Alright, let’s gab about that there YSL Envelope bag, you know, the one all them fancy city gals carry. I ain’t got one myself, but I seen ’em around and they sure do look somethin’.
What’s this YSL Envelope Bag Anyways?
Well, from what I gather, it’s a purse, a right fancy one at that. They call it an “envelope” bag ’cause it looks kinda like, well, an envelope. You know, the kind you lick and stick shut? But this here one’s made of leather, all soft and smooth-like, and it’s got this shiny YSL thingamajig on it.
I hear tell it comes in different kinds, like them chain wallets and them cross-body ones. Cross-body, that just means you sling it over your shoulder, like how we used to carry them feed sacks, only this here bag is way prettier.
- Chain Wallets: Little ones, I reckon, with a chain strap.
- Crossbody Bags: Bigger ones, you wear across your body.
Where Do You Get One of Them Things?
Now, that’s the tricky part. You can’t just walk into any old store and find one. I hear them fancy department stores, like that “Neiman Marcus” place, they got ’em. But I ain’t never been to one of them places, too hoity-toity for my taste.
You could also try to find one used. I seen folks sellin’ all sorts of things online these days, purses too, I reckon. There’s even places in Miami, like “Gables By The Sea,” where they sell used YSL handbags. But you gotta be careful, mind you. Some folks ain’t honest, and they might try to sell you a fake.
How Much Does a YSL Envelope Bag Cost?
Lordy, they ain’t cheap! I heard one of them new ones can cost you upwards of $2950! That’s more money than I see in a year! And that ain’t even countin’ the tax. They do come with a dust bag though, to keep it all nice and clean, so I guess that’s somethin’.
Why Are They So Expensive?
Well, it’s all about that name, that YSL thing. It’s what they call a “designer brand.” You ain’t just payin’ for the bag, you’re payin’ for the name. Like buyin’ that there Chanel or Dior stuff, all fancy and overpriced. They say the materials are top-notch and the bags are well-made but you’re mainly paying for the letters. YSL! That’s what you’re paying for. Like burnin’ money, I tell ya!
They got limited edition ones too, made of fancy stuff like python skin or calfskin. Them ones, they cost even more, ’cause they’re “collectibles,” they say. Means they might be worth somethin’ someday, but I don’t hold much stock in that. A purse is a purse, I say.
How to Make Sure You Ain’t Gettin’ a Fake
Now, if you’re gonna spend all that money on a YSL bag, you wanna make sure it’s the real deal. I hear there’s a few things you can look for.
First off, all them real YSL bags have a serial number. It’s printed on a little piece of leather, sewn right inside the bag. It’ll match the color of the bag, and it’ll be tucked away in the linin’, usually in one of them pockets. Sometimes, they press the number right into the inside of the pocket, instead of on a tag.
Is a YSL Envelope Bag Worth It?
Well, that’s up to you, I reckon. Me? I’d rather spend that money on somethin’ practical, like a new tractor or a good pair of work boots. But if you got the money to burn, and you like fancy things, then I guess it ain’t no skin off my nose.
Just remember, a bag is a bag, no matter how much it costs. It ain’t gonna make your crops grow any faster or your chickens lay any more eggs. But if it makes you feel good, then I guess that’s all that matters. Though in my opinion if you’re goin’ around with a purse that cost more than my house I think your head ain’t screwed on right.
Other Popular YSL Bags
If this whole Envelope bag ain’t your style, there’s other YSL bags to pick from. That “Le 5 à 7” bag is right popular too. Comes in all sorts of colors and materials, from the regular leather to fancy stuff like I told you about earlier. They popular, and they expensive, just like the Envelope bag. And folks collect ’em, like they’re some kind of treasure. Makes no sense to me, but then again, I ain’t never been one for fancy things.
So there you have it, all I know about them YSL Envelope bags. Not much, I admit, but enough to get you started. If you decide to get one, just remember to be careful and don’t let them city slickers take you for a ride.
