    Ordered one for myself and one for a Christmas prezzie.
    It wouldn't accept discount code for me but went on live chat and very nice guy added the discount manually for me.
    Hope this helps someone else.

    Looks like all the Reths on Amazon gone back up - cheapest seems to be organic green at £38.
    Beware as the Reths pon Javari are smaller than those on Amazon - well the one I had delivered was a 'RETH S' anyway and with less pockets.

    You can still get Black, Bright Purple and Peppery at £25 on Amazon... and with the code they come down to £20.

    EDIT: My mistake - the ones still available are the smaller one. Gutted, I ordered one last night and assumed it was normal, I didn't even know they did a Reth Small. So, how bad is it? Should I cancel my order? Can anyone tell me how much smaller it is than the normal Reth please?

    EDIT again: Looks like prices have shot up again now even in the colours I mentioned above! I don't understand these sellers. Surely if people buy when they are £25, and then stop buying when they double the price... doesn't that tell them something?

    Yes I thought a Reth was a Reth - will go and measure for you now.
    Still quite nice - not exactly small and quite usable - but one main comp instead of two and the front pocket doesn't have the slip pockets - they are now inside the main one.
    Don't know why they don't make it clear when you order!

    Alice Blue Reth now back in stock on Amazon at £27.50 :)
    Can't post link as a new user!

    Re the Reths - the small has a base of 9 x 3 3/4 inches and the ordinary is 10 1/5 x 4 1/2
    Did take a pic and will try and upload. Samll purple Reth on left (is brighter than that) and Alice Blue 'normal' on right

    Looking on Javari - they don't give measurements and it seems the descriptions are the same - which is wrong as different number of pockets.
    Also re above post - I can't find any cheap Alice Blue ones on Amazon and the cheapest is almost £40 - both on Amazon and Javari - unless someone else knows better.

    Have just emailed Javari to complain - looks like normal ones come from Amazon and small from Javari - but have two more to come so will keep you posted!

    Thanks so much - you are an absolute star! I really don't know what to do now. The main reason I like the Reth is because it has so many pockets. I might be ok with it being a bit smaller than the one I already have, but if it only has one main pocket I don't know... £20 is a bargain, especially since it's now gone back up to £50, but I just don't know.

    That Alice Blue colour is gorgeous!

    Yes should have a £13 organic green coming - but that will probably be small - the peppery one coming from Amazon should be normal - so probably what I would keep.

    The normal ones have organiser front pocket, two main packets (one with another zipped inside) and also a back pocket - the small has a front pocket (no organisation) main large pocket with slip pockets and zipped small pocket - plus also has pocket on back.
    Yes I quite like the blue - though don't normally do blue -so thought beige might be best.

    I wouldn't cancel an order as with both Javari and Amazon the returns should be free.
