I adore the brown Reporter but it is smaller than my beige/black one which is just the right size. The brown Reporter is 10" long w/out the end pockets in case anyone is interested. 10" for inside items is not very spacious IMO. My larger beige Reporter was $2225 on sale last year, so the brown one doesn't feel like a sale bag at all. AND, the brown used to be $2725 before the price increase.
There will be second markdown after the holidays on items not sold according to the s/a's at Troy, MI NM. The additional savings will be about 25%.
