I finally got around to taking pictures of my FBF collection, and here are the promised comparison pics, as my way of saying thank you to our little community here.

FW01 Chocolate Pebbled Le Dix FBF, otherwise known as Season 1 FBF.



This FBF has a leather tag with gold lettering

Le Dix
Balenciaga
Paris




Here's the underside of the leather tag:



Front zipper pull with o-ring (tassels are not the original pebbled ones, I've used 07 mogano tassels because I have been unable to find

replacement ones):





Top zipper pull with o-ring (left the shortened original pebbled tassel on top to show difference between the 2 colors):

Note: At the time of posting, I have my own doubts about the Pierre Cardin wording on the inside pocket lining. I will update this thread when I have a bit more info on this particular FBF's history.
