The Iconic Gucci Horsebit 1955 Mini Bag

This exquisite Horsebit 1955 Mini Bag from Gucci’s Spring-Summer 2023 collection revives the iconic horsebit detail first introduced in the 1950s. Crafted from ivory white leather, the bag features a refined trapezoidal silhouette with a structured arched handle, exuding timeless elegance.

The Signature Horsebit Detail

First introduced in Gucci’s Cruise 2020 collection, the Horsebit 1955 series takes its name from the iconic metal horsebit closure that adorns each piece. This distinctive hardware pays homage to Gucci’s equestrian heritage.

The horsebit motif first appeared in 1953 on a pair of Gucci loafers, inspired by equestrian bridle and stirrup designs. The signature hardware features a gold-toned metal chain with distinctive D-shaped rings on either side.

Versatile Carrying Options

The mini bag comes with two interchangeable straps – a metallic chain strap with lobster clasp closure and an ivory leather strap with adjustable gold-tone hardware.

Practical Interior

Despite its compact 22×16×10.5 cm dimensions, the bag offers surprising capacity with its dual compartments and interior leather slip pocket featuring the brand’s gold-stamped logo.
