The oldies club! 2001-2004

[drati]

Flat brass hobo was first released in s/s 2002 so no gold tag le dix flat brass hobos. I have never seen lining like this on an authentic Bal either ...

And this lovely lady! Gold tag--flat hobo Le Dix!

I know! I spoke with Corey about it and she said it was "super-duper rare"!
she sent me the Ad photo when the pattern and vachetta trim was first released;

She is truly a sea of knowledge!

Amazing picture. So they made a fb hobo in season on, but only in vachetta with this fabric? So super rare indeed. Please share some modeling pics, I'd love to see how it looks worn.

Your burgundy fbf must be super rare too -- had no idea they made on in this colour.

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.

Ooh lala beautiful I know how much you must love carrying that beauty, here's its little sister, I love her too X

Hello,

This may be the wrong place to ask, but do all of the 2004 twiggys have pewter hardware? I just received one and it is brass.

Thanks in advance!

Fall/winter 2004 has brass hardware. Spring/summer is pewter.

I've shot my Balenciaga intensive collection. The oldies 2001 to 2004 are by far the best!! 2005 & 2007 were also pretty awesome...and I love Metallics, like the 2009 Limited Edition, 2009 Stardust & 2011 Milkyway.

RDC - why are all your pictures now deleted?
