New Gucci 1955 Horsebit Bag

[Ashpera786]

I’ve been thinking about this bag nonstop but I’m still so torn on which version to get.

im torn apart too . Yesterday I was convinced Gucci Dionysus with blue crystals was awsome but today I’m back to horsebit obsession. I think it would help a lot if I saw horsebit in person . It’s very hard to have a feeling how the bag would look on you by just photos. I’m going to call my local Gucci today to see if they have it in the store.

To be honest, I would do the 1955 over the Dionysus. I really like the Dionysus but feel the horsebit is a more versatile bag and the Dionysus has been out a long time.

Is the brown still your top pick? I will do monogram, love the navy web but I don’t want to worry about scratches, wear on the stripe etc. I wish I was someone who didn’t care about that but I do!

If you go in store, please post pics! I’m enjoying your commentary it’s helpful to talk it out. I’ve made way too many impulsive purchases and I’m working on being more selective instead of buying selling etc.

I enjoy discussing this with you too . Not many people I can discuss my obsession with bags . It’s nice to talk this out. I also made some impulse buys and I like to buy so I can wear pieces long term.
I love horsebit because it’s kinda bag you can take into grocery store and not feel awkward . Other Gucci styles are little over the top for running errands and being out and about. I still like to dress nice when I’m out in a regular day.
I had a very loved Chloe Tess in nut color and that was my day bag but after only few months hardware changed color. It was a great bag .
Chloe has really bad quality ; I can’t think of any Gucci bags changing hardware in color. That’s why I love the brand. It could last for a really long time and be such a easy bag with so much style .
What I don’t like it’s that if you are not getting canvas one; the horsebit alone doesnt say Gucci . Even Dionysus back side has embossed Gucci writing . Dionysus logo is instantly recognized . Being around Long time means established.

i just need to see horsebit in person which I intend to do soon . I would only know when I get my hand on it and wear it crossbody . I will definitely post some photos for you

So, my Gucci store is closed for reforms which I knew about but I thought they would be over by now... Hence I was not able to check the 1955 (in the brown sugar) in person.
As it happens, the new Celine (without an é) store has just opened in town, just opposite to Gucci. So having nowhere to go I had to check it out, and a tan natural leather Classic waved to me from the sparkly white marble shelves. I know it is quite a different bag (and a different price) but let's say that my need for a caramel+gold hw boxy shoulder bag is now covered.

I also saw the new Saint Laurent Carré (with an é) which is comparable to but even a tad cheaper than the 1955 but still manages to have a real suede interior.
Quite pissed off with Gucci at the moment, as their website have lost a shipment and they seem utterly unable to solve the issue...

In the Gucci lexicon of Guccifixation stll very subtle.

Love this!

no not at all . I was watching the Gucci runway show really quick and 2020 horsebit pointy toes with opaque tights were on most models . I think 2020 is going to be all about Gucci horsebit ; the bags , belts , loafers . If you feel comfortable with it , definitely checks the chic part.
Also logo is very subtle you can wear multiple pieces without looking cheesy
...
Phone part is a good point too , always useful to have back part but that works best for bags that stand on table or handheld like Gucci Dionysus in medium. than you stick your phone in back slot without opening the front .
I think horsebit is exclusively crossbody and shoulder bag. It’s very hard to stick something in the back while wearing it. Best part is opening mechanism is very easy. You pull up and it’s open ; first slot looks like it will accommodate any size phone .
Let me know if you spot new Gucci padlock with bamboo handle in the store ! Lol

Thanks! Good point about the opening. For the back pocket, the Constance for example manages it and it is so practical!
That said, I just got the Celine classic which also does not have a back pocket (why on earth not?) and is not the most practical bag in the world...

The blue is beautiful, but I would go with the brown because I find it easier and more versatile. It is also more subtle. I think it is a bag you could wear with almost anything to almost anywhere, whereas the blue is more complicated.

Well the Celine Box (accent or not) is fabulous so many congratulations.

I will check out the YSL, thanks for the thought.

Gucci's online CS is often appalling. However, they did once get a pair of boots to me after having to locate me in an amazingly remote part of the world in time for Christmas. I always just keep emailing them even if there's no answer. Someone is reading it. The best of luck with solving the issue, I hope they can resolve the matter.

omg such a great choice . I’ve been stalking Celine classic bag for a while now. Such a classic choice . congratulations)). I was also wondering the carre bag . Do you like it in person ?

I already ordered Gucci Dionysus and I still need a beige my everyday bag. I’m either going to wait for horsebit or two bag options; my old bag is on stock which is Chloe Tess bag or givenchy gv3 in medium ?

To be quite honest horsebit still on my mind heavily but shipping is too long and I don’t like waiting for a bag that long.

If you order from Gucci’s website the bag is available immediately.

Thanks! very happy with the Celine specially as it is in the beautiful natural leather, can't wait for it to get patina.
The YSL Carré, I found it a bit meh. Nothing wrong with it, it is a perfectly nice bag, very basic, but it didn't wow me. The 1955 has more personality. BUT it has a nice suede interior!

I don't think the brown leather will show scratches as it's made from stamped leather

The horse bit alone does say GUCCI IMO. Not as in ya face as the mono print but it easily says Gucci
