Bag of the Week is a franchise that highlights the latest, most hyped luxury bags. Each week, we showcase a bag that is generating significant buzz, whether for its design, exclusivity, or popularity. This week, we’re shining the spotlight on the Balenciaga Rodeo Bag.
First introduced in early 2024, Balenciaga’s campaigns for the Rodeo Bag have featured an illustrious cast of global ambassadors, including Michelle Yeoh, Kim Kardashian, Nicole Kidman, Chinese actress-singer Yang Chaoyue, and American model Amelia Gray.
Named after Beverly Hills’ iconic Rodeo Drive—where fashion and luxury intersect—the Rodeo Bag was immediately cemented as a modern icon. Over a year since its debut, the Rodeo continues to gain momentum.
Crafted from supple, matte-finish calfskin, its slanted shape isn’t just a design flourish—it creates an intentionally open-front structure that adds a nonchalant attitude distinctly Balenciaga. Snap-button pleats allow the silhouette to expand for added practicality, while thoughtful details—such as dual lambskin-lined compartments, patch pockets on the back, discreet logos on the double-lock closure, a carabiner-fastened leather strap, and protective bottom feet—underscore the bag’s fusion of craftsmanship and versatility.
The pre-worn pleats, softened piping, and raw edges evoke a treasured heirloom or a beloved everyday companion—infused with lived-in elegance from the very first wear.
Available in mini, small, medium, and large formats, the Rodeo comes in timeless shades of black, grey, khaki, white and more. It is also finished with either gold or silver-toned hardware—offering a personalized take on everyday luxury.
The Rodeo bag has already found its way into the wardrobe of style icons:
