luvin my first again - some kind help please...

[babybumpkins]

So for a while I was bummed my black first was not a flat brass one..a while back ago when i purchased her i kept staring at all the kate moss and sienna pictures ...trying to find that exact bag....of course i did not know about PF back then ..so I failed. I think what I wanted most was a slightly larger first...and I do like the FB look. But I am starting to appreciate her again and am curious...

I think I figured out My first is 2005 or older from the rivets (which makes sense because I purchased her 2005 or in 2004. Any way to tell how old she is more precisely? Do 2003 have special characteristics?

AND how much bigger are FB firsts compared to the newer ones? Is it mainly the strap & do all straps stretch with time like those infamous famous pictures we see?

Does anyone else feel the same about their first being slightly off from all the flat brass pictures they saw?

So anyways.. cheers to my first which was my first bbag and rockin her again even if she isn't a FB!

Do you have some pics for your first? Is there a silver plate on the inside leather tag?

 

[babybumpkins]

I don't yet ...but yes there is a silver palte ...probably means its not too much older than 2005 ?

^^If you post the numbers/letters on your plate we can tell you exactly what season/year it's from.

F.Y.I. this thread should help you a lot:

As for your question: I was about to start a thread in the reverse. I have mostly large b-bags with the exception of my 2001 Le Dix, out of the blue after years I started using her and I've fallen wildly in love. It's been my go to bag this week and now I get the hype. It's large enough to hold everything I need - but small enough that it looks so trim and nice next to me.

If you love your bag FB or no, that's all that really matters I say!

sorry here it is: 103208.213048

this is the number on the back of the metal tag- leather on the back side....

 

[beauxgoris]

What is the combo under "balenciaga paris"? (on the silver tag)

 

[babybumpkins]

oh , on the silver tag it si N0006A, then under that it is 103208

you guys are sooooo sweet to help me out with such a trivial matter

 

[beauxgoris]

^^Sounds like a "S/S 2005" bag?

 

[babybumpkins]

[the-chus]

Yes it's from 05 S/S and it should be the first batch of the 05 leather!

 

[babybumpkins]

[HandbagAngel]

Many of us feel 2005 has the best leather. Congratulation!

 

[beauxgoris]

^^If you know that it's: "not as prized as city 2005" - then you know that 2005 is a good year.

Why don't you check out the "reference" section as well as the link I posted. Lots of info there.
