Has anyone seen this patent red/linen First version before?

Looking for a First, and found this? But it does not seem to be anywhere in the reference section, just wondering if anyone has seen it before?

Yup, I had the cream version. It was I believe a limited edition in Japan in 04 or 05 (one of the experts should know a bit more). The linen was very soft and nubby and the patent was a nice contrast.

Ah...cause I saw the rasta ltd. edition for Japan and that looked amazing!

Here is a link to another thread from a pf'er who had one. http://forum.purseblog.com/balenciaga/patent-leather-raw-linen-classique-28393.html

I was looking to see if I had pics still of mine but they are long gone. It was a very cute bag though and a bit different than my other Bals which I really liked, it was great for summer.
