New Gucci 1955 Horsebit Bag

[VSUVUS]

Thanks! I went to France from the US to buy it to “save money” but ended up buying a small LV the same day that ate up the savings. I went from never having a designer bag to having two in the same day.

welcome to the club!

hate to break it to ya but once the luxury designer (bag) door opens you will never be able to close it lol

Does anyone know what the seasonal A/W colors will be for the horsebit bags? I bought that beautiful blue camera bag this summer and now I’m itching for a great Fall color.

Just saw this on Instagram. Not sure which collection it belongs to tho

And these….

Thanks, papertiger! I thought about it, and decided I'd go with the red leather now because it truly is stunning, as you say, and goes with more of my wardrobe. Doubtful they will ever discontinue the monogram print, so if I really have FOMO and get good use out of the bag, I can buy that one later.

Thanks again for everyone's input! It's supposed to arrive at the end of this week!!!

@LexAeterna and @papertiger gave you great advice.

I appreciate your struggle to choose which style to go with. I admired this bag for awhile and I couldn’t decide which specific one to get, black (already have black bags and a favourite black shoulder bag), white (beautiful, and not practical for my lifestyle and climate - working mom and long winter), navy (gorgeous), brown leather or red leather (already have a favourite raspberry red shoulder bag). When I went to the boutique I was choosing between brown (subtle, go with everything) and red (my favourite pop colour). I chose red and I am very happy.

I love the adjustable strap and the clean lines of this structured bag. It’s a beautiful shade of red that goes with a lot of my wardrobe. It fits what I carry on a daily basis, including sunglasses. I wore it to the hockey rink yesterday, it works for my lifestyle. I chose to release an older, colourful, slouchy shoulder bag from my handbag wardrobe, as I definitely love my Gucci Horsebit 1955 Shoulder Bag more than that bag (wardrobe edit, one in one out).
@newtobag2021 I hope you’re enjoying carrying your new bag.

If you want really mini!

Please don't ask if you can fit in a laptop

Thanks so much! I am in love with the red for all things, except it does pull my hair out in chunks. So far I have worn it to an outdoor wedding AND a on a grocery trip. It is the best bag ever. If it didn't pull my hair out when I extended the strap, I probably would have already gotten the original canvas too!

I am torn between the mini and the camera bag
Also black or canvas with brown trim
I am looking for an everyday bag

I finally pulled the trigger and got the small Horsebit 1955 in brown and I’m amazed how good it is! I didn’t have a chance to see it in person so I got it online, but it’s so much better than I expected. Beautiful craftsmanship and it’s so timeless. I was expecting it to be smaller based on reviews but the size and internal space are a positive surprise. Too bad I didn’t get it a few days ago as the price had jumped up again (or a year ago when I first laid my eyes on it…)

I love this bag so much. Hoping I can also add it to my collection. Enjoy!

welcome to the club!

…and yes, I, too, just noticed the price increase. For the all leather version it went from CAD $3500 to CAD $3695. Basic monogram went from CAD $3050 to CAD $3305…

Congratulations.

I so agree, I was amazed by how much I love using my 1955.

I panicked after the price increase (this bag didn’t actually go up in price) and had my SA track this down in red. She said there were only five left in the company.

just got the 1955 horse bit shoulder bag (with the flap) in brown - would the horsebit camera bag be too redundant (also in brown)???

Would you consider a different color or maybe the brown monogram? While they are different, I would be worried that they are similar enough that you would only find yourself reaching for one of them. Of course, with that being said, there are plenty of people who exclusively have black handbags and they don’t seem to find it to be redundant.

I am one of those folks I have so many black bags but they all look so different to me lol

The shoulder bag feels a little bit more dressy while the camera is obviously very casual. problem is, I also have a black YSL Lou camera bag.... DH thinks everything in my closet looks the same
