New Gucci 1955 Horsebit Bag

[Ashpera786]

Nordstrom just had them on the website but delivery date is 05 / 2020? They want you to place preorder and will get it in like 6 months? Does anyone have experience with Nordstrom preorder? Do you think they might have it sooner than that. I like to get it from them since I have some credit I can apply.

initially I thought it was little boring but what I like about it is ; it’s a easy bag you can wear crossbody or shoulder. I like the all leather brown sugar version and blue with suede web is pretty nice too .

I was actually considering placing the order through Nordstrom today and then saw that. They usually end up sending it out sooner than that but it does take a lot longer than ordering direct from Gucci. The other department stores have a similar ship date which is so strange!

May of next year is a long wait for me . I’m not sure I’m that hot for this bag. I mean I think most I can wait Is 2 months
I’m not sure if I should place an order through them and see what happens in a month?
I think they’re trying to create high demand on this bag . Maybe they instructed department stores to release it slowly . It’s available on Gucci website for immediate delivery. It doesn’t make any sense at all .
I also have my eye on givenchy gv3 in medium . I might just do that.

Really digging this bag- especially since I saw the previous post with the tattooed girl.
I'm super casual: jeans/workout pants, tee and sneakers everyday- work from home /Mom uniform.
As far as Gucci goes I have the black Coco Capitan waist bag, Ghost small crossbody, Small Rajah shoulder bag and GG strawberry wristlet- an eclectic mix lol.

Which version do you think would be the most versatile for me? I'm drawn to the monogram but also worried I have too many monogram items (screener sneakers, belts, etc.) that I would get more use from a solid color. Please share your thoughts!

I think monogram is for somebody who wears jeans and casual outfits and you just throw that on or other version will be wearing this tonal outfits which browns , beige tones, camel coats.
Sounds like you can totally pull off this look. Also it’s instantly recognizable because of the logos . Since they kept the logo very minimal ; I think having logos kinda brings that brand power. I love the web one with navy too because that also says “ hey I’m Gucci “ only concern will be having suede and it just wears more difficult.


the other ones are little more subtle ; I mean it will be recognized and also quality bag but also can be something else . Horsebit is not exclusive to Gucci. Just like horsebit loafers ; there is so many knock offs now that I cannot tell them apart from the real deal. It’s very hard to have Gucci logo bag or stripe version . I think your going to get one get the logo or web version .

I am also a mom and cross body bags have been essential for me . Something you can just throw on easily and complete outfit . Still have hands free is great . I just recently got Zumi shoulder bag and rajah small shoulder bag too . Both in burgundy lol I know it sounds insane but I’m just attracted to that color lately but that’s enough for me . Which color rajah do you have ? That bag I’ve been really shying away from. It’s little too over the top sometimes.

Thanks for the thorough response! I agree with a lot of what you said and you're right I will probably go with one that is a bit more Gucci than the solid leather.

I have the Rajah in the mini gg monogram, I like it but haven't worn it yet. It was more impulse than anything!

I am between two colors . Either brown sugar all leather or blue one with web. I would say blue one looks amazing but I’m scared of suede looking dull in real life. I haven’t seen any pictures of it besides Gucci website . Which color should I go for ?

I like the navy with the web. Is it suede, I think it appears more like velvet?

When I look at the photos that’s what I taught also but description says it’s suede . I am not sure how it will look in real life

 

[Ashpera786]

Correction ; microfiber lining - suede like finish ?
I’m not sure it will look old fast. All leather when it wears develops a character but I’m little scared of the web. Which one should I go for ?

Typically, with new releases, Gucci prioritizes their own website/stores for a few months, before it comes to other retailers. I have pre-ordered a Gucci bag through Nordstrom, just to get the Nordstrom 10 point bonus that was running (that was a nice Nordy reward!). If I'm remembering correctly, there was a wait of about 90 days from order date......so I waited, but not nearly as long as the date on the Nordstrom website.

I really would like a Supreme Canvas version with black leather trim in the 1955 bag! It's a gorgeous shape.

I have the same dilemma Love the brown bag but had been on the lookout for a navy bag. Would love it in navy but without the web.

You're too kind

What can I say excepttthat I LOVE it.

Shame I've bought 2 Hermès bags already this year and am just about to indulge in another, even that may not stop me, this 55 is totally up my ally.

The original from 1955 was all-leather and we saw a variation of the same 1955 design n SS'15 with the Lady Web in suede or leather. This newer remodel is closer to the original shape. The sigprint is from approx 10 years later (mid 1960s). I have a feeling this shape/sig-print/tan leather trim combo has been issued before too. But that's all great because it must have been a popular and well loved bag design and sold well each time.

10 reasons it's top of my list.

1. It's a classic classic
2. Just the right amount of Gucci-ness after years of OTT/irony
3. It can be worn by and at any age, making it a great longterm investment
4. Tan and ebony/beige canvas will look great almost all year round.
5. It has a Horse-bit
6. It already looks vintage
7. It's not madly expensive in comparison to other designer bags
8. Easy shoulder bag size.
9. Great leather and hardware

I was planning on getting either brown or blue or be with web . Which one do you think will be the best option?
Also I have my eye on Gucci padlock with bamboo handle in canvas print so I was thinking of saving my print love for that one .
Also what do you think of that new padlock bamboo handle bag? Do you think the older ones are better ?
I would love your opinion since you are named as the Gucci expert thank you so much

Hi @Ashpera786

I saw the brown and navy/webstripe last week and they are both stunning.

The brown is a wonderful nutmeg colour, neither reddy nor flat. And the navy is wonderful, slightly more Guccified because of the webstripe. I would have trouble choosing too.

I am possibly waiting for the 2020 python version but otherwise I would have personally had a hard time choosing between the same CWs. I was leaning towards the navy until I saw the brown IRL.

The mono-print is Ltd Ed in my neck of the woods but actually I preferred the all-leather versions on me.

I'm still not a fan of the faux suede interiors, to my mind and for the money they should be real suede.

I just ordered a Gucci wallet from Nordstrom that said backordered till May 2020. Not pre but back. It shipped within the week. I was in a boutique today and they said it was current season item. So not sure If that helps much but does show their estimated dates can be wildly off.
