Alright, alright, let’s talk about this… uh… Remake Yves Saint Laurent YSL COLLEGE BAG Classic Style. Yeah, that fancy name, sounds like somethin’ them city folks would say. But look, a bag’s a bag, right? We gotta figure out if this here purse is worth the fuss, or just another pretty thing that’ll sit in the closet.
Now, I ain’t no expert on these high-falutin’ fashion things, but I know a good bag when I see one. They say this College bag, it’s a “classic.” Means it’s supposed to be one of them bags that don’t go out of style, like a good ol’ cast iron skillet. You can use it year after year, and it still looks good. That’s what they say, anyways.
First off, they talk about this “envelope shape.” Sounds fancy, but it just means it looks like one of them things you stick a letter in. You know, the kind you lick and seal. Not that we do much letter writin’ these days, what with them phones and all. But I guess it’s a shape that folks like. Makes it look… neat, I reckon. And “timeless,” they call it. Means it won’t look silly next year, or the year after that.
Then there’s the “top-handle.” That’s just the handle on top, see? Easy enough. But this here bag, it also got a strap, so you can sling it over your shoulder if you want. That’s handy, ‘specially if you gotta carry groceries or chase after them grandkids.
Some folks, they go on and on about whether a bag is good for “day to night.” Means, can you carry it to the store and then to a fancy dinner? This College bag, they say you can. I don’t know about that. Seems to me, if you’re goin’ to the store, you need a big ol’ bag to hold all your stuff. And if you’re goin’ to a fancy dinner, you want somethin’ small and pretty. But hey, what do I know? I ain’t been to a fancy dinner in… well, let’s just say it’s been a while.
- It’s “classic,” they say, so it won’t go out of style.
- It’s got a “top-handle” and a strap, so you can carry it different ways.
- They say it’s good for “day to night,” but I ain’t so sure about that.
Now, they compare this College bag to another one, called the “Sunset” bag. Sounds pretty, don’t it? Like one of them colors you see when the sun goes down. They say the Sunset bag is a bit dressier. Means it’s fancier, I guess. More for special occasions. But the College bag, that’s supposed to be more… everyday. You know, for goin’ to the store, or to church, or wherever you gotta go.
And then there’s this “Loulou” bag. They say it comes in all sorts of sizes, even a little “toy” size. Imagine that! A toy purse. What would you even put in it? A nickel and a button? But the College bag, it ain’t so small. It’s got room for your stuff, they say. Your keys, your phone, your… whatchamacallit… your wallet. All the important things.
One thing they keep talkin’ about is the “YSL” letters. That’s the fella who made the bag, I reckon. Yves Saint Laurent. Sounds like a mouthful, don’t it? But them letters, they’re all over the bag, so everyone knows you got a fancy purse. Not that I care much about that. I just want a bag that holds my stuff and don’t fall apart.
They also say these bags are made in Italy. That’s over in Europe somewhere. Far away from here, that’s for sure. Apparently, that means it’s good quality. They say if it ain’t made in Italy, it’s a fake. A knock-off, they call it. Like them watches you see at the flea market. Look good, but don’t last long.
So, what’s the bottom line on this here College bag? Well, it seems like a decent purse. It’s supposed to be classic, so it won’t go out of style. It’s got enough room for your stuff. And it’s made in Italy, so it’s supposed to be good quality. But it’s also expensive, I bet. Real expensive. You could probably buy a whole lot of groceries for the price of one of them bags. But hey, if you got the money and you want a fancy purse, I guess it ain’t a bad choice. Just don’t go expectin’ it to do your chores for you. It’s a bag, not a miracle worker.
And remember, a good bag is a useful bag, no matter how much it costs or where it was made. It needs to hold your things, go with you when you need it, and not break down. That’s the real test of a good bag, whether it’s from a fancy store or the five-and-dime. You hear me?
Now if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go make some supper. Ain’t nobody gonna do that for me, not even a fancy Italian bag.
