This vintage Gucci Horsebit Leather Bag in black leather with gold-tone hardware is presented in very good condition. With dual top handles and a timeless design, it is an elegant choice for city days, lunch meetings or smart weekend outings, bringing classic Gucci style to everyday wear.
Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: What typically fits inside this Gucci Horsebit Leather Bag? A: With approximate dimensions of 33 x 23 x 15 cm, it is best suited to daily essentials such as a phone, long wallet, keys, sunglasses case, small cosmetics pouch and a compact tablet or paperback. It may also fit a small water bottle or compact umbrella depending on how you organise it, but it is not the best choice for a laptop or bulky A4 work files.
Q: Can this bag be carried on the shoulder? A: This piece has dual top handles with an approximate handle drop of 10 cm and no shoulder strap is included. For most people, that means it is designed mainly for hand carry or to sit in the crook of the arm rather than comfortably on the shoulder.
Q: Is the bag secure for everyday use? A: The bag has an open top, so it offers quick access rather than full zip security. That makes it practical for daily use, but we recommend keeping smaller valuables in the internal pockets or in a pouch for extra organisation.
Q: What condition is this vintage bag in? A: The overall condition is rated Very Good. The exterior shows light traces of use, including slightly scuffed corners and some scratches around the bag. The interior is also in Very Good condition with light signs of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light surface scratches.
Q: Are any extra items included with this bag? A: No additional items are included with this piece. There is no shoulder strap listed in the product information, and it is sold as the bag only.
Q: How should I care for the leather and hardware? A: Gently wipe the bag with a soft, dry cloth after use and keep it away from direct sunlight, heat, humidity, rain and rough surfaces. If it gets wet, dry it promptly with a soft cloth, then store it loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag if you have one to help maintain its shape. Avoid harsh cleaners, protective sprays and overfilling, as these can affect vintage leather and hardware over time.
Q: What makes a Gucci Horsebit bag so recognisable? A: The Horsebit detail is one of Gucci’s best-known house signatures, inspired by equestrian hardware. It gives the bag a classic, archival look that works especially well in black leather with gold-tone hardware.
Q: Is this a good everyday bag? A: Yes, if you want a smart vintage day bag with enough room for essentials and a polished look. Its open-top design and structured leather body make it easy to use, while the black colour and classic Horsebit detailing make it versatile for both daytime and more dressed-up wear.
Q: How do you authenticate Gucci bags? A: At A Retro Tale, each item is checked by specialists who assess materials, construction, hardware, stamps and other brand-specific details before it is listed. We only sell items we believe to be authentic, and the exact condition and product information for this bag are shown on the product page.
