A Closer Look
Black Leather
A deep black with a close, even grain that picks up soft highlights along the curves.
Silver Hardware
The zipper pulls have a textured diamond panel, and the buckles and rivets match their shine.
Ribbon Pull
A flat black ribbon hangs down the front, so the pocket zipper is easy to find and grab.
Four Rivets
The leather tab at the top of the ribbon is stitched around its edge and set with four round rivets.
The Front Zipper Pocket
Slide the ribbon pull down and the zipper opens a pocket that runs most of the way down the front panel.
A phone, a card holder and a set of keys sit there within quick reach, and the V-shaped seam keeps the panel neat when it is full.
Inside the Main Space
The top zipper opens the main space wide, and a black fabric lining covers the walls. You can see everything at a glance.
Two zipper pockets sit side by side on one inner wall, and a slip pocket for cards lines the other. A tablet, a wallet and a bottle all fit together.
| Space | Where | Good For |
|---|---|---|
| Front zipper pocket | Down the front panel | Phone, cards and keys |
| Side pockets | Left and right | A folding umbrella or a phone |
| Back zipper pocket | Near the top of the back | Passport and cash |
| Inner zipper pockets | One inside wall | Earbuds, lip balm and spare change |
| Slip pocket | The other inside wall | Transit pass and cards |
| Main compartment | Under the top zipper | Tablet, wallet and a small bottle |
Side and Back Pockets
An open pocket sits low on each side. It holds a folded umbrella upright, and a phone drops in for a quick grab.
On the back, a zipper pocket sits just under the handle. Keep a passport or a boarding pass there, against your back and out of sight.
Straps and Handle
The straps are wide webbing, capped with leather where they join the back panel. Slide the metal buckle on each one to adjust the fit.
The webbing runs down to a metal ring at the lower corner of the bag. A leather handle on top lets you carry the Odalys in one hand.
| Carry | How | Good For |
|---|---|---|
| Both shoulders | An arm through each strap | Long walks and full days |
| One shoulder | One strap over the shoulder | Short errands |
| By the handle | The top handle in your hand | Offices and shops |
About the Leather
The Odalys is made from genuine leather. The pebbled grain is part of the hide, so each bag looks a little different.
Over time the surface softens and takes on a faint shine where your hands touch it most.
