From weekday commutes to weekend brunch, this vintage Gucci GG Horsebit hobo in beige GG canvas with brown leather trim adds effortless polish to casual and smart ensembles alike. A versatile medium size for day-to-day carry, it transitions seamlessly from office hours to evening plans, bringing timeless Gucci heritage to every look.
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 the medium Gucci GG Horsebit Hobo? A: With approximate measurements of 36 × 27 × 10 cm, it comfortably carries a long wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses case, small cosmetics pouch, a compact umbrella and a 500 ml bottle. Slim documents or an A4 folder can fit horizontally. A slim 13-inch laptop may slide in horizontally, but the hobo shape and curved zip can make it a snug fit—use a sleeve and avoid overfilling. Please refer to the Measurements on this page to compare with your items.
Q: Can it be worn on the shoulder and is the strap adjustable? A: Yes, it’s designed for shoulder and under‑arm carry. The single flat strap has an approximate 20 cm drop and is not adjustable. This style is not intended to be worn crossbody.
Q: Is the GG canvas hard‑wearing or water‑resistant? A: Gucci’s coated canvas is known for durability and easy, gentle wipe‑clean care. It offers light resistance to splashes but isn’t fully waterproof—avoid heavy rain and prolonged moisture, and dry with a soft cloth if damp. Store loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag away from direct heat and sunlight.
Q: How should I clean and care for this bag? A: Wipe the canvas with a soft, slightly damp cloth and allow it to air dry. For the brown leather trim, use a dry cloth and, if needed, a very small amount of neutral leather conditioner—avoid oils, solvents and harsh cleaners. Keep hardware dry and wipe gently with a microfibre cloth. When storing, stuff to maintain shape and keep it in a cool, dry place.
Q: Where is the Gucci serial/style code and what does it mean? A: On most modern and late‑vintage Gucci bags, the code is heat‑stamped on the underside of a small interior leather tag, often near the top edge or inside a pocket. It typically appears in two rows of digits: the first indicates the style/model and the second relates to production. It is not a date code and is not unique on its own; very early vintage pieces may differ.
Q: How does this hobo differ from the Gucci Horsebit 1955 styles? A: The Horsebit Hobo is a softer, slouchy shoulder bag with a top zip and a single strap. The Horsebit 1955 line is more structured, usually with a flap and an adjustable strap that can be worn on the shoulder or crossbody, giving a different look and carry option.
Q: What is included with this listing? A: Everything included is shown in the product information on this page. For this item, the product information currently indicates no additional items are included.
Q: What are the notable signs of wear on this specific bag? A: Overall very good condition. There are scuff marks on the leather corners and a small stain on the canvas. The interior shows light trace of use, and the gold‑tone hardware remains shiny with light surface scratches.
Q: Is the hardware solid gold? A: No. The Horsebit and other fittings are gold‑tone plated metal. Light hairline scratches from normal use are common and can often be reduced in appearance by gently buffing with a clean, dry cloth.
Q: Is the bag suitable for daily use? A: Yes—the coated GG canvas and practical medium size make it a good everyday option. As with any vintage piece, sensible care (avoiding overloading, keeping it dry, and storing properly) will help preserve its shape and finish.
