Guide: Odyssey Tote Bag Comparison
With three tote styles now in the Ela & Earth lineup, we thought it was time for a proper side-by-side comparison! Each one has been thoughtfully designed with our signature mix of practicality and style - but with different sizes, shapes, and features, they each serve a slightly different purpose.
Whether you're packing light, commuting daily, or heading off for a weekend away, this comparison breaks down the key details of the Original Tote Bag, the new Medium Tote, and the Overnight Travel Tote. From capacity and compartments to carry options and what you can actually fit inside - consider this your quick guide to what makes each style unique.
.01 - Original Tote Bag
Our best-selling Original Tote Bag has earned its cult-favourite status for a reason! Spacious, stylish and endlessly practical, it’s made to keep up with wherever life takes you.
With a thoughtfully designed interior featuring a padded laptop sleeve, fully insulated 1L water bottle pocket, internal zip and slip compartments, a key leash and multiple external pockets, this tote makes organisation feel effortless.
Finished with luxe gold hardware, carry handles and an adjustable shoulder strap, it’s designed for total comfort on the go. There's even a built-in luggage band to slip over your suitcase handle when you're travelling.
We’d recommend the Original Tote for: those who need to carry a laptop to work along with their lunch, water bottle, notebooks and other daily essentials. The laptop sleeve can comfortably fit most 14” laptops and a 15” Macbook Air.
From long days at the office to weekend getaways and everything in between, this is the all-rounder tote you'll reach for on repeat!
.02 - Medium Tote Bag
Say hello to the Medium Tote Bag - the newest addition to our Tote family, recently launched in the Odyssey 3.0 Collection. Think of it as the little sister to our Original Tote Bag: same much-loved details, just in a more compact silhouette!
With internal and external pockets, a tech sleeve (measured to 30cm), fully insulated lining, luxe gold hardware and even a built-in luggage band, it’s thoughtfully designed to keep your essentials organised and close at hand. The main difference? It won’t fit your laptop (but will fit an iPad or Kindle).
Chic enough for brunch, practical enough for the office, and compact enough to carry anywhere - it’s a streamlined solution for days when you want function and freedom!
We’d recommend the Medium Tote Bag for: those who don’t need to bring a laptop to work, but still need a stylish and functional bag that fits their daily essentials. It’s also a great compact size for running errands or heading out with the kids.
Lightweight, stylish and endlessly versatile, our Medium Tote is your new go-to for every day.
.03 - Overnight Travel Tote Bag
Meet your frequent-flyer companion, the Overnight Travel Tote. Designed with travel plans in mind, this elevated carryall is bigger, roomier, and thoughtfully crafted to take you from spontaneous weekend getaways to the international gate!
Spacious enough to fit a change of clothes, shoes, laptop, Toiletry and Cosmetic Pouch and more, it’s the ideal size for overnight stays, carry-on travel or commuting with extras. Inside, you’ll find a laptop sleeve and handy internal pockets - all designed to keep your things organised and within easy reach. Unlike the other Totes, our Overnight Bag doesn’t have an insulated lining, with the exception of the insulated water bottle pocket.
The wide zip opening makes packing a breeze, while the built-in luggage band slides seamlessly over your suitcase handle. Finished with luxe gold hardware, sturdy top handles and a removable shoulder strap, the Overnight Travel Tote is made to go the distance - and look good while doing it.
We recommend the Overnight Travel Bag for: those looking for an organised and practical carry-on bag that can also double as an extra-large work tote for those days when you need to carry just a little more!
Whether you’re heading to the office, packing for a weekend away, or just need a bag that keeps up with your everyday life - we have a Tote Bag to suit your needs.
From our iconic Original Tote Bag to the compact-yet-capable Medium Tote and roaming-ready Overnight Travel Tote, each design is packed with thoughtful details to make your life a little easier and a whole lot more stylish!
