Trudeau in 14" = Brown leather, black canvas or nylon (can't remember)
Trudeau in 17" = brown leather only
De Gaulle (unsure of size)= Black leather, brown leather, a few others.
Kingsford Camera Bag = White leather w/ black trim
Orly Organic Tote = tan canvas
Deurne 48 Hour Bag = white, pink-ish, something else not black

I don't recall seeing any Malpensa's.

$300 for the leather trudeaus, 125 for the canvas. Can't remember price for anything else. One very small denim laptop case. A few of the big canvas totes. Some weekender type bags.

I'll proxy for a few people. Get at me. Rate will be 10%+ship, gifted, no returns, no weekender bags (too much trouble to pack and ship).

Yes that is the trudeau.

Allow me to clarify. Pricing was done by general size and material of the bag. So one listing was "leather laptop bag." I'm assuming that includes the Trudeau and the De Gaulle.

Weekenders: ~$700
Leather Laptop Bags: $295
Canvas/Nylon Laptop Bags: $125

Trudeaus: lots of brown leather 14", one brown leather 17" (maybe more in the back), one black nylon or canvas 14"
De Gaulles: a lot. Black leather, white leather, red leather, contrast color handles. Not sure what sizes.
Kingsford Camera Bag: White leather w/ black trim
Orly Organic Tote: tan canvas with black handles and tan handles.
Deurne 48 Hour Bag = white, pink-ish, something else not black.

THERE WAS MORE THERE. That is what I can remember, what interested me.
