Here is a photo of my City bags in a Billy bookcase (I left the backing piece off the case to make extra space)

OMG it's City heaven!!
I keep almost all of my bags on the top shelf of the closet I share with my husband. I love walking in and seeing them all every day. Never have a problem with dust. I have a few hanging and a few not-yet-vintage ones on a shelf. BTW, that’s a Forest Green Logan up there, one of the $10 LetGo bags I got a couple of years ago! Oh, I forgot one lone Ergo(not vintage) tucked in a corner. Poor guy!
it looks like a store shelf of city bags haha! I ended up getting the skinny billy with the 6 sections. The way yours is set up would not work in my room
Im gonna eat and then put it together and then hopefully I’ll have an organized space for my bags!
If anyone was interested in the green companion bag I posted about a few days ago, the auction ends thursday but I will not be bidding so no competition over here! I took my black companion to the store today and its a really heavy bag. I don’t see myself using it often enough to justify adding another one to my collection
Just before it started really blowing up. By the time they left Europe (went to Spain after Italy and flew out of Barcelona), Italy was all over the news and I was told not to show up to work for two weeks. But since we are in NYC, before those two weeks were over no one was coming to work anyway.
Tentatively (you can never be sure until it arrives with a PM purchase) checking a purple station off my list and cutting up my credit card. It was a tense buy. Another poster alerted me to the bag, but parts of it looked navy so the seller took it off line to get sunlight pics (this one person was giving her a hard time), after the fake Willis I wanted it authenticated, which it was and then I had to keep checking the listing to see if it was reactivated yet, then I made an offer panicked and bought it at full price while the tough time giver was still playing 20 questions with the seller. Assuming she ships it, it is mine
I was wondering why they would bypass secluded Cinque Terre for Milan during Covid, but it makes sense now.
That seller seemed very friendly and genuine. I think you landed yourself a purple Station bag!

Thanks! I need to stop buying bags now. I was surprised someone commented it might have been painted because of a Black blob on the hardware, Many of my vintage bags have spots on the metal and they were not painted. This bag is getting raves and raised eyebrows on another site.
I *think* that person was noodling for a discount....not to steal that word from you but it made me lol so, I took it. I could be wrong but I thought that person was the hang tag Nazi we encountered here a while back. I'm not sure though.
That bag did not look painted or dyed to me. And it's a very lovely shade of purple!
That is what I thought at first, but there are several on a FB group that I think are her “we” that are speculating it was painted. Admittedly that the inside of the flap looked purple and the inside of the bag looked navy gave me pause last night when @CPSE (Thank you) gave me a heads up, but it was authenticated so I didn’t hesitate too long buying it Today.
Good thing you didn't hesitate today! Are you happy dancing all over the place now? Or am I the only one who does that?
