The oldies club! 2001-2004

[Fashion1]

Nope! You didn't miss them. Here's a not very great picture of my 04 true red city. I'll try to post a better one later.

There were weekenders made in 03 red and the purse style was made in 04 true red, both very hard to find. Not sure if either style was made in the other color red. Red ph cities are htf too, but at least 3 have popped up in the past 7ish months (my 04 red from RDC, French's 03 from AFF, and maxx's 04 red) so there seem to be more of these floating around.
I'm hoping I can find an 03 red weekender some day - French's gorgeous pics of hers made me want one even more. I love the purse style too and would love to track down another in a gorgeous oldie color, like dark turquoise, pumpkin or 04 grey. In the meantime, that pumpkin city on RDC is tempting me like crazy.

Thanks for the info! Your red city is absolutely amazing. Hopefully one will pop up soon!

Thanks! I'll keep an eye out for you

Beautiful! Such a great red.

There is a yellow pewter hw purse on bonz at the moment.

Thank you! I love the yellow with pewter. Unfortunately, we will be replacing the roof of our house soon, so I'm trying to be good for a while. But if it's still there in a few months...

^^^ What? Jealous Ceejay. Looks AMAZING too.

Thanks *Drati* .. I am SOOOOO lucky to be able to add this to my collection! The Le Dix Caribou FBFs are my all-time oldies faves!!

As far as wear, they are super durable .. but I've never felt that they are more "formal"; they still definitely have that mojo vibe! As Corey notes above, they are just a tad bigger than the "regular" Firsts, which is just perfect for when you don't need a bigger bag. I oftentimes use these bags when I go to the Gem Shows because I've found with a bigger bag, you just get thrashed around (by other RUDE people!).

Oh no! That's too bad. I don't know why sellers don't disclose that. I recently received a Bubblegum Part Time that smelled of smoke. I applied conditioner and then put it in a sealed container with baking soda for a day and now it's much much better. It was pretty light to begin with though - I would think a heavy smoke smell would be hard to get out, and a process. Hopefully another oldie will pop up for you soon!

Thanks! I thought about taking a risk and seeing if it would air out since the price was so good, but it was just so strong, especially the inside of the bag. Oh well.

Has your FB hobo arrived yet?

Should be here tomorrow!!! I'll take lots of pics.

That too bad. It looked like a nice bag. Wish I would have seen this before you sent it back . I started a thread in the maintenance section on getting smoke out of a bag that I bought. But maybe the smoke in that bag was too much.

Yes...please post. And I need to follow that request myself.
