I exchanged the small for a medium and I absolutely love this bag! The leather is scrumptious and oh-so-buttery! My husband, who is normally really opinionated on the brands I’m drawn to lol, loves this Rodeo bag as well. He took me by surprise when he said that he thinks the price tag on the bag is worth it since the entire bag is made of leather (even the interior is leather; it’s not fabric or suede lining).
keep coming back to this thread! Thank you all for the info and photos!! Getting seriously tempted!
Hi! Do you mean that they already increased the prices on the Rodeos? Didn’t they just launch in April? TIA!
Yes they did. When I tried the large out in the store, it was $5400. But then it went up to $5700 in two weeks or so. And then it went up to $6500! I'm kicking myself for not getting it at $5400 (even though I was hoping for silver hardware because I do not like gold hardware).
Whoa!! That is really nuts. I mean, I thought Chanel increases were bad. That’s not a very nice way to treat your customers…esp given that the brand is working very hard to get clients to return. Did they do that with all the sizes (I imagine so)?
The other sizes went up as well (the medium is now the same price as the old large price), but I didn't track the launch prices of those so I don't know if the increase was as steep.
Balenciaga realized the bag was selling like hot cakes, so the business response was to increase the price due to the high demand. It makes sense, but because I know the original price, now I feel silly buying a large even though the silver hardware version was released (sans charms) knowing that I coould have gotten it for over $1100 plus tax less if I decided earlier.
OMFGGGGGGGG 😱 this color is TDF! I’m dead! 
I decided to give this bag another try but up a size and in a different texture.
Last time I felt the medium size in black with gold hardware just didn’t stand out from my other bags. I have too many others like it.
This time I went up to the large size and in croc embossed since I think the slouchier the better with this style and I don’t have anything croc embossed today.
Now I have to wait patiently for this pre order which may take two or so months!

I just decided to try this bag in the size smal! I was looking at the mini size too but I wanted that slouch and thought the small might be better for that. It also looks like the handle on the small has a bigger drop which would give me more options.
It's not just Bal, it's Kering brands. They test the market with a launch price, and if a product gains traction, it almost immediate goes up maximizing mark-up during the up-swing (no pun intended).
