For those of you that also have the South Bank Besace, which size in the Odeon is closest? PM or MM? Any pics side by side? I looked at measurements online but it doesn’t help much. Need a visual! Also would you choose the black or natural trim if you already have the SBB?

I was told the Besace was very close in size to the Odeon MM. I would go with the black trim because of the low maintenance and imo as the vachetta ages it doesnt look so good (i know there are others who like it but its just me)
 
I love my black Odeon MM. It is definitely my everyday bag. If I had gotten the natural, I would be more hesitant to use it daily. And I prefer the wider strap vs. the SBB.

I need some help please! I was set on getting my hands on the SBB but after seeing this post with all of the pictures I’m torn now between the Odeon and the SBB. I like the SBB because of the carefree casual vibes it gives but the Odeon is a stunner. I’m a mom of two small boys and I’m looking for something practical that I can grab and go run errands with. I feel like with the Odeon I have to “dress up” to use it. I do like the different styles I see that some have done like adding a top handle etc. Ugh I’m so torn now... what should I go to with?

I have the Odeon mm in noir for 2 weeks. I like to carry it on shoulder most of the time and added a top handle strap as well and also crossbody if need to be hand free. I normally use it during daytime for casual outings, not really suitable for dress up occasion. I chose noir leather for worryfree from rain and stain so it is a casual bag for me.
I checked the SBS online and like it too being DE and a lot cheaper than Odeon mm. Difficult to decide unless see them together..... sorry not much help!

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!!
