARRé comes in different styles. I don’t understand them all, to be honest. They mention python, and calfskin. I guess it’s all about what kind of leather they use, and how they put it together. I guess that’s what makes it special. They got big online shops, selling these YSL LE CARRé bags. They say you can get a good deal online, or you can browse through their collection. They got so many to choose from! But I bet they’re all expensive.
They make these bags in Italy, they say. That’s a long way from here. But I guess that’s where they make the good stuff. And they got this antique gold-tone hardware. That’s the metal parts, I reckon. Makes it look all old-fashioned and fancy at the same time. It’s like they took something old and made it new again. That’s probably what they mean by “remake.”
Well, that’s all I know about this YSL LE CARRé SATCHEL bag from the official store. It’s a fancy thing, that’s for sure. Expensive, too. But I guess if you want the best, you gotta pay for it. And if you want to carry a little piece of that YSL glamour, maybe this is the bag for you. It’s like a little dream, I suppose. A fancy, leather, brick-colored, or maybe magenta, dream. Or black, if you like that better. That YSL, they got something for everyone, I guess. Even if that someone is just looking from afar, like me.
