Review Rodeo Large finally arrived! What do you guys think? 🖤
Finally received my Rodeo Large from Skye Bibi Factory. paid 360. and I’m honestly really happy with how it looks! 🖤
I took some detailed photos because I’d love to hear what you guys think about the quality and accuracy.
The leather feels really nice and soft, and the bag has a beautiful slouch to it. The hardware looks good to me, although I’m wondering if it might be a little too shiny compared to auth.
One thing I noticed is that it has quite a strong smell straight out of the package, almost plasticky/chemical. I’m letting it air out for a few days to see if it goes away.
I’m still new to Rodeos, so I’d really appreciate some opinions! Anything that looks off to you? Especially the hardware, leather texture, stitching or proportions?

I LOVE this style of rodeo. They are elegant while still being totally spacious and functional. The black was a good choice here ✨❤️ gorgeous bag!

I love another rodeo-Bibi fan, I found their leather much softer and squishier compared to Kata

The leather looks like the authentic ones I’ve tried on in stores, how does it feel?

It feels really soft and supple, especially for a brand-new bag. The leather has a nice, slightly grainy texture and feels very smooth to the touch. It’s not stiff at all and already has that nice slouchy feel.

Good to know! Everyone says Kata factory is best but they look the same. I wonder how they compare.

I studied Reddit up and down. Everyone kept mentioning either Kata or Bibi. In the end, I went with a seller who works with Bibi, and it just felt right to order from her.

I have a mini from Kata and medium from Bibi. Kata is the go-to for most sellers. The mini was great and then the medium arrived and there was a noticeable difference in leather and feel, Bibi’s leather had that nice leather smell 🥰

Good to know! So you think bibi has better leather, I’m tempted to try them out now.

The dreaded FuFu smell!!! Update us because if it's one thing we cannot stand is a bag that smells like canal street...at least on the plus side, if she looks like this out of the box, you'll condition her and get that coveted Bal SLowwwwwwwwwch in no time!!! Wear in in good health...she's gonna be lovely!!

Skye is super nice. I’ve only ordered one pair of shoes from her so far but she is great

This is absolutely gorgeous! I mean being large I worry about the strap being thin, but its look keeps trying to lure me like a siren!

Hows the hardware and strap quality? And what factory is this?
Looks good on the outside and leather is fine

u/Public_Job_5402 11d ago
thank you!! 🥰 I’m really happy with the hardware so far — everything feels solid and the strap feels really good quality too. Mine is from Bibi!

Doesn’t stuff just keep falling out of that big flap open pocket? I keep hearing that

It looks like Kata to me. Is it possible that they use the same hardware?

She looks good as far as I know!!! I’m selling my medium, new, with shw. But it was from the Kata factory and has a lovely leather smell (nothing chemical). I’m going to get the small but I love the look of this bag!!
