Delivery & Returns
Q: What typically fits inside this Gucci Horsebit Patent Bag? A: This is a compact shoulder bag with approximate measurements of 26 x 14 x 6 cm. It is best suited to daily essentials such as a mobile phone, cardholder, keys, sunglasses and a few small cosmetics. Bulkier items such as a tablet, larger purse or water bottle are unlikely to fit comfortably, so we recommend checking the measurements on this page before purchasing.
Q: Can this bag be worn on the shoulder? A: Yes. This style features a single flat shoulder strap and is designed to sit neatly on the shoulder. The handle drop is approximately 15 cm, so it works best as a close shoulder bag rather than a long drop or crossbody style.
Q: What material is this bag made from? A: According to the product data, this bag is crafted from brown patent leather with silver-tone hardware. The interior is lined in black leather, giving it a polished vintage look inside and out.
Q: Does the bag have any internal pockets or closures? A: Yes. The bag has a flap closure and one internal zipped pocket, which is useful for keeping smaller valuables organised and easy to find.
Q: What condition is this vintage bag in? A: This piece is listed in very good condition. The exterior shows light traces of use, the interior has scratches, and the hardware remains shiny with light surface scratches. As with most vintage patent leather bags, gentle age-related wear is normal and part of the character of the piece.
Q: What is included with the bag? A: A dust bag is included. Everything that comes with the item is listed in the product information, so if another item is not mentioned there, it should not be assumed to be included.
Q: How should I care for vintage patent leather? A: Patent leather is best cared for gently. Wipe the surface with a soft, dry cloth after use and avoid harsh cleaners, protective sprays, rough surfaces, direct sunlight, heat, humidity and rain. For storage, keep the bag in its dust bag, avoid placing heavy items on top, and store it lightly stuffed to help maintain its shape.
Q: Can patent leather become sticky over time? A: It can. With older patent leather, tackiness may develop if the finish has been exposed to heat, humidity or long-term material ageing. Storing the bag in a cool, dry place and avoiding unsuitable cleaning products will help protect the finish.
Q: Where was this bag made? A: According to the product data, this Gucci bag was made in Italy.
Q: Why is the Horsebit detail so iconic? A: The Horsebit is one of Gucci's best-known house codes, inspired by the brand's equestrian heritage. It has been part of Gucci's visual identity since the mid-20th century, which is why vintage Horsebit bags remain timeless and highly recognisable today.
