Well, let me tell you somethin’ ’bout this here YSL MANHATTAN BAG. Folks call it a “remake,” but to me, it just looks like a good, sturdy bag. Don’t know much about this Yves Saint Laurent fella, sounds fancy, but this bag, it’s somethin’ else.
First off, what is this “YSL” thing anyway? Sounds like a bunch of letters put together. But I hear tell it’s a big name, like them folks in the city talk about. This MANHATTAN BAG, though, it ain’t just for city folks. It looks like it could hold a good bunch of taters, or maybe some jars of preserves.
Now, this “original order” business. Don’t rightly know what that means, but this bag, it seems like somethin’ that’ll last. Good leather, I reckon. Thick and strong. Not like that flimsy stuff they sell at the five and dime. You can tell just by lookin’ at it, it’s made to be used. Not just for show.
- It’s got a good strap, see? Wide and sturdy. Won’t cut into your shoulder, even if you’re carryin’ a whole mess of things.
- And the buckles! Solid metal, not that cheap plastic stuff. They ain’t gonna break on ya, that’s for sure.
- And pockets! Everywhere! A woman needs her pockets, let me tell ya. Places to put your keys, your money, maybe a little snack for later.
I saw some pictures online – yes, even us old gals can use the internet now – and them bags come in all sorts of colors. Black, brown, even red! Fancy, I tell ya. But me, I like a good, plain color. Somethin’ that don’t show the dirt too much. You know, practical.
Where can you get one of these bags? Well, I hear tell they sell ‘em in fancy stores in the city. Places with shiny floors and people dressed all prim and proper. And online too, they say. You just type in “YSL Manhattan” and there they are, pictures and all. But I bet you they cost a pretty penny. Not somethin’ us country folk can just go and buy on a whim. But if you got the money, and you want a good, strong bag, I reckon it’d be worth it.
They call it a “shoulder bag,” but I reckon you could carry it any way you want. Over your shoulder, in your hand, even on your head if you’re feelin’ fancy. It’s got that flap thing on top, keeps everything safe and sound. No need to worry about your stuff fallin’ out.
Now, I ain’t no fashion expert, mind you. I wear what’s comfortable and what works. But even I can see this bag is somethin’ special. It ain’t just about lookin’ good, it’s about havin’ somethin’ that’ll last. Somethin’ you can depend on. Like a good pair of work boots, or a trusty old cast iron skillet.
Some folks might say it’s too expensive, too fancy for everyday use. But I say, why not have somethin’ nice? Why not treat yourself? If you work hard, you deserve somethin’ good. And this bag, it looks like it could last you a lifetime. Pass it down to your grand-daughter, even. She’d appreciate a good, strong bag like this, that’s for sure.
So, there you have it. My thoughts on this YSL MANHATTAN BAG. It’s a remake, they say. But to me, it’s just a good bag. A strong bag. A bag that’ll get the job done. And sometimes, that’s all you need. And it’s got plenty of space, more than them little purses all the young girls carry. You could fit a whole chicken in this bag, I betcha! Or maybe some fresh-picked apples. Or even a small kitten, if you were so inclined. Don’t know why you’d want to carry a kitten in your bag, but you could. That’s the point. This bag, it’s practical.
And let’s not forget the stitching. I saw some close-up pictures, and the stitching is real neat and tidy. Not like that crooked stuff you see on some things. That means it’s made well, made to last. You don’t see that kind of quality much these days. Everyone’s tryin’ to save a penny, cuttin’ corners. But this bag, it looks like they took their time, did it right. And that’s somethin’ to be admired.
So yeah, the YSL MANHATTAN BAG. Fancy name, fancy price, maybe. But it’s a good bag. A real good bag. And if you’re lookin’ for somethin’ that’ll last, somethin’ that’s both pretty and practical, then this might just be the bag for you. Just don’t go fillin’ it with rocks, now. Even a good bag has its limits.
Now, they got other bags too, I saw them online. But this Manhattan one, it sticks out. It’s got a certain somethin’. Maybe it’s the shape, maybe it’s the buckles, maybe it’s just that it looks like it could hold a whole lot of stuff. Whatever it is, it’s got my attention. And if I had the money, I might just get one myself. Even an old lady like me can appreciate a good bag. After all, we’ve been carryin’ stuff around our whole lives, ain’t we?
