Hi All, I am thinking of getting the mini horsebit in full black leather. For those who have had the bag for quite some time any advice/ review in terms of the durability of the leather? Does it get scratched easily?

for those asking about the camera bag
I have it for 3 months now and I am not in love
1. It is too narrow and such a mission to find your stuff
2. The opening is small too to not the easiest to get in and out of
3. The glazing started to peel already

I haven’t tried other camera bags but I believe that the softer leather, less structured ones are more practical

It's a very hardy leather. It looks like box leather from a distance, but it's actually a (very nice) stamped leather.

i really like the horsebit in denim but it only comes in mini size. please tell me, is it worth to get the mini size? or is it too small and denim is very trendy??

Denim is always popular, esp. for Summer

Only you can decide o the size (function/look). It would be too small for me as an only bag, but everyone's different.

New, Large versions of the original shoulder bag are set to come out for AW22/23.

Pics I screenshoted are on my other device. I'll post tomorrow or if someone has them please post, TY


Here we go (remember these are on men - so won't look as big proportionally). Thinking these have the alternative web-stripe canvas straps so very likely come with a leather strap too (the BTHs also have this for this season).

These are also on a tPF blog article (prob originally soured from a different source) better than my screen shots from freezing the vid though
 
Hi guys, I’m torn between the GG supreme canvas and the full black leather version of the horsebit! The canvas is so beautiful but I’m afraid I might find it “old” after a while. If anyone had similar concerns when deciding which color to get, could you share more with me on why you eventually opted for a certain color? Thanks a lot!

It is really about your style and the needs in your handbag collection. I’m more of a “if you know you know” bag person, so I’ve been eyeing the black leather (I already have the camera bag version in blue and in red). With that being said, I think Gucci’s monogram is classic and looks classy-vintage on the horsebit with the brown trim. It’s a beautiful bag either way. Which one are you most drawn to? Do you you already have a bag that will compete too much with one of them?

I have been determined to get the black shoulder bag since it came out, but I had never looked at it in person. I went to the store today to try it on. It felt quite heavy. Maybe too heavy. Then I tried on the mini. It is adorable and much more lightweight, but I’m not sure if it will be too small for everyday use. Also, do you think the mini will look dated versus the small/shoulder bag? Any thoughts would be helpful.

I see, thanks! I agree with the "iykyk" vibes of the black leather and I think that's what makes it feel so chic and effortless! I previously tried on the monogram in stores and I thought it was absolutely beautiful but on second thoughts I might not get as much use of it as the black version. I don't own any designer bags though, so this will be my first purchase!

I don't think the mini will look dated, and you have the alternative strap to change the style. Only you can decide if it's too small for your needs or not

I was torn between the plain canvas and the velvet Baiadera stripe. They were both a mix of classic and cool.

The velvet was £100 more and more delicate, but I chose it because it was so unusual and one of the most beautiful non-exotic bags I'd ever seen.

But I already have many Guccis, quite a few are black ghw, 6 feature are horse-bit, so I was looking for something different.

I could have easily bought both if money was no concern, and I still think the plain black is absolutely the classic of the classics.

Thank you for sharing! Just went to google the velvet Baiadera stripe and it's absolutely gorgeous!

Thinking of heading back to the boutique this week but I think I will end up with the black afterall since I know it'll be timeless and I'll love it forever!

I totally approve, have a look, think with your head and buy with your :heart:
 
For so long I went back and forth between the regular and mini. Then black or brown/canvas.

Finally decided on Tuesdafor the black in regular and I love it! Such a gorgeous bag and the leather on the black seems bulletproof without looking like Mikael Kors leather.
Happy to share mod shots and what fits once I’m properly dressed out of my At home outfit.

… might get the mini in future in brown/canvas….
