Debuting in the Spring Summer 2020 collection, the Gucci 1955 Horsebit Top Handle Bag introduces a sophisticated silhouette to the iconic Horsebit line. This version showcases a domed shape crafted from Beige/ebony GG Supreme canvas—a material with low environmental impact—combined with luxurious brown leather trims, capturing the timeless elegance of Gucci’s signature design.
Inspired by archival designs from over six decades ago, this bag seamlessly merges vintage elements with contemporary flair, highlighting the Horsebit detail—a double ring and bar motif that stands as one of Gucci’s most iconic symbols, rooted in its equestrian heritage. The gold-toned hardware adds a touch of opulence, perfectly complementing the canvas and leather composition.
Designed for versatility and functionality, the bag features leather top handles with a 3.5″ drop and an optional detachable leather shoulder strap with a 19.7″ drop, allowing it to be worn over the shoulder or crossbody for a stylish yet practical look. The extended double zipper closure provides security and ease of access, while protective metal feet ensure durability and maintain the bag’s pristine silhouette.
