HI!!! I'm a new member-and i never join anything-until now-but reading all of your wonderful and informative posts over the last few months-i couldn't resist!!! All of you have given me validation that i am not the only crazy one out there!!! I live in south carolina (very limited shopping as i have to go to NY and LA) so it's comforting to know there are others out there that consider purses and shoes wearable pieces of art. thanks to your expertise, i just crossed another holy grail off my list- i just won a 04 marron off the bay. can't wait for it to get into my hopefully nonoilly palms. anyway, can we revisit the 02 fbf pierre cardin lining issue? there is a caramel fbf with pierre cardin lining up on the bay. does anyone know for sure if both pierre cardin and early baly bags were made in the same factory?http://cgiebay.com/2002-BALENCIAGA-FLAT-BRASS-FIRST-BROWN-BAG-RARE_WOQQitemz160281899376
