Alright, alright, let’s gab about this…uh…this YSL Manhattan bag, the fancy one, you know? Folks call it a “classic style,” whatever that means. Sounds like somethin’ my grandma woulda’ liked, if she had any money, that is.
So, this Yves Saint Laurent fella, he was a big deal in fashion, I hear. They say he made clothes for rich folks, real fancy stuff. Dresses you could see right through! Can you believe it? My old man woulda’ had a fit! This fella, Saint Laurent, he’s gone now, bless his heart. Woulda’ been real old if he was still kickin’ around. They had a big party for him, or woulda’ had one, back in August, I think.
- They say his stuff was “elegant” and “sophisticated.” Big words, huh?
- Means it looked nice, I guess.
- Not like my old aprons, that’s for sure.
Now, they still sell this Saint Laurent stuff. Bags, clothes, shoes… the whole shebang. You can find it online, they say. Fancy stores too, probably. Not at the Piggly Wiggly, though, I can tell ya’ that much. This fella, he changed how folks dressed, see? Made things different. Like when they started puttin’ sugar in everything. Changed the whole game, it did.
Now, about this Manhattan bag… it’s one of them “best” bags, they say. People wanna buy it, even in 2025, and Lord knows when after that. They say it holds its value, which means you can sell it for lots of money later, I reckon. Like a good piece of land, but you can carry it around. There’s other bags too, they call ’em Loulou and Le Maillon…sound like French names, all fancy-pantsy.
This bag, it’s a “classic,” they say. Means it’s been around a while and folks still like it. Not like them bell bottoms, remember those? Those came and went. But this bag, it sticks around. They make new ones, too, all the time. Different colors, different doo-dads on ’em, but it’s still that same ol’ Manhattan bag, I guess.
They wrote a book about this Saint Laurent fella, you know. Showed off all the stuff he made. Dresses, pants, the whole kit and caboodle. Musta been a real talented fella, makin’ all them clothes. Not like me, I can barely sew a button on straight. Always pricking my fingers, dang it.
So, you go on that Saint Laurent website, they got all sorts of stuff there. Pictures, stories, I don’t know what all. It’s all about this brand, see? Saint Laurent, YSL, they call it. Same thing, I guess. Like callin’ a hog a pig, makes no nevermind.
Now, why would someone spend all that money on a bag, you ask? Well, I ain’t got the foggiest. But folks do it, I hear. Must make ’em feel special, like they got somethin’ nobody else has. Like findin’ a four-leaf clover, only you can wear it on your arm.
So, this Manhattan bag… it’s fancy, it’s expensive, and it’s a “classic.” That’s about all I can tell ya. If you got the money, go for it, I say. If not, well, there’s plenty of other bags out there. Just as good for carryin’ your stuff, if you ask me. Heck, a good ol’ feed sack works just fine for bringin’ in the groceries, ain’t that right?
Anyways, that’s the lowdown on this YSL Manhattan bag, as best as I can figure it. Don’t go spendin’ your life savings on it now, ya hear? There’s more important things in life than fancy bags, that’s for sure. Like a good cup of coffee and a warm biscuit on a cold mornin’. Now that’s somethin’ worth savin’ up for.
