Well, let me tell ya somethin’ about this here Yves Saint Laurent YSL MANHATTAN BAG. Folks call it a classic, and I reckon they ain’t wrong. It’s just a simple bag, ya know? Nothin’ too fancy-schmancy, but it looks… well, it looks good, even to an old woman like me.
I seen pictures of this Chrissy Teigen lady carryin’ it. She’s a real fancy one, always dressed up nice. And that bag, the MANHATTAN, it just fit right in with her fancy getup. They got this crocodile version, all shiny and bumpy. Looks like somethin’ a rich lady would carry to a fancy dinner.
Now, I ain’t no expert on these things, but even I can see it’s well-made. Someone said it’s designed by this fella, Anthony Vaccarello. Don’t know him from Adam, but he sure knows how to make a bag that looks good. It’s got that YSL thing on it, so you know it ain’t cheap.
Some folks like a big ol’ bag, ya know, the kind you can stuff everything but the kitchen sink into. This ain’t like that. It’s more of a… a neat bag. One lady said it fits just her “essentials.” That’s what city folks say, “essentials.” Probably means her lipstick and her fancy phone, I guess.
- It’s a shoulder bag, so you can sling it over your arm. Easy peasy.
- It’s “minimalist,” whatever that means. To me, it just means plain and simple, not all cluttered up with zippers and pockets everywhere.
- Some of them are shiny, like that crocodile one, and some are probably just plain leather. They should make more colors, though. A nice red or maybe a pretty blue would be nice, don’t ya think?
People on them internets, they write all sorts of things. One lady, she called it a “Baguette Bag.” Now, I know what a baguette is, it’s that long skinny bread. This bag don’t look nothin’ like bread to me. But I guess that’s just city folks talkin’ fancy again.
Another thing they talk about is comfort. They say it’s comfortable to wear. Well, I reckon a bag should be comfortable, shouldn’t it? You ain’t gonna carry somethin’ around all day if it’s pokin’ ya in the ribs, right? So, that’s a good thing, I guess.
Now, the price, that’s another story. This here ain’t no bargain-bin bag, let me tell ya. It’s a “pricey bag,” they say. Which just means it costs a whole lotta money. Money I ain’t got, that’s for sure. But if I did have a pile of money sittin’ around, would I buy this YSL MANHATTAN BAG? Maybe, just maybe. It’s a nice bag, ya know? Simple, but… classy. Even this old woman can see that.
I seen this one lady, she had a whole bunch of pictures of it on her blog. She calls herself a “fashion blogger.” City folk, they got a name for everything. Anyway, she seemed to really like it. Said it ticked all the boxes for her. Which I guess means she thinks it’s the bee’s knees. And from what I’ve seen and heard, I can’t say I disagree. It really is a classic style, something that ain’t gonna go out of style anytime soon.
So, what’s the bottom line? Well, if you got the money and you want a nice, simple bag that looks good, this Yves Saint Laurent YSL MANHATTAN BAG might be just the ticket. It ain’t flashy, but it’s… well, it’s somethin’ special. Even this old country woman can see that. It’s the kind of bag you could carry to church, or to the store, or even to a fancy party. It’s just… a good bag. And that’s all there is to it.
And I hear they got a small size too. For folks who don’t need to carry so much stuff around. Makes sense, I guess. Some folks just need their “essentials,” like I said before.
So yeah, the YSL MANHATTAN BAG. Fancy name, fancy price, but a real nice bag. That’s what I think anyway.
