Hey there, y’all! Let’s talk about them fancy YSL Envelope bags, you know, the ones all them city gals carry. I ain’t no expert, but I seen ’em around and heard folks chatterin’. Seems like a big deal, so let me tell ya what I reckon.
First off, where do you even get these things? Well, from what I hear, you can go straight to the Saint Laurent official website. That’s like goin’ straight to the source, ya know? They got all sorts of them “Envelope Handbags,” big ones, little ones, all kinds. Sounds fancy, huh?
Then there’s them stores like Neiman Marcus and Bloomingdale’s. They got a whole bunch of ’em too, even them chain wallets and crossbody bags. I ain’t never seen a chain wallet in my life, but I guess it’s a city thing. They say you can even get free shippin’ and returns, whatever that means. Sounds convenient, I guess.
If you’re lookin’ for a deal, you might wanna try Nordstrom or even them outlet stores. They say Nordstrom always got free shippin’ too, and you can even pick it up at the store. The outlet, well, that’s where they sell last year’s stuff, I think. You can get it cheaper, but it ain’t the newest thing. But hey, if it looks good, who cares, right?
Now, these bags, they ain’t cheap. I heard some of ’em cost almost a thousand dollars! Can you believe that? A thousand dollars for a bag! That’s more than my old mule cost back in the day, and that mule could plow a whole field!
- Big Bags: Some of these bags are big, like real big. Good for carryin’ all your stuff, I guess.
- Little Bags: Then there’s the little ones, just big enough for your phone and maybe some lipstick. I don’t get it, but hey, it ain’t my business.
- Chain Bags: These got chains instead of straps. Sounds heavy to me, but I guess they look fancy.
- Crossbody Bags: These go across your body, so you don’t gotta hold ’em. That’s kinda practical, I guess.
What makes these bags so special? Well, they got this YSL thing on ’em. Looks like a fancy letter Y, a S and a L all mushed together. That’s what makes ’em expensive, I reckon. People payin’ for the name, just like they pay more for them fancy store-bought eggs instead of the ones from my chickens.
They call it a monogram, I think. And they got all sorts of different styles. Some got these little bumps on ’em, they call it “grain de poudre embossed leather.” Sounds fancy, but it’s just bumpy leather to me. Some got this chevron quilting, looks like little zigzags. And they come in all sorts of colors, black, red, even shiny like a snake! That’s that “python” they talk about. And calfskin, that’s just cow leather, but they make it sound fancy.
One fella named Anthony Vaccarello, he’s the one who designed this particular Envelope bag back in 2018. It’s a flap bag with a chain strap, got that YSL thing on it, and that zigzag pattern. Seems like he done a good job, seein’ as how everyone wants one.
Some folks say it’s an investment, like buyin’ gold or land. They say these bags can go up in value, especially them limited edition ones. I don’t know nothin’ about that. Seems to me a bag is a bag, but I guess if folks wanna spend their money on it, that’s their business.
There’s even this bag they call the “Le 5 à 7”. It’s special, I guess. Comes in all sorts of fancy materials, and they say it’s a real collectible. Increases in value, they say. Sounds like a whole lotta fuss over a bag to me, but what do I know?
So, there you have it, my take on these YSL Envelope bags. They’re fancy, they’re expensive, and folks seem to love ’em. Me? I’ll stick to my old canvas tote bag, it holds just as much stuff and it don’t cost me an arm and a leg. But hey, if you got the money and you like it, go for it! Just don’t come cryin’ to me when you can’t afford to buy groceries ’cause you spent all your money on a fancy bag.
If you want a fancy bag for less, there are even pre-owned YSL handbags. You can get them used! Probably cheaper that way. Anyways, it is your money. Do what you want!
Some say the material and how they are put together makes them expensive. But others say its because of the YSL brand name. That you pay for the name, plain and simple. Probably true to be honest.
Well, that’s about all I know about these fancy YSL bags. I’m gonna go feed my chickens now.
