Horsebit 1955

Name: Gucci Horsebit 1955 Small
Brand: Gucci

Catalogued June 2026

The Gucci Horsebit 1955 is a shoulder and top-handle bag reintroduced by Alessandro Michele in 2020, reviving a style the house first made in 1955. Its defining feature is the horsebit, the metal snaffle-and-ring hardware drawn from Gucci's equestrian heritage, set on a clean structured flap. It appears in smooth leather and GG Supreme canvas, often accented with the green-red Web. The design revisits one of Gucci's oldest hardware signatures for a modern audience.

The Story

Built around the bridle hardware Gucci borrowed from the stable in the 1950s.

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.

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.
