You can stand by what's false. It's not my fault you can't get your facts straight.
I PERSONALLY purchased the zipped wallet with the coin pocket in 2001 in high school. Like I said, it was my first purchase and I am not going forget it. I was also gawking over at the Steve bag, which was $875 at the time, but I couldn't afford it!
Do some search and you will see that I'm right. Maybe you should ask deluxeduck he has some glace pieces (from what I saw he is knowledgeable). I follow lv since 1998. In the summer of 2001 came out the Damier Glace, the graffiti came out at the same time. The Damier Glace was a very limited collection, it came out in navy, fluo orange and green. In the fall winter 2003 lv introduced the Monogram Glace for the first time. Maybe you are confused between the Glace and the Mat. The mat came out anyway in 2002.
