I have yet to find the real thing, but I found an Eastpak Returnity in orange off ebay, so I bought it, disassembled it and dyed it.
Here's the original:
and here's how it looks now:
the orange was more of a burnt orange in real life, so the dye ended up making the red look a bit rusty, and even though I added a blue based red dye (and two bottles of fuchsia!) the orange still came through! ah well.
it's not perfect, I have to finish sewing the bottom and the straps back on, but it'll do until I can find the real thing!
