I thought the Pierre Cardin Creation label ended on the 60s/70s cusp or around 1971 or 72 - ending about the time Mr. Cardin's hand wasn't on everything as it once was and the line started licensing. But correct me if I am wrong. It doesn't look like the same label as in the Resource, but that just could mean that it hasn't been submitted. On the other hand, the Japanese writing makes me wonder whether this was sold in the Japanese market (very highly possible) (and yes, that's Japanese writing) or its a faux Cardin. But again, maybe we'll see what others have to say. I don't think the Creation label was used in licensing ever but I could be wrong there, too.
