It’s always best to try it on in store.
On the EU chatting and shopping thread someone posted that all 3 colours were atb maybe a week ago. Best if you keep checking that thread and if you ask, someone will for sure add it to their wish list and post when it is atb again. Or maybe the store can order it for you. Good luck!
I have both and the PM can definitely carry more! For the Marelle, you have to play tetris if you want to fit more but it surprisingly fits more than it looks. I travelled with the Marelle and it fit all my essentials (hand sanitizer, mini pochette, stack of masks, bunch of rubber gloves, card holder, sunglasses, phone). If you're looking to fit more and easily take things out, I think the PM would be easier.
I think the easy pouch fits better on the shoulder but it’s fairly small. I prefer the marelle size but the short strap isn’t as comfortable. Hope that helps!Hi!I'm doubting between the Easy Pouch and the Marelle bag. Which one do you prefer? I'm looking for a small bag that wears comfortable on the shoulder.
Thanks for your input! Was in the store yesterday and they had an black Easy Pouch. At first I thought it would be way too small but it did fit my iPhone XR, key pouch and key holder and that really is all I take with me. I love small bags
so might lean slightly more to the Easy Pouch. But still want to see and try the Marelle in real life 
I prefer the Odeon PM because of the outside pocket. The strap length on both of them are fine for me although I’m very short so I can see they might be too short for other people. If no one else answers, I will measure the length of the straps later tonight but I need to go to work now. Good luck!
I went to check out a couple handbags yesterday and they happened to have the Marelle in the Honey Gold colour so I asked to try it on and I have to say, I just fell in love with it, it is nice in the photos but in person it is just so beautiful. I didn’t buy it right then and there because my CA (Client Advisor) is in another store and I like to be loyal to him, so I just ordered over the phone a couple hrs ago and then found this question.
THOUGHTS: It is such a unique piece, I haven’t seen it as much and it does remind me of the Prada classics but for me this one is a lot more classy. The quality, colour and fit was perfect for me.
STRAP: Definitely a VERY tight shoulder fit but the crossbody strap can be short enough to be a comfortable shoulder bag that falls around the waist area, which is how I like my shoulder bags any way, the short strap will be more of a hand/fore arm bag than shoulder bag and the crossbody because is adjustable can also be as long as I want it to be, it has a very good length range.
COLOUR: I feel like this colour is the perfect every day wear. My colour palette in my closet consist mostly of denim, white and black as I am a very casual/white tennis shoes type of person, and this goes perfectly with all of my outfits. I tried it on at the store with a black dress that had gold buttons on the sides and considering it has silver hardware and I was wearing gold jewellery, it still looked really good with that combination because of the Honey Gold colour which makes up for the contrast of silver and gold. Very versatile for sure. Also, if you take the long strap off and the pouch with the little chain out too, you get a one colour purse which gives you a totally formal look.
I hope this was helpful and I’m looking forward to seeing some photos of the Marelle bags in this forum!
If you are on the edge with the Marelle, I’d recommend trying to see it in person or at least a similar colour/shape at the store first, so you can get a better idea of what the leather feels and looks like, it is much better in person I think.
Once I receive mine I will share with all of you!

The black restocked on Wed around midnight for about an hour. I had been on the fence about this bag, but when it restocked I knew it was now or never
It really is a gorgeous bag. I have the same one. It barely fits all the things I need, but it's manageable. I wish they allowed more length on the short strap. The straps are not epi leather, which give it some flexibility and comfort. My biggest worry is the LV logo cut-out will eventually tear somehow with repeated friction of the little case...at which point will be very noticeable, so I'm waiting to see if I like the Boulogne Noir better. Fear of tearing the logo prevents me from even wanting to use the pocket. They should have just embossed it and let it be...
My Marelle in Gold Miel has just been delivered and I can’t believe how perfect it is, even down to the yellow stitching 
I was really looking forward to getting this bag but it’s even better than I was anticipating.
Photos to come.
Also after all these years it’s my very first LV bag

I ordered from LV Australia because I’m in Australia.
Fairly sure all three of the original colours were available when I ordered on Monday night and I didn’t waste any time dithering over whether to buy or not because I couldn’t bear to miss out on the Miel colour - lesson learned too many times!
My new Marelle, also known my LV gateway bag 
Love it, I can't find anything negative to say about this bag.
