04 true red first... another HG I just received!
Wauw!
Gorgeous gorgeous oldie "B"Babi
It's awesome!
Love love the leather, the colour and PH
Hello Sweetie
Great Choice! The leather and color on these gorgy bags are so stunning!
Lucky you ~ Congrats!!!!!!
This bag is really gorgeous...I'm still looking for a PH 03 black first, but I could "even" be content with a black classic beauty like yours, Aki
That leather looks like silk!
Back to you dear "B"
I am in
with your TR PH 
Perhaps when we get bored we could swap bags
Actually the leather quite distressed on mine which I prefer
Oh, you girls have lovely early bags. Congratulations to each of you!
I finally got around to shooting my flat brass family. Next I'll hit the pewter hardware gang. It's been a long time in collecting these, but I love each and every one of these original Balenciaga Le Dix, "Lariat" bags. My latest additions were well loved and showed it, but after a good deal of elbow grease cleaning them up I'm able to enjoy them throughly.

^ Thanks, mmmsc! 
Each bag has such different leather too, it's really cool how individual they are. The '01 Black Pebbled leather is really thick and stiff, it's a top grain with lots of variation. The '02 Black Hobo is very smooth and supple leather whereas the same season Black First is wrinkle distressed and even softer, and then the Chocolate First is so soft it's like butter and melts in your hands. The '02 Olive is the last flat brass season and it's thin but strong leather, very distressed with so much vintage character, I really love it!
