This here, it’s about that fancy YSL JUNE BOX BAG, you know, the one all them city folks are crazy about. They call it a “remake” or a “quote” or somethin’. I seen it on the internet. Costs more than a cow, I tell ya!
Now, I ain’t one for fancy things. My old purse, it’s done me good for years. But this YSL JUNE BOX BAG, it got me thinkin’. What’s so special ’bout it? They say it’s made of lambskin. Lambskin! We used to have sheep, you know. Good for wool, good for eatin’. Never thought about makin’ a purse outta one.
And quilted, they say. Like my old patchwork blanket that grandma made. Except this one, it ain’t got no pretty colors. Just plain. They call it “brick” color. Looks like the color of dirt to me. But what do I know about fashion?
They say it’s got a special number inside. A serial number. Like on a tractor! This one, it’s all in one row. If it’s got two rows, it ain’t the real deal. Some old ones got 12 numbers. Newer got 3 letters and 10 digits, all split by dots. Sounds complicated. If you ask me, they’re just lookin’ for a reason to charge more.
- Old YSL JUNE BOX BAG got 12-digit number.
- New YSL JUNE BOX BAG got 3 letters and 10-digit number.
- Number all in one row means it’s real.
This YSL, it’s the same as Saint Laurent. Same folks, different name, I guess. Like when Mildred’s boy got married and changed his last name. Still the same boy, just a fancier name. People still call it YSL. Easier to say, I reckon.
They say it’s top-notch. Whatever that means. Good leather, good stitchin’, I suppose. But they say you’re payin’ for the name. Like buyin’ a pedigree dog instead of a good ol’ mutt. Costs five times more! Same as them other fancy names – Chanel, D&G, Dior. Never heard of ’em ’til I got on this internet thing.
They say it is classic style with some kind of attitude, call it rebellious. Sounds like my grandson, always getting into trouble. They say it’s for youth and freedom. Well, I am not sure if any bag can give freedom, but maybe, when you are young you want to be different, so that’s why they buy these YSL JUNE BOX BAG.
They got all kinds of these bags. Clutch bags, they call ’em. Small things, hardly hold anything. And tote bags, big enough to carry a chicken in, I suppose. Printed canvas, they say. Canvas is what we used to make tents outta. Now they make purses outta it.
You can even find old ones, they call ’em vintage. Used to be, we just called ’em used. But I guess “vintage” sounds fancier. They sell ’em on the internet, too. Free returns, they say. So if you don’t like your old used purse, you can send it back. Imagine that!
This YSL JUNE BOX BAG, it’s got a flap, and some kinda fancy name sewed on it. Cassandre. Sounds French. And more of that quiltin’, they call it diamond-quilted. Looks like the same stitchin’ to me, but what do I know?
They say Saint Laurent, that’s the YSL folks, they ain’t stoppin’ makin’ these bags. This JUNE BOX BAG, they say it’s bulbous. Sounds like somethin’ you’d find in the garden. But they say it’s brilliant. Shiny, I guess. Or maybe just smart. Hard to tell with these city folks.
You can buy these things online, they say. On the official website. Whatever that means. Just seems like a lot of fuss for a purse. But I guess if you got the money, and you like that kinda thing, then why not? Me, I’ll stick with my old purse. It may not be a YSL JUNE BOX BAG, but it holds my money just fine.
To me it is just a bag, I think, maybe it is good quality, but five times more? That is a lot of money for a bag! But then again, what do I know, I am just someone who is not into this kind of thing at all. A bag is a bag.
Now, if you excuse me, I got chores to do. And I sure aint’ doin’ them with no fancy YSL JUNE BOX BAG on my arm!
