Balenciaga’s Rodeo bag has quickly become a coveted accessory, and for good reason. Its sleek design, buttery soft calfskin and versatile functionality make it a standout piece in any bag aficionado’s collection. The Rodeo initially debuted in three sizes, each with an elongated leather top handle. But Balenciaga continues to update the line with variants, such as the all-new Rodeo Shoulder Bag.
Measuring 32 cm wide and 22 cm high, this style comes without a top handle. Instead, you can wear it either across the body or over the shoulder via the accompanying shoulder strap. Subtle tweaks include the reworked east-west format with a shallower body that keeps its contents easily within view.
Although the one-style-fits-all bag is a myth, the Rodeo Shoulder Bag does cater to differing needs and preferences. Each bag opens to a main compartment with an inner zip slot, while two additional flat pockets at the back keep things neat and organised. The shoulder strap is also adjustable and removable, allowing you to use the bag as an oversized clutch.
If you’re looking for a versatile bag that transitions easily from day to night, the Rodeo Shoulder Bag will do the trick. Find it at Balenciaga boutiques in Marina Bay Sands, Paragon and online, retailing at SGD4550.
