Why is nobody talking about the Rodeo sling pouch. Can’t find anything online or youtube. It seems like a nice bag for phone, keys and small cardholder.
I was thinking of buying it and getting a crossbody strap to go with..but I’m not sure…?IMG_4867.webp

I bought a small one in latte today 😍 I absolutely love the black one, but I don’t need another black bag 😂 And I don’t have a beige or brown bag at all…. So this seems perfect also because it’s spring an I love to wear light colors an a matching bag.

Found it preloved, pristine and for a steal. I will post pictures when she is here.
 
This is the story of two Rodeos. Like many of you, I fell in love with the Rodeo when it was released, but when they released the grained leather version my love only intensified. However, I was having a hard time justifying the price. Last week I found it 25% off in the Farfetch sale - medium with gold hardware, which was exactly what I wanted. I ordered it immediately.

When it arrived on Thursday, I was so disappointed when my heart didn't flutter the way it normally does when a new bag arrives. I don't know what the issue is - I absolutely love the look of it (it gives me slouchy, edgy Kelly vibes), I think it'll go perfectly with my wardrobe (for context, my #1 favourite bag is the City and I'm a jeans, t-shirt and sneakers girl who occasionally switches out the jeans for trousers), and I LOVE the functionality - I'm obsessed with the big back slip pockets, the two compartments, and the zippered pocket.

It's worth noting that I had raging PMS on Thursday when it arrived. When I have PMS, I basically hate everyone and everything, so that could be why I wasn't over the moon when I unboxed it.

I spent all day Friday watching videos and reading this thread (twice) to try to make up my mind on whether to keep or return the bag. During my research I went on Balenciaga.com and found THIS stunner in the colour Sesame:

When I tell you how my heart fluttered when I saw it! I'm a huge taupe/beige lover, and I strongly prefer those shades with a pink undertone. I can't tell whether this is going to be taupe with a pink undertone, or just straight up pink, but either way I'm loving the way this colour looks on their website. (I have a small City in Stone Beige and absolutely love the tone, but in person it's WAY different than it appears on the website, so that's why I'm unsure how the sesame colour will look in person.)

But the price. The only reason I bought the black medium grained was because it was 25% off, so I really couldn't justify spending almost $1500 CAD more (after tax) to get the sesame version. Then I realized that the small version is "only" (insert eye roll) $4150 CAD and immediately started researching comparisons between the two sizes to see if a small will work for me.

Then the drama. Last night on the website, the small version in sesame was listed as pre-order with an expected delivery date of September 9, 2025. I was crushed and decided I didn't want to wait that long.

This morning I decided to have another look and lo and behold, the Pre-Order button had changed to Add to Cart. Which I did. Immediately. I'm going to compare the two bags and return the one that doesn't work. If anyone made it this far through my novel and is interested, I'll post an update when the sesame one arrives!

In the meantime, can anyone attest to the differences in capacity between the small Rodeo and the small City? Dimensionally they're similar in size, although I'm thinking because the Rodeo expands it'll hold a lot more. I'd love to hear your experiences!
 
Distressed marine blue giving major Olsen beat up Kelly vibes.

I would love to see the Rodeo in non-distressed blue. And also would love more colors in the vegetable leather.
