Named after the iconic Beverly Hills shopping district, also home to Balenciaga’s two L.A. flagships, the accessory is more than your average, day-to-day tote bag thanks to its one-of-a-kind construction.
Its tilted shape and front compartment — which is intentionally left open — give the accessory a laissez-faire aesthetic, while the pre-worn pleats, softened piping and raw edges call to mind a favourite item that’s been well-loved and worn every day for an extended period of time.
The discreet logos on the double lock closure system also hint at designer Demna Gvasalia’s newly dialled-down aesthetic, making the Rodeo the perfect accessory if you’ve decided to dip your toe in the quiet luxury trend.
Featured in Balenciaga’s Closet campaign — which sees ambassador Kim Kardashian pose in her own closet in front of her archive of signature Balenciaga bags — the Rodeo is available in three sizes and comes with gold or silver hardware, as well as an assortment of charms.
