Well, well, well, lookie here! Today, I wanna talk about that fancy YSL College bag. You know, that one all them city folks is carrying around? I seen it in them shiny magazines. They call it the Yves Saint Laurent, but around here, we just say YSL. Sounds like a name of a cow, I reckon! My granddaughter, she’s always going on about these designer bags. I tell her, “Honey, you could buy a whole herd of goats for that price!” But she just rolls her eyes at me.
This here College bag, it’s s’posed to be real special. Made with that fancy leather. They call it lambskin, soft like a baby’s bottom. I reckon they use those skinny little French lambs, not like the plump ones we raise. And it’s got a whole bunch of little diamond looking patterns on it. They call it “quilted”, like one of them old quilts your grandma used to make. They ain’t nothin’ like my grandma’s patchwork, though!
Now, I seen these bags in all different sizes. Some so small, you could barely fit a stick of gum in ’em. Others big enough to carry your whole lunch pail. This College bag, they say it comes in a “medium” size. Probably good for totin’ around your essentials, like your wallet, your phone, and maybe a little snack for later. It has a handle you can hold in your hand, and a chain you can put on your shoulder, like you’re a real fancy lady.
- Small size for a few things.
- Big size can hold a lunch.
- Medium YSL College bag is just right.
They got these bags in all sorts of colors, too. But the one I seen most is black. Black goes with everything, don’t it? You can wear it with your Sunday best or your everyday overalls. This one’s got a black handle and a shiny black chain, too. They call it “hardware.” Like the stuff you get at the hardware store, but I don’t think it is. These city people sure have some funny names for things. It makes it hard to keep up with sometimes.
Now, this bag ain’t cheap. I heard them talkin’ about it costin’ more than my old pickup truck! They say it’s ’cause it’s a “designer” bag. Some fella named Yves made it. I reckon he’s some big shot in the fashion world. I don’t know nothin’ about fashion. I just wear what’s comfortable and keeps me warm in the winter. But these young folks, they go crazy for these designer labels. They say you’re paying for the name, like that name is worth more than gold. It is very expensive.
And the inside of the bag is important too, they say. They talk about something called a “date code”. Like you’re going out on a date with the bag? No, it is just a number inside. I guess it tells you when the bag was made. Seems silly to me. A bag’s a bag, no matter when it was made. It’s not like milk, it doesn’t go bad. But, if you want to know, look inside your bag near the top, or near the zipper. There should be a little tag, or it’ll be printed right on the inside.
- YSL bags are very costly.
- You are paying for the YSL name.
- Designer bags are popular.
Some folks say this College bag is a good “investment.” Like you’re gonna make money off it someday. I don’t know about that. I’d rather invest in somethin’ practical, like a good milk cow or a new tractor. But I guess if you got money to burn, a fancy bag is as good as anything. I still think it is too much money. You can get a good bag at the general store for a lot less. But these young people, they don’t want that.
They say this YSL College bag is “versatile.” That means you can use it for all sorts of things. You can take it to a fancy party or just to the grocery store. I reckon that’s true for any bag, though. Ain’t that what bags are for? Carryin’ stuff around? I don’t need a fancy bag to do that. My old tote bag does just fine. But I have seen the girls wearing them with jeans, dresses, or anything, really.
If you want one of these YSL College bags, you gotta go to one of them fancy stores. Or maybe you can find one online. I don’t trust them online things, though. Too many scams out there. I like to see what I’m buyin’ before I hand over my hard-earned money. Better to go to the store and see it. Make sure it is real. They make fake ones, you know! They look like the real thing, but they ain’t.
So, there you have it. That’s what I know about that YSL College bag. It’s a fancy bag for fancy folks. If you got the money and you like that sort of thing, then go for it. Me? I’ll stick with my old faithful tote bag. It may not be stylish, but it gets the job done. And it didn’t cost me an arm and a leg! It is a good bag to quote, I reckon.
