I like the navy. But I’m partial to Navy Blue. I love Navy Blue with Silver hardware. Most bags have gold hardware. But I would return it especially since you were expecting it to be black.

Bought the Horsebit in black leather and the burgundy canvas. Unfortunately, the burgundy canvas didn't come stuffed so it came dented. I think it may have been someone's return because the strap was already attached too. Honestly not a fan of the feel of the canvas, but the burgundy is such a beautiful color. I wish they would do an all leather version of it and the Navy.

The black is gorgeous. I love the smell of leather that slapped me across the face when I opened it. It came stuffed and I inspected it and didn't see any flaws. She's definitely a keeper. I'm thinking about getting the white one now.

.. do you have a pic with items inside? i'm eyeing the beige and white in this bag.. i'm curious how much fits in this bag.Hi!
So I made my first Gucci purchase this past weekend. I went into the store hoping to buy either the Dionysus but came back home with the Mini Horsebit in canvas with brown trim. The SA sold me on the fact that I don’t have to baby the bag and that this version is a classic.
However, now that I’m thinking about the Beige Leather. I saw it in the shop but didn’t try it on and now I’m wondering if I picked the wrong one. I want something I can wear easily and that will remain classic for years to come. This is my first monogram handbag and I don’t have a beige bag either, I’m just starting to bulk my collection. What are your thoughts?

Both are very classic. It will obviously also depend on your wardrobe.

NO unfortunately I didn't think to take pictures of it stuffed. I know the main compartment was able to hold my phone (iPhone 13 Pro) and a small make up bag - inside the makeup bag had a small mirror, oil blotting sheets, lip gloss and lip stick, travel feminine wipes, travel sized hand sanitizer, a pad, pantyliner, and travel size hand lotion.
I hope so!...but it seems they have been doing more colors with the monogram rather than seasonal leathers on the horse bit. I'm going to keep my fingers crossed though!
the price has gone up.. ssense has 1 left for the mini 10% cheaper than the new price in my home country..
is there any voucher code that can bring the price down more?

So it is the trim definitely black OR navy (I know they call the canvas blue.beige - like the call the brown ebony beige)?

Gorgeous! The photos read like a true brownish burgundy, and I'm wondering if that's the actual color? Or is it a true burgundy?
It's ALMOST certainly blue - midnight blue. But not definitely.
This issue has occupied more of my time than it should have but I like solving mysteries.
The Matches SA was working remotely and examining photos that were sent to him from the warehouse. He sent the same photos to me and it looks like very dark blue. So I asked the SA I was corresponding with if a Matches SA who had the actual bag in hand could confirm colour and was politely advised that I should buy it and see for myself as free shipping and free returns.
There's still no trim colour mentioned in the Matches details. I put it in my shopping bag at Matches and it was described as Beige.
I also haven't been able to find a black leather trim with beige canvas at any store online. Maybe in Europe or Asia, haven't checked all possibilities there yet. Intriguingly Gucci Australia told me that a black leather/beige canvas 1955 bag does exist but they haven't seen it either in real life or images of it and don't know where it is. It remains a mystery bag!
So if anyone has seen a black leather /beige canvas 1955 bag they should report to this thread ASAP, with good photos !!!
Here are the other images the Matches SA sent through. See what you think :
traditionally the blue and beige canvas was always with navy. Under AM, who knows
. If I go in to Gucci soon I’ll have a look too. My guess is they made it black leather, because Gucci have the colour recipe for blue. It would actually just be weird (or weirder) to do a darker blue. As you know black is just the darkest shade of anything, so I wonder if looking at the blue around it makes it look more blue.

Hi there ! I am looking into the black leather version. Does your phone fit in the front pocket ? How does the weight feel in comparison to the canvas version? TIASo I made my first Gucci purchase!
