Not so much new for Summer, just late launching for Summer (it should have come out months ago with the others).

Was tearing my hair out deciding between this one and mine. Hope I made the right choice. I'd be be happy to have this one too ha ha

Does anyone have the 1955 Horsebit Leather Tote Bag? I would really like the brown for a daily work bag, but worries the size may be too small. They offer a large w chain strap, but not available in the luscious brown. Any idea what fits into the smaller size tote? View attachment 4814985View attachment 4814986

Not usually a chain person but in this case I think it makes the bag. The one with the chain is slightly more expensive and 3cm less wide. There is a brown canvas version available.

Anybody ventured out wearing theirs yet?

Would someone with the shoulder bag be willing to share a pic wearing it crossbody? I'm in love with it and am seriously considering it, but I'm wondering where it would hit me if I wore it crossbody. I'm 5'7" and it's looking like it might be on the short side. It certainly looks short on all the models, but they're like 20 feet tall. Thanks all!

Just for you, a quick snap in the garden

Top of the hip for me. If you're slimmer it could be a tad lower or more well endowed slightly higher. FYI I'm just over 5.5'

Trust me, you would not want this X-body any lower because of the depth (same reason why the drops short on the Hermes Constance if you know that bag). Having a deep bag at the widest part of the hip wouldn't work aesthetically or getting through doors

Thanks @papertiger! And those velvet stripes are GORGEOUS!!! It looks like this would sit right in the curve of my waist, which is a good spot for this style of bag. I tend to compare every bag I might wear crossbody to my Hermes Evelyne, which really hugs the body. But you're right--this wouldn't work on the hip.

Can't wait to order mine!

Can’t decide on whether to get the all leather black or white! I adore the look of the white but am concerned about colour transfer, as I would likely wear this casual over coats in the winter, with jeans etc. Is anyone with the white able to advise on wear and tear/colour transfer issues?

The good thing is it's stamped leather so white wouldn't be as bad as if it were a polished natural calf.

At some stage you will have to square the fact that white will not remain a pristine as black in the same time frame - but it still may be worth it.

Thank you! I went with the white

Eyeing this gorgeous bag! Specifically in the canvas/tan. Just wondering though about weight? Does this get heavy when packed with stuff?

Not in that version.

My velvet is slightly heavier, but not the sig or plain canvas versions.

Here's a preview shot

It looks lovely!

I haven't taken mine out (outside the garden that is) yet.

Are you able to carry things in both sections and still close the bag easily?

I need my phone/sunglasses (atm)/mask pouch/cardholder/lip balm/nail file/magnify glass/tape measure/work pass and silk scarf pouch.

Visiting Chicago this week for some family stuff but happened to make a detour to the Gucci store in celebration of our 1 year anniversary! It's not until next week but still! I've been lusting after this for a year now so I'm absolutely thrilled!

Excuse the poor lighting in our hotel room.
