You know, I saw them young girls carrying these fancy bags, all shiny and new. They call it the YSL COLLEGE BAG. What a name! Reminds me of them fancy colleges where they teach you book smarts, not life smarts.
So, I looked it up. This YSL, it’s some fancy name, some French fella. Yves Saint Laurent, they call him. Started way back, in 1961, I reckon. Old as the hills! He and his friend, Pierre somethin’. They made these bags, clothes, all sorts of things that cost more than a cow. And, you see, this brand is from Paris. Yes, from Paris.
These new bags, Lord have mercy, they’re expensive! Like, you could buy a whole herd of goats for the price of one. Back in my day, we had bags for carrying groceries, or your knitting. Simple, sturdy things. These YSL bags, they made in Italy. Not in the same place, where this fella started, but in another far, far away land. Cost a lot, I guess.
- YSL COLLEGE BAG: Shiny, new, and oh-so-fancy.
- Expensive: More than a cow, more than a goat even.
- Made in Italy: A long way from home, that’s for sure.
But I heard this YSL COLLEGE BAG is popular, like hotcakes at the county fair. These young folks, they love it. It is a classic style, they say. They tell me about another bag from this same fella, YSL LouLou bag. Sounds like a name you’d give a poodle. And this LouLou bag, they say, is famous. One of their most famous.
Why are these bags so expensive? Well, they say the way they’re made, the stuff they’re made of, it’s all top-notch. Like the prize-winning quilt at the fair. But, then, because of that name, YSL, they hike up the price. Like, five times more! Can you believe it? Like them other fancy names, Chanel, Dior, and such. Just payin’ for the name, I tell ya. Like buyin’ a pig in a poke.
And there’s this store, they call it the Saint Laurent, that’s YSL, online store. All these pictures of bags, clothes, and shoes. It is a lot to take in, I tell you. It looks like a place where rich people shopping. I don’t think they sell corn or eggs there. I don’t think normal people can go there shopping.
Now, I heard there are cheaper ones. They call ’em dupes. Like when you buy a cake mix instead of making it from scratch. Same idea, I suppose. But, you get what you pay for. I would not trust it. They say it was made in another place. They say it was fake. Be careful with these people.
- Dupes: Cheaper, but is it worth it?
- Classic Style: That’s what they say, anyway.
- YSL: Just a fancy name, if you ask me.
If you got the money, and you want somethin’ real fancy, somethin’ that says you got more money than sense, well, then maybe this YSL COLLEGE BAG is for you. But me? I’ll stick to my old bag. It’s got character, that one. And it didn’t cost me an arm and a leg.
These young’uns today, they like their fancy things. This YSL COLLEGE BAG, it’s a status symbol, they say. Like wearing a crown, I reckon. Shows everyone you’re somebody. But I remember a time when folks valued hard work, not fancy bags.
I don’t know. This old lady, she prefers a good, sturdy bag that can hold a week’s worth of groceries. And maybe a little extra for a sweet treat. This YSL COLLEGE BAG, it sure is pretty, but can it hold a chicken? I doubt it.
But, you know, to each their own. If these young folks want to spend their money on a YSL COLLEGE BAG, well, that’s their business. Just don’t come crying to me when you can’t afford a good pair of shoes. Because, that YSL COLLEGE BAG is too expensive.
