Debuting in the Spring Summer 2020 collection, the Gucci 1955 Horsebit Top Handle Bag introduces a refined silhouette to the iconic Horsebit Bags line. Elegantly crafted from black leather, this bag showcases a domed shape paired with an optional leather shoulder strap, seamlessly blending vintage elements with a contemporary aesthetic.
Drawing inspiration from original designs debuted over six decades ago, the bag celebrates Gucci’s equestrian heritage through the signature Horsebit detail—a double ring and bar motif that remains one of the House’s most distinctive symbols. The gold-toned hardware beautifully contrasts with the sleek black leather, enhancing its timeless appeal.
Designed for versatile wear, the bag features leather top handles with a 3.5″ drop and a detachable, adjustable shoulder strap that offers a 19.7″ drop, allowing it to be worn crossbody or over the shoulder. The extended double zipper closure ensures secure storage, while the protective metal feet maintain the bag’s structure and elegance.
