Well, look at this, a fancy bag, huh? They call it Yves Saint Laurent YSL MANHATTAN BAG. Sounds like somethin’ them city folks would carry. I ain’t never had a purse this fancy, mine are all cloth and big enough to carry a whole chicken. But this one, this “Manhattan” thing, it’s somethin’ else. Shiny and smooth, looks like it could hold a whole lotta secrets.
First thing I see is, this bag, it ain’t cheap. No sirree. You gotta shell out some serious dough to get your hands on one of these. They sell ’em online, on somethin’ called a “website,” that Saint Laurent Official Website place. Never seen one of them webs in person, but my grandson says it’s like a big store you can visit without leavin’ your chair. Now ain’t that somethin’?
And get this, they got different kinds of Manhattans. Like, they got this Manhattan Handbags Collection, a whole bunch of ‘em. Sounds like a candy store, but for purses. Some are big, some are small. They say, YSL Manhattan Shoulder Bag is this big: 11.4 inches by 7.8 inches by 2.9 inches. Then there’s this YSL Manhattan Small Shopping Bag: 12.5 inches by 9.8 inches by 4.7 inches. And if that ain’t enough, you got the YSL Manhattan Medium Shopping Bag: 15.7 inches by 11.6 inches by 6.1 inches. Lands sakes, so many numbers! Makes my head spin. Sounds like they got a bag for everythin’, from carryin’ your lipstick to totin’ around a whole roast.
Then there’s this talk about buyin’ ’em used. Like, somebody else already carried it around. They call it second-hand or somethin’. There’s this place, Vestiaire Collective, where you can buy used fancy bags. My neighbor, she buys used clothes all the time. Says it saves her a bundle. Maybe that’s the way to go, get a fancy bag without breakin’ the bank. They even say you can get ‘em up to 70% off. That’s a good deal, even for an old woman like me who doesn’t know much about these things.
- Shoulder Bag: Good for carryin’ on your shoulder, I guess.
- Small Shopping Bag: For when you’re just gettin’ a few things.
- Medium Shopping Bag: Big enough for a good haul.
People say these bags are made of all sorts of fancy stuff. Python, whatever that is, sounds like a snake. And calfskin, that’s probably from a baby cow. They say these special ones are limited-edition and get more valuable over time. Like old coins, I reckon. My grandpappy used to collect them, said they’d be worth somethin’ someday. Maybe these bags are the same.
Now, someone told me over the fence that if you go to Europe, to a place called Paris, these bags are cheaper. Imagine that! Cheaper fancy bags! They say it’s because of some VAT refund thing. Sounds complicated, but if it saves you some money, I guess it’s worth it. They say it can be at least 20% cheaper. That’s a lot of money. With that saved money, I could buy a whole new chicken coop!
This fella Yves Saint Laurent, he sure knows how to make a purse. They say his bags are all about fashion and uniqueness, mixin’ the old with the new. Sounds like a good recipe, like my grandma’s apple pie, always a little different, but always good. And they talk about this Manhattan Baguette Bag. Now, a baguette I know, it’s that long bread the French folks eat. So I guess this bag is long and skinny like that bread. They say it’s clean and minimalist, comfortable to wear. Don’t know what minimalist means, but comfortable sounds good to me. My old shoes are comfortable, and that’s what matters when you’re on your feet all day. They also mention other bags like the Saint laurent mini uptown bag, Saint Laurent YSL Nolita bag and the Saint Laurent YSL Vicky Bag. Too many names for me to remember, to be honest. But they are probably all just as fancy and just as expensive.
So, there you have it. My two cents on this Yves Saint Laurent YSL MANHATTAN BAG. Fancy, expensive, and comes in all shapes and sizes. Maybe one day I’ll win the lottery and get myself one. But until then, I’ll stick to my trusty chicken-carryin’ cloth bag. It might not be fancy, but it gets the job done, and that’s all that matters to me. But, hey, if you’ve got the money and want a fancy bag, go for it. Just make sure you can fit a chicken in it. You never know when you might need to carry a chicken, right?
