I am actually torn between Horsebit camera bag and YSL camera bagI am one of those folksI 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
Hi everyone - I’m thinking about pulling the trigger on a small black leather 1955 but am concerned it might overwhelm my 5ft frame. I have a pochette métis which I think looks fine on me but it the Gucci looks like it might stick out a lot more. Anyone have thoughts (or even better, pics)? Thanks in advance!
I'm 5.5' for ref. check out action pic https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/new-gucci-1955-horsebit-bag.1015559/page-19
My guess it will look fine on you. You have to try though because the shape of your body is as important as height.
Hi all! I’m strongly considering this bag in yellow (found via online consignment) but I cannot seem to find many photos of it. Does anyone happen to have the bag in yellow or photos from when it was in stock in stores that they can share? Thank you!!
Cant stop thinking about this Horsebit in Denim but too bad it only comes in the Mini size.
Anyone have this bag or the mini horsebit? Is it too small?

I am 5'0", approximately size 4/6, and think it's the perfect size for my frame. I haven't taken any photos with it yet (ugh, been so busy/distracted with my move this past summer and house renos), but I will say that my husband, who NEVER comments on my bags, absolutely adored this one on me when I tried it on in-store! He said he thought it looked absolutely perfect on me and pretty much insisted that I get it over the other ones I was considering (which included the Marmont small and the LV PM). His comment sold it for me, lol! I think it works well worn both on the shoulder and crossbody for someone of our height. HTH.
Thanks! I actually ended up purchasing one off eBay at a good discount and agree, it’s a good size!I am 5'0", approximately size 4/6, and think it's the perfect size for my frame.

It reminds me of Romy Schneider in a Claude Sautet film from the 70s… Chic, chic, chic.
Hi purseforumers! I’ve been a longtime lurker but just bought the small horsebit shoulder bag in black yesterday!
I had a closer look at it today and was really surprised to find that all of the gold buttons on the strap have faint scratches and one of the buttons already has a black tarnish mark. I looked at the spare buttons that are included and these have faint scratches as well. Is this just a quality issue with the buttons on these bags? There was also a mysterious white mark on the underside of the strap which I managed to remove with a soft cloth and water and some glue residue on the bigger gold hardware pieces, which luckily also came off with water.
Did the buttons of your bags also come with faint scratches when new?
I’m reluctant to return this one since I checked the other bags in the Gucci boutique and they also had some kind of mark on the leather - but am curious as to what other people’s experience has been!

I would ask if they have any back stock. My SA usually pulls a fresh one for me, if she has one. It was probably scratched up from people trying it on. Eventually, it might get scratched from your use (as any hardware might), but it shouldn't come that way.
This is unfortunately already pulled from back stock
My SA pulled three different ones from back stock and this one seemed to be the “best of the lot” in terms of having no scratches or marks etc on the leather, but I didn’t look closely at the hardware.I might ask her if any of the other back stock is in better condition.
I notice the buttons on the horsebit bag look quite old/used/stratched up even the spare ones that are included in the little pouch. I looked at a few of them in the boutique and they all looked like that.
Mine is fine but the velvet gets depression marks easily. I knew it would though so I can't really complain now.
