I do not like the new Odeon because of the odd placement of the tag (yes I know that it can be removed, but the ring is still in that odd spot) and the corner leather patches. If they at least didn't have the hook in the middle, I may have considered the PM. I'd rather get a classic style without tags in the middle of the bag.
These are my thoughts as well. I really like the bag but the luggage tag annoys. There is a reason it is called a luggage tag. It belongs on luggage. I think I must just be getting old because I'm tired of all the extra crap they are putting on bags. I miss the classic styles of monogram bags.

That is what I said recently too! (getting old part) I prefer the classics and while I have liked some luggage tags to get stamps on, that doesn't mean I want a tag on every damn purse. I want the option to have or not have it and I definitely don't want it in the middle of the bag. I also hate that stenciled out LV charm. I saw one bag coming that has a luggage tag, a clochette, and the stencil looking LV charm. Talk about OVERKILL!
 
I like the new Odeon, but still not 100% sure on the size. I haven’t see the actual bag. Hopefully my local store will have it soon.
I like it too!! Have placed an order and paid for it. Waiting for it to be shipped now to my country which is not available atm. I checked with the CS and was also debating on which size to get. To put in context - she said that the PM size is similar to the pochette metis... I have been waiting for an LV bag which is more price friendly (compared to others due to the recent few prices increases) and can be used as a cross body and shoulder bag well. And I like a monogram without a vanchetta so that its usage can be perhaps extended in some ways. Will post once received, I cannot wait as I have been eyeing it since I saw it on instagram on 1/7 and not sure when it would be launched and when I called the LV hotline in my country, was told it only just launched that same day. :cool:
 
I just got back from my Louis Vuitton store and they had 2 of each size and color in stock! I thought I would want the small one, but it was much smaller than I thought. For comparison, I was using my pochette metis today, so I tired to load all of my things in the odeon pm and it was a very tight fit (to the point it made the canvas kinda wonky when I zipped it up) and was not very accessible due to the small opening. Comparing the Pochette metis and the odeon pm side by side, the size looked similar but since the metis is "horizontal", it is easy to grab everything.
I should have taken some pics. I will say when I tried on the odeon pm I loved the look of it, and how comfortable it was. The strap is wide which makes it comfortable as a shouldered or cross body.
But....for me there were too many cons, for the price, so I ended up not buying it.

That's disappointing!

I have to say I think I am in agreement with you after receiving my PM. May I ask why you were not interested in the MM then?
 
I just ordered mm in black to be collected in store next week cos still not sure about the sizes. If pm is too small or mm too big on me as I’m 5”3 medium size.
 
I have the MM and I’m 5’1. I think the MM is a perfect size and this is coming from someone that prefers small bags.
Thanks for your info. That’s definitely reassuring to know I may have chosen the right size. I really like the outside pocket, the zipper top for extra security, not much of glazings and no pointed and folded bottom. I just hope the weight of bag is not heavy.
