Hey there, y’all! Let’s yak about this here…uh… fancy bag, the Remake Yves Saint Laurent YSL JUNE BOX BAG Classic Style. Don’t know much about these highfalutin things, but I’ll tell ya what I see.
First off, is this Saint Laurent the same as YSL? Sounds like a bunch of mumbo jumbo to me. But they say it’s the same thing, just changed the name like folks change their minds ’bout what to have for supper. One day it’s chicken, the next it’s beef. Goes to show ya, even them big city folk can’t make up their minds.
Now, this here June Box Bag, they say it’s got that YSL Cassandre logo. Sounds fancy, but looks like a bunch of letters stuck together to me. They say it’s a big deal, this logo. Makes the bag cost a whole heap more, I reckon. Kinda like puttin’ a pretty bow on a pig – still a pig, but folks think it’s somethin’ special.
People are sayin’ this bag’s made of all sorts of stuff. Smooth leather, calfskin, even snakeskin! Can you believe it? Snakeskin! Makes my skin crawl just thinkin’ about it. But I guess some folks like that kinda thing. They also talk about “lambskin quilted leather”. Sounds soft, like a baby lamb. But I bet it ain’t as tough as good ol’ cowhide.
- They make a big fuss ’bout the “materials” and the “construction.” Sounds like buildin’ a barn to me, but I guess it’s different when it comes to purses. They say it’s top-notch, which means it’s good, real good. But then they go and charge you an arm and a leg for it! Five times the price, just ’cause it’s got that fancy name on it. Highway robbery, if you ask me.
- This bag, it’s a “box bag” they call it. Guess it looks like a box, kinda square-ish. Got a flap on the front, like a mailbox. And a little twisty thing to keep it closed. They call it a “pivoting cassandre closure”, but it’s just a fancy latch in my book.
- And the strap! They say it’s adjustable, which means you can make it longer or shorter, dependin’ on how you wanna carry it. Some are just plain leather, others are quilted. Quilted, that’s like when you sew a bunch of squares together to make a blanket. Fancy, I tell ya.
They say this June Box Bag is minimalist, practical, and elegant. Minimalist means plain, I guess. Practical means you can use it, not just hang it on the wall like a picture. And elegant? Well, that just means it looks fancy, like somethin’ a rich lady would carry. They even say it’s good for the office. Guess you could carry your lunch in it, if you were so inclined.
Now, if you’re gonna buy one of these here bags, they say you gotta make sure it’s “authenticated”. That just means makin’ sure it’s the real deal, not some fake knock-off from who-knows-where. They even give you a dust bag and a box, to keep it all nice and pretty. Like you’d store your Sunday best, I reckon.
They talk about a “bronze-toned hardware” too, whatever that means. I guess that’s the little metal bits, like the latch and the rings where the strap attaches. And inside the bag is a “suede lining”. Feels nice and soft on your fingers, but I tell you it’s hard to keep clean. And it has a “flat pocket”. Good enough to put small stuff in.
Some of these bags, they ain’t new, they are “pre-owned”. That means somebody else had it before you. Like hand-me-downs, but way more expensive. They say they check ’em real good to make sure they’re still in good shape. But I don’t know, seems kinda funny to pay all that money for somethin’ somebody else used. You could buy a whole lot of groceries with that money!
So, there you have it. That’s all I know about this YSL June Box Bag. It’s fancy, it’s expensive, and it’s got a name that sounds like a foreign language. But if you got the money to burn and you wanna feel like a queen, I guess it’s the bag for you. Me? I’ll stick with my good ol’ canvas tote bag. It ain’t pretty, but it gets the job done. And it doesn’t cost an arm and a leg. That’s just common sense. And common sense, that’s something these fancy bag makers don’t seem to have much of. They are probably talkin’ about the 19 cm size, but honestly it could be any size. The one that fits your stuff, I say.
This “Yves Saint Laurent”, or “YSL” as they call it, they make all kinds of bags. Like this “Saint Laurent Le 5 a 7”. Sounds French, I suppose. So many different bags, it makes my head spin. And folks are always chasin’ after the latest thing, the newest fashion. But I tell you, a good bag is a good bag. Whether it’s new or old, fancy or plain, it’s all about what you need it for. And that, my friends, is the truth.
