Which pigalle model??

[Nicolebarbie90]

hello everyone, I need some help, I have 3 pairs of louboutin pigalle, 2 are the old original version, one I think from 2007, while the other has an elastic band so I think it's from around 2010/2011..... the third that I recently bought and the problem, I don't think it's the post 2013 model, but at the same time it's slightly different from the other 2, can anyone give it a time frame? I specify that I obviously bought it used since the pigalle 120 are no longer there, thanks

I believe these are all pre-2013 Pigalle 120's.
Even prior to 2013, the Pigalle 120 had very slight variations over the years.
I have 8 pairs of Black Patent Pigalle 120's ranging from 2006 to 2012 and they are all very slightly different.
Since they are handmade, there are always going to be subtle variations.
I believe the elastic band in the back was only for 2012. I have pairs with receipts from 2010 and 2011 and neither have the back elastic.

Would love to see a picture of all the different Pigalle variations all in 1 picture in your thread for comparison and see what everyone likes best.

Thank you so much, so even these in pictures are pre-2013 right?

I actually thought about starting a new thread on just the pre-2013 Pigalle. All my Pigalles except 3 pairs are from pre-2013. Most of my older Pigalles I purchased as pre-owned though so the documentation on the exact dates of manufacture/purchase are a little vague. Maybe when I get some free time...

Here you are, ive done my best, its pretty difficult to point out the differences in pictures, but they are slightly different, i must say all 3 are absolutely original, cause ive got also their invoices, but the question is, are they all pre 2013? As you can see one is in kid leather, the others 2 in patent

I had a similar question with pre-worn Pigalle 120's prior to purchasing a couple of years ago. Stilly is IMO the 'expert' on this topic--Pigalle 120's. I would trust her opinion.

Stilly I think starting a new thread on just the pre-2013 Pigalle 120 is a great idea and would be very interesting!!

They all look like pre-2013 Pigalles to me with the back elastics pair being the newest in the later 2011/2012 years. If you have the invoices, were they all purchased prior to 2013? I lack the original invoices on most of my pre-owned pairs though they were all authenticated when I purchased them second hand.

thank you very much for the answer, yes the invoices are all pre 2013, but I couldn't explain why there were some differences in comparison, and therefore I had a doubt, even if in reality I too know how to recognize them since the post 2013 model is horrible, but I wanted to understand why they weren't all the same

Stilly, this would be amazing if you get the time and will to do it!! I still go bak through your thread and the photo library here to reference models and colorways of the old Pigalles

Thanks Lola! I might start Pigalle thread this summer if I have time. There are certainly lots of Pigalles I haven't worn in a while that would be nice to break out!
