Just posted this in the clubhouse, but thought I'd share here too.
My Odeon MM came in today and I absolutely love it! It's big enough to carry my essentials with room to spare, and I don't feel like it's too big as a shoulder or crossbody bag. I think the dimensions online are deceiving and make it seem like there is not much of a difference between the PM and MM. But after seeing both bags in person, the PM just looked too small (for me), whereas the MM felt like the perfect size, not too big at all. Like others have said, the strap is wide and very comfortable, and the magnetic front pocket is super convenient.

My only 2 complaints about the bag are the luggage tag and the strap keeper. I don't mind hanging the luggage tag on my bag, and it's nice that it's removable, but the way the gold LV is cut just looks weird to me. It's like a piece in the crevice between the L and V didn't get cut out correctly, so it's just leftover there. I wish I could just pick that piece off! I've looked at photos of other bags and they all seem to be like this.

My issue with the strap is that the strap keeper is sewn into place, so you can't adjust it to go along with your strap. Not sure why that was done. If you use the strap on its longest setting, the strap keeper won't reach the strap and the end of your strap just hangs around by itself. The second to lowest setting seems to be okay, but not ideal for a crossbody as it's already a little short even on the longest setting. Grr.

Here is the back of the strap keeper, where it's sewn into place on the strap.

These are not deal breakers for me, so I’m keeping this beauty :yahoo:

Excellent photos! I also noticed the strap keeper issue - none of my other LV bags have the keeper seem in place on the strap - but it's not a deal breaker for me either. And I totally get what you mean about the gold LV hardware on the tag! When I ordered my MM Odeon, I also ordered the PM size, which I've returned. On the tag on the PM, the gold LV hardware on the tag was wonky! So check your tags everyone. I always forensically examine all my purchases, and I'm sure they think I'm extra fussy when I go into store. However, I work hard to pay for them, so my purchases need to be perfect! :)
 
I just received my Odeon PM today and have to say I love everything about it. I solved the strap issue by making it shorter and adding some strap extenders that I also use on my Flower Tote. It fits my Clemence wallet, LV key pouch and mini pochette. I often use my Chanel card case in place of the wallet. My cell phone fits perfectly in the front pocket. I don’t like when my bags are too heavy or too bulky so the PM is perfect for me! The price point is excellent also. I think this bag is my new favourite.

Where are these chainextenders from? Looks great.
 
I love this bag! I went in to get the Pochette Métis but ended up with the odeon pm instead. It just sits nicer. I thought the strap was reasonable in length.. I’m 165cm. I’ve added pics of the Métis and the odeon for comparison

Congratulations !!! Thanks for the pics. I like many others have had to get rid of my mono PM due to glazing issues etc. I think you've made a great choice. Enjoy your lovely new bag xx

I love the look of the bits of chain at the end of the strap! Such a great idea:)
 
I really like this bag, and seriously considered buying it with the black leather...but I already have the old model Odeon PM as well as a Bloomsbury PM, and to me this bag looks like a cross between the two! So I passed this time, and ended up buying an Alma BB in damier ebene instead. But I'm loving all the photos of this bag the rest of you have! It looks like a great bag!

New Odeon looks really great. For some reason I love top handle bags which can also be carried crossbody. What do think is it possible to hook some extra handle and carry Odeon from tophandle aswell.
