The Making of
the Gucci Horsebit 1955

As one of the House’s signature bags, the Gucci Horsebit 1955 bridges eras through the story it tells and the elegant strength of its design—a testament to the exceptional materials and craftsmanship, as well as the mythmaking that have always distinguished the House.

The Gucci Horsebit 1955 handbag progresses the narrative of a specific archival code – the double ring and bar that was presented in 1955, two years after the original hardware appeared in the House's collections on a pair of loafers, becoming an iconic Gucci symbol and furthering its link to the equestrian world. Today, the House’s craftsmen construct and stitch together the contemporary silhouette, finishing it with the emblematic detail that harnesses Gucci’s heritage.
