Rodeo is a relatively new grained leather that Delvaux now uses to replace the Sellier (earlier version of grained leather). I have yet to see the rodeo leather in person.
I have a Brillant mini in sellier végétal which still holds up very well (it’s more than 2 years old). Just make sure you stuff it well when you don’t use it as the grained leather tends to get more slouchy over time. It has a different vibe than the box leather in my opinion. Softer and more round, very cute! Unfortunately I don’t own any box leather from Delvaux yet but from what I heard it’s a quite strong and resistant leather compared to Hermes box. I’m contemplating one box Brillant mini too.
It’s best if you can go into the store and try both. See what you like better in person.
Good luck deciding!
! You are very lucky! The sellier vegetal mini has been and still is my fav and what I want l. Unfortunately it’s no longer in production. Apart from vegetal I’m not a huge fan of any of the other colours besides white but that only comes in box and the colour itself is hard to maintain.... sooo...... decisions decisions.
