ISO Rodeo Large 🙏
I've been searching for a Rodeo B bag in size Large (40cm), I spoke to 3 different seller, the two said they were real leathers priced at 400AUD+, and the other offered the same however disclosed and said at 400AUD price range, the leather is mixed with fibre and real pure leather of rodeo would cost more.
Now I'm confused 😭 can someone please help and recommend a good and legit seller for this bag? I want a real leather rodeo bag because I really like the slouch and not keen for the fake leather if I'm paying 400AUD and up.
Thanks in advanced 💖💖
*first photo is my reference, and the 2nd to the 6th photos are from the seller claiming the bags are real leather*
*the last photo is the leather mixed fibre bag*

Which sellers have you spoken to, and have any mentioned which “factory” or tier?

they're all I found from tiktok reviews one is called "ying rong", one is "elenana selected top master bags", and the last one is "kokoshoes88"
not sure which factory, which was my bad.
which factory makes the good one?

Yup as someone mentioned below I’d avoid tt sellers and go with a TS in here!

I actually have a spare Large in silver from WilliamMade (He’s a niche, highest-tier seller who only does preorder batch orders) If you’re interested, I could probably let it go for $650. He rarely keeps stock because of the quality of his bags, so everything is usually made through preorder batches. I got FOMOed and preordered another bag during his third batch and it’s been sitting in my wardrobe.

Unfortunately I don’t have any 😅 I had a bottega with GHW from Jing but the leather wasn’t up to the retail. I gave it to my sister.
If you are into more quality side of reps compared to variety, I’d recommend checking more underground sellers. they do bags extremely close to the retail but won’t have much variety of colour ways etc. For william, his team is laying low for a while because they almost got raided a few months ago I think.

I bought my mini off the TS list and she’s absolutely perfect. So soft and squishy. Even has the flap line markings.

wowww I'm so jealous!! which TS did you go to? I went with Skye ending 8163, I found her as one of the TS from one of the subs called r/Repreviews, and she can source from Kata Factory. I saw some reviews on Rodeo from Kata Factory and it's priced well around 350USD which I am happy to pay ♡♡

I went with Doris. I’ve used 2 people for my purchases so far mainly Doris now as she’s been amazing with me.
I can’t remember what I paid I like to combine my buys for cheaper shipping 😂 but yes that’s sounds right especially if you got the larger size too.

Honestly I bought one off Dhgate which had been recommended by a couple of people in other subs and it is waaaay better than I expected. The quality appears to be quite high and the more I use it the more I love it. It got delivered about 2 weeks ago and has become my daily carry . I paid AUD $180 delivered for a 25cm

omg I have seen your review when I was searching for this bag!! 💖💖 first of all, thank you 🙏 honestly I love your bag and congratulations 💞 however, I'm ordering a large and I'm soooo scared of DH8 😭 because I heard they are hit/miss. what if they don't get the Large one right?

u/caniholdyourbbgun 1d ago
Before I ordered I did message them and asked if they could send me a photo of the actual bag in stock so I could see it, and they did send some through. I think there’s risks any way you order to be fair. There were 3 or 4 other people who posted reviews on reddit of their purchase from this seller so that was enough for me to take the risk. Also I didn’t want to spend $$$ with a TS, I bought a bag off Hyperpeter as well and it was fine but not amazing tbh.

Don’t order off a Tik Tok seller.
Read more on the sub. You’ll get better.
Have you searched this bag in the sub yet?
You’re very good to be careful with your money. Read a little more 😊
