odeon 2020 what are your thoughts?

[Moestyles]

I tend to go for the PM size as well in most bags! If I get a bigger bag--it just gets too heavy for me as I tend to add more stuff! I completely agree that the quality has changed over the years! Things are so different now!

I agree about the logo on the luggage tag. It looks unfinished and to be honest the natural Odeon PM was too much vachetta for me to worry about especially with me running around town with two small boys. Like you said we are the minority since the bag is still popular but I agree that the leather and luggage tag felt “meh”

I thought I would try it because it looked so comfortable and I was going to just remove the luggage tag that I didn't like. However, once I received it and inspected it, I decided it was not for me. I think the cost for this bag is a lot when they have scrimped on important details. I did not like the plastic feeling under the liner when I was pulling it out to look at the date code. My $350 Coach bags have better feeling lining. The luggage tag metal logo looks sloppy, which is sad because I have seen replicas (that I do not buy) with better attention to that. Lastly, I guess I am the only one that is concerned with how soft the black leather feels. I see that it will have tons of wrinkling after short period of use compared to the leather on my other LV bags. That is a catch 22 of course because that softness is more comfortable, but I don't like the thought of the leather looking old after barely any use. My ebene Speedy from 2017 still looks new.

Just my two cents of course and since I see a lot of people purchasing it, I know that I am in the minority. I just don't care to spend almost $2,000 on a canvas bag where the previous attention to detail that I loved about LV is so lacking

Sorry I meant to reply to your post and quoted the wrong person

Hey there I ended up with the South Bank. I did compare the Odeon PM and I felt the South Bank better suited me. They didn’t have the black Odeon in stock either. Here she is!

Can someone who has the pm comment on the opening of the bag. Is it difficult to put in and take out items? I will be carrying a tp 15 or 19, glasses case OM mm, small wallet, 6 ring key holder and maybe round coin purse.

To give you an idea. I can use my mini pochette in the PM however I have to turn it sideways to get it in and out comfortably. In addition, I use a Chanel card holder and LV key pouch. Room on top for glass case.

Hi it measures 7 inches when the zip is open, as advised in the Odeon Club House. Luckily I have managed to order both as I too was in sure fwhich one to go for. The MM has arrived and PM will be here Monday.

I tried both pm and mm in store today. Lovely. I like mm coz it’s bigger and you can put a shawl in case it’s cold etc. will be getting it soon
..need to wait awhile coz i just got a neoneo in empriente last month. Also do you think I can put my neoneo strap on it if I want it to be shorter? ‍♀‍♀

I have the NeoNoe and yes, you can swap the straps.

I have both, so I can send you some comparison pics. I actually prefer the Odeon PM for a few reasons: 1) because of the size of the front pocket, which I find practical for easy access to frequently used items. 2) the Odeon PM is wider at the bottom so you can fit more without it looking stretched out. They both have adjustable straps which is great, but 3) the Odeon strap is removable and wider (more comfortable) so you can actually switch it up and even add a top handle. 4) the canvas is a little softer on the Odeon PM which makes it more flexible.

You really can’t go wrong with either, but I haven’t worn my SBB very much, especially as I now gravitate more to the Odeon. I love the worry free black trim. Pricewise the SBB wins.

Just to complicate things a little, the Flower Zipped Tote PM is also around the same size with an open pocket on both sides and comes with top handles and removable strap (not adjustable).

I have all 3 bags and to me the Odeon is the most comfortable and versatile of every bag I own!!

WOW!! Crossbody trifecta. I bought the Odeon PM in black and thought it is so supple and easy to carry. I also tried on the zipped flower tote for a shoulder/hand carry option. I like the Odeon PM for the easy use. I saw someone add a handle which changed up the look. Can you weigh in on your flower tote? Does it slouch much? What are the cons? Flower tote (zipped) is still on my mind. Thx!
