Origin
Named for a year in the saddle
The Horsebit 1955 takes its name from the mid-1950s, when Gucci first used the horsebit on its bags. Alessandro Michele brought the motif back as the Horsebit 1955 line in 2020.

The Story
Built around the bridle hardware Gucci borrowed from the stable in the 1950s.
Design
A bit from a bridle
The signature clasp is the horsebit itself: a double ring joined by a bar, lifted straight from horse bridles. It nods to Gucci's equestrian roots and its early days outfitting riders.
