Well. I bought my Odeon MM in November 2022. Honestly I haven't used it that much. We are almost in March. I find the MM small because the bag is very, very slim. It actually doesn't fit that much and I have to "dig" for my items, and the interior is dark blue, and I hate doing that when I'm at the checkout line.

The crossbody strap is too wide and the look I'm still getting used to on my body. So I use a 16in Etsy strap to make this bag a shoulder bag, but the strap keeps falling off my shoulder.

I don't know if I will grow to love this bag, but when I purchased it, I was contemplating the Graceful PM. But chose Odeon because of the zippers and of course the outer pocket for my iPhone.

I need to give this bag a little more time.

PS: Some ppl compare the Odeon with the Pochette Métis (at least on YouTube), but in all honesty they are such different bags. One is a big hole meanwhile the other is an accordion briefcase.

Neverfull MM. I bought it a few years back. I hated how square it was and it bumped into everything when I wore it. I also hated how it looked on me - so square and stiff looking. I sold it after owning it a few short months and only carrying it a few times. It wasn’t hard to sell and I didn’t lose too much money on it thankfully. I realized a tote just isn’t for me.

I mean no offense to anyone that likes this bag, but…
I hate the Odeon PM Noir (or what ever it’s called) so much. the strap is wide and it hurts my shoulder if I carry it for any amount of time. I feel like wearing it crossbody looks weird on me, so I only did that a couple of times when I absolutely had to, but it never seemed quite right. I much prefer my Mabillion crossbody (although the strap is a tad too short) but I have ragged it out and it is no longer presentable.
Another thing I hate about that strap is that in the car, it always falls between the seat and the console and then it gets stuck.
I also cannot fit anything of substance in it, nor find anything.
I rue the day I ever saw it. I totally plan to get rid of it.
I just ordered that Loop hobo and I hope I like it.

Any interest in selling it if it's the Damier Ebene print? I had mine stolen from my car trunk in January and I’m still not over it. It was only 4 months old and I purchased it in Europe for only $1600! (after VAT and the euro being down it was the only way I could justify another bag lol)

I'm still heartbroken about losing it and cant seem to find a good used one for sale in my area. Haha so if you dont like it, definitely reach out!

I have bought and sold 3 different types of Alma BB. First was in Epi. I thought it’s very hard to get things in and out due to the hardy leather and the strap digs right into my shoulders. I need my bags to be crossbody too.
Then got the DE Alma BB because it felt softer and less rigid. However, carrying it still was difficult to get things in and out and it would scratch my hands all the time. It gradually also became hard to open and close because I used it less often.
Finally I thought I hit jackpot and found the true love Neo Alma BB. It’s soft leather, opening is wide and soft, no more scratching and bonus, it’s slightly bigger than the usual Alma BBs. However, carrying it crossbody still felt awkward and uncomfortable and I finally realise, it’s really because the crossbody straps hooks only at the handles width and it’s too narrow to be functional for me to be used as a crossbody without feeling it digs into my shoulders no matter what kind of straps I pair it with. Definitely a cute bag but not so functional for my usage because I need to be hands free and use it exclusively as crossbody. I’m just not the dainty lady-type of bag carrier. I thought it’s odd why I always get shoulder aches whenever I use my Alma BB when it harder stuff much. I could stuff the same amount on another bag and use the same wide width strap and never get shoulder aches from other bags but felt aches when I use Alma BB. Took me 3 bags worth to realise it. Guess I just didn’t want to face the truth.

Arghhh....sorry about it being stolen. I have it in the monogram/ black leather print. I understand how it feels like to lose something, it's kind of like you're subconsciously searching for a replacement. And it doesn't stop.

I will give mine some more time before any transaction. After all, I got it in November 2022. Some bags take me quite a while to get used to/ fall in love. My pochette metis took me one whole year before I started to use it. Don't know why.

Any possibility to travel again? I do take advantage of tax refunds when I travel too. It's the only way to "save" on handbags now.

Yeah if I can’t find it for a good price, I’ll definitely be going back to Europe in September. Last year I bought 5 LVs in two trips just because of how much I was saving!! Idk if it’ll ever be that “cheap” by comparison though since the Euro is back up and they raised the prices there, but it’s still a pretty big savings
