I'm guessing Castagna from the P tag (looks reddish brown on my screen). Condition looks SOOOOOO much better than just "fair"! Amazing price, too! Very pretty.

Someone scored a deal on this scrumptious "vegan leather" castagna City.

Weird weird weird. The tag front looks pre-2011 while the numbers font looks more like the Papier bags. And the 01? No idea.

And my best color guess is either Bluette or Bleu Lavande. Both colors that had a color code.
It's like someone chopped a City in half horizontally, sewed a Courier XL strap to it and a coin purse to the front. Maybe some kind of Euro-market only prototype?
Well, now I know what will be keeping me awake tonight...

I believe the color is Mauve. But yes, sleepless nights ahead.

Hard to tell; my computer runs extremely cool-toned. I've already devoted way too much time to solving this!

"As is" condition Pine City for $1245

This is utterly insane!!
An “As Is” bag should not be more than $1k, especially when the wear involves “splitting” and “balding”!!!

I’m pretty sure those pics belong to someone else & another overpriced listing thats no longer available (and that description is not accurate)

this is the only thing that seller currently has listed. I sure as heck wouldn’t trust it

04 Eggplant WE $$$$$$$$...

Identical to sold one, here are photos of the sold auction?, hard to find (I selected purple bals and pages and pages after I found it again) … same stupid shoulder strap (tassels) in the pocket description

Thanks @iluvmybags @vesna I don’t think I can delete my post in finds but I’ll put a disclaimer

Oh no, i don't use VC any more, I have nothing posted , I just left the app to look at the posts from here, from finds thread , but as a seller I always got peanuts and as a buyer the price is always double from what I see posted (customs, authentication, shipping…) , I sold there few Miu Miu large baskets and few other large bags which should not be folded, and that was great because I could use Home Depot boxes and not worry about shipping. Now it is useless to me.

I just went to see what were those and OH my….. another VC edit for me …😂

I can only laugh at the prices just for fun

Or the buyer is re-selling it ?

That suede in that color add to wish-list ✔️

I can't get a good look at the condition of the handles though

Purple suede velo ? This is amazing !
