The Gucci Horsebit 1955 Bag is inspired by the equestrian hardware from 1953. The decorative design “double ring and bar” is called the “Horsebit”, which was first put on a handbag in 1955. From that year on, the Horsebit became one of the brand’s symbolic designs, representing the equestrian world. The Gucci Horsebit 1955 Bag is the modern version of the early design, which was reintroduced in 2019 as part of the Cruise 2020 Collection. There are some new features compared to the vintage version, but the archival detailing was revived, together with the boxy shape and the iconic Horsebit hardware.
