I seem to remember a post somewhere saying that the L12 is slightly deeper than the original to accommodate the side pockets. Am I imagining this?!?
Luminary 12 with a MCB Freudian Slip, Daylight Backpack, EDC Side Effect or Side Effect, zippered Large and Small Shopbags, Co-Pilot, Travel Tray, Snake Charmer
@Traveltech, I don't remember such a thing, though it's possible I missed it. What I remember is that the section surrounded by decorative piping (the very front of the bag) is narrower than on the original because of the deeper side pockets.
Actually, I wonder if you're thinking about this post--does that look familiar? That post does say "It looks like it's 0.25-0.5" deeper" but it's in reference to the pocket being deeper, not the Luminary itself.
In that same thread, @moriond does a better job of explaining the change than I did at the beginning of this post:
I have a bunch of great bags. Favorite color combos include Aubergine/Island, Navy/Solar, Forest/UV, Original Halcyon/Wasabi, Cloud/Viridian... and now also Seapine/UV!
I've fulfilled my dream of palindromic-colored nested bags! Navy/Ultraviolet Pilot with Aubergine/Island Side Effect inside: blue purple purple blue. Forest/UV A45 with Aubergine/Wasabi Co-Pilot inside: green purple purple green.
