Odd question but does anyone else's 1955 have squeaky straps? Mine squeaks constantly at the strap loop where it connects with the metal but not sure what I can do to reduce this.

I haven't noticed any squeaking from my straps yet, but I've only worn it out 3 times so far.
I have, however, experienced the dreaded hair-pulling-out that several people have mentioned. I thought I'd be safe from it because my hair sits just above shoulder length, but nope! So far it's only happened when I've worn it crossbody though, so from now on I plan to wear my hair up if I need to wear the bag crossbody to hopefully avoid this problem in the future.
I wonder if removing the buttons will prevent this from happening? I shall try this out when I wear the bag again.
As for the squeaky straps, I have not experienced this yet.
My blue bag has the squeaky sound like your describing. I have the brown monogram which does not squeak. I’m not sure what can be done about it. I did contemplate on exchanging it but it was not easy to find at that time. I also picked between the stock they had at the store.
At some point, I decided to just ignore it. I still love the bag enough for it not to be a problem. It’s not as noticeable when I’m out presumably because the environment I‘m in drowns out the squeak. I’m hoping that it will go away eventually.
Hello! I am looking for advice as I am considering the camera style crossbody bag in either the canvas or the white leather.
I want to use it for casual summer outings (think: sporting events, wearing casual shorts and a tee)
BUT I'm wondering how durable the canvas is. I have never owned a Gucci canvas bag nor have I tried one on in store, so I'm wondering how durable it is on the scale of Chanel Deauville woven tote (not very durable) --> LV canvas (could be run over with a truck and look the same). I like the white leather version as well and feel like there is a bit more versatility with that one, but it's maybe not as casual as I'm hoping for.
What do you all think? Are either of these great options for a durable, casual, versatile, and timeless (could I wear this style in 10 years for the same purpose?) summer bag?
Thanks for your advice!

Help! Just got the mini 1955 horsebit bag bc I loved the guitar strap but now thinking maybe the mini ophidia round bag might be the better option? Mommy with toddlers in her 30’s and wanting a fresh and cute daily bag for my basic mom clothes….which would you pick?
Do you have any mod shots? It depends on your height, frame…
I think that due to its shape the mini horsebit might fit more though? What do you usually carry with you?

5’5 and slender frame. Too late to return now as it’s been over 14 days but I do like it a lot and I do think the mini size is not too small and is just right. Just didn’t realize how much pricier it is compared to other bags. I’m also thinking of the Dionysus WOC in the same pattern but maybe they are too similar in that they are both monogrammed cross bodies…
Looking to buy the Small in brown sugar/mono over 4th of July weekend. Just curious if anyone has any regrets after a few months (or longer) of owning it? Do you still reach for it?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks in advance.
I use it frequently (it's the only everyday bag I own) and the only thing I regret about it is that my long hair gets stuck to the buttons on the strap. It's a common issue for people who use this bag. It's not an issue when I wear a ponytail. I might also try wearing it without the buttons to see if that will solve the hair issue.
Also, watch out for a popped stitches in the area highlgihted below in red. Mine came with a popped stitch from SSENSE.
Thank you for the heads up! I will be sure to look carefully. May I ask what you wear when you carry her? I am a very casual person so I am worried I won't be able to pull her off.
You're welcome!
I have the black one and I wear it with a graphic tee tucked in straight leg jeans, and Converse sneakers. I think wearing it crossbody definitely adds a casual vibe!Had it for a couple of months in leather (bubble tea, I believe is the name of the color), no regrets at all, great size for everyday use and looks good for evening going out as well ( I wear it on my shoulder).
What I like about it is that isn't very recognisable also, and looks elegant and fresh.
I totally recommend!
The hair pulling struggle is real though!
You're welcome!
Sounds so Parisien! Love it!
It's a gorgeous bag, and I am enjoying carrying it.
However, the one thing to be really aware of -- and I know this has already been mentioned on other threads by several posters -- is that the inside is quite small, and it honestly doesn't carry very much (well, not as much as I'd like it to). Specifically for me, I wear glasses and frequently have to switch to sunglasses when I'm out and about, so I bring my Ray-Bans in their case and put my eyeglasses in it when I switch to the sunglasses. I also have Chanel and Tom Ford sunglasses, but neither of them will fit in this handbag when they're in their cases. At any rate, once that smallish Ray-Ban case is in there, there isn't room for much else. All I carry other than the sunglass case is a Tory Burch card case and my keys (all in the main compartment), my cell phone (front pocket), and a tiny pocket calendar and a mechanical pencil (back pocket), and that's really just about all that will fit. When I need a little extra room for something, I take my sunglasses out of their case and put them in a soft fabric case instead...which does free up some space, but I'd rather not do that. I am used to also carrying pressed powder, blotting papers, and a lipstick with me, but until I find some kind of small key pouch that can replace the card case and hold my cards/keys/lipstick (and the Gucci one that was talked about here on TPF is sold out everywhere), I will have to leave those things at home (the powder and lipstick aren't things I'd want to just be loose in my bag). So that was a really long winded way of saying it doesn't hold much, lol! As long as you're ok with that, it's fine.
Re: the hair pulling, my hair is collarbone length, and I've only had the snaps rip my hair out the one time I wore it crossbody (which I don't do often, and will plan to wear my hair up the next time!).
I hope that helps! If I had to do it all over again I probably would still buy it, because it's beautiful and I get compliments on it every time I carry it...I just wish it was a bit roomier.
Hope that helps!
