You see, this here YSL JUNE BOX BAG, it’s a thing, a real fancy thing. Remake, they call it. I heard some folks talking ’bout it, how it’s like the old ones, but new. They say it’s a quote, whatever that means. Sounds important, though.
Now, this bag, it ain’t just any old bag. It’s got this shiny thing on it, they call it a “Cassandre.” Sounds like a fancy lady’s name. And it’s all covered in what they say is “diamond.” Don’t look like no diamonds I ever seen, but what do I know? It’s probably some city folk diamond. They say it’s real leather, this bag. Must be some good leather, ’cause they sure do charge a lot for it. Price is high, just like that hot air balloon I saw one time!
This YSL, it’s a big name. Like, bigger than Farmer McGregor’s prize-winning pumpkin. They make all sorts of these Saint Laurent bags, not just this June Box one. I seen pictures, some are big, some are small, all different colors. They got these little ones, too, they call ’em “crossbody.” You wear ’em across your chest, like you’re carrying a baby goat or somethin’. They say these bags are good for keeping your things safe. Not safe from a hungry dog, but safe from other things, I guess.
- This June Box, it’s special.
- They say it’s a “box” but it don’t look like any box I ever packed eggs in.
- More like a fancy lady’s jewelry box, all shiny and new.
They got different kinds, these Saint Laurent YSL bags. Some are made from snakes, they say! Python, they call it. Sounds scary to me. I wouldn’t want a snake bag, no sir. And some are made from cows, calfskin. That makes more sense to me. Cowhide is tough, just like old Bessie out in the field. Strong, you know?
They say these bags, they’re like an investment. Like planting seeds, but instead of corn, you get… a bag? Don’t make much sense to me, but these city folk, they got different ideas about money. They say the value goes up. Like the price of eggs before Easter! Maybe I should get me one of these bags instead of them chickens.
This fella, this Saint Laurent, he did more than just make bags, though. He made clothes, too. Fancy clothes. They say he put women in pants! Can you imagine? Back in my day, women wore dresses. Long dresses, down to their ankles. But this fella, he put ’em in pants suits. “Le Smoking,” they call it. Sounds French. He must’ve been a real character, this Saint Laurent.
These bags, they say they last a long time. Like a good cast iron skillet. You take care of it, and it’ll take care of you. They say they’re “high quality.” That means they’re made good, not like some of that cheap stuff you get at the dollar store. These June Box Bag, they’re built to last. Like a brick outhouse, they are.
Now they say all these bags have a number. Each one. Like tagging a cow. It’s so they know which one is which. Can’t have folks mixin’ up their fancy bags, I guess. They say before 1997, some bags, Dior bags they call them, did not have numbers. But now all Saint Laurent Bags, they all have numbers, even the small ones. It is important for them.
Some folks, they buy these bags used. “Preloved,” they call it. Sounds kinda nice, like a well-worn quilt. Someone loved it before, and now someone else can love it, too. And they’re cheaper that way, which is good. Not everyone’s got a money tree in their backyard, you know.
- You can get these bags all over.
- They got fancy stores, and they got this “internet” thing.
- You can buy ’em from your house, without even putting on your shoes!
I don’t know much about this fancy stuff, but I know what I like. And this June Box Bag, it’s somethin’ else. It’s shiny, it’s new, and it’s got that fancy name. Maybe one day, I’ll get me one. Maybe when my ship comes in, as they say. Or maybe when pigs fly. This Brand:SAINT LAURENT is really hot. But this old lady, she’s gotta go feed them chickens now. They don’t care ’bout no fancy bags, just their corn. And that’s alright by me.
This new bag, it has a Y on it. They say it is special, made by hand. By real people! That Y is special, not like anything I seen before. And it is on all the new bags they are making, not just this Saint Laurent Paris one. This one is special, though. It is a remake, a new one just like an old one. That is what I heard, anyway.
