Gucci Horsebit 1955 Small: anyone has it? Compared to others?

[Love_N_Lune]

Hello!

I am looking for a black leather handbag with gold chain shoulder strap (a la Chanel but not Chanel). It’s intended use is for both casual and formal.

I found options across Gucci, Saint Laurent, and Louis Vuitton. The three handbags in the running are below but I found no information on this Gucci 1955 bag and limited talk about the newer wave LV bag (I found plenty on YSL envelope). Please share your experience if you have or looked at these bags. Opinions and other options also welcomed.

That 1955 is basically more substantial WOC rather than a bag IMO

This is a great point and not a view I considered.

I was thinking the same. It's more of a Wallet on a Chain instead of a bag. I have the 1955 Horsebit shoulder bag with the red, leather trim which is a substantial handbag. Now, Gucci has the same 1955 Horsebit handbag (like mine), but in a mini size which comes with two crossbody shoulder straps.
