Luxury fashion house Gucci presents a new iteration of the classic Horsebit Chain bag that takes on a statement approach. It retains some of the vintage style aesthetic and is now available to shop. It was first seen during Paris Fashion Week in January when unveiling the house's Fall/Winter 2023 range.
It is seen in a slew of new tones with recontextualized hardware that was first created by the house's founder Aldo Gucci back in 1953. The bag's new updates are defined by the additional detail of padded leather, shearling, and crystal. It is a big contrast in comparison to the traditional shape of the original which was only detailed with Gucci branding and a buckle accent.
