We're Only 4 Days Into the New Year, But I Think This Is the Coolest Bag of 2020
Gucci has a knack for dropping items that quickly rise to It status, so it's no surprise that the brand's 1955 Horsebit bag is the latest in-demand piece among the fashion set. We are only a few days into 2020, I'm predicting it will be one of the key designer handbags of the year.
What do you need to know about it? The Gucci 1955 Horsebit Bag comes in three distinct shapes crafted in various materials and colourways with prices ranging from £1580 to £1750. As the name suggests, it's based on archival designs from 1955 that incorporates the iconic Gucci GG print and equestrian hardware. So if it looks like a modern take on a classic, that's because it is. If you're in the market for a new bag that will never go out of style, you can count on its timeless design as a solid investment.
Already spotted on fashion insiders including Yoyo Cao, Veronika Heilbrunner and Alyssa Coscarelli, it's only going to continue to pick up speed on the street style scene once fashion month arrives. Here, see how they're wearing the latest Gucci It bag…
Always an early adopter, Yoyo Cao is styling the Gucci 1955 Horsebit bag to perfection by mixing the GG logo with more prints.
This red-trimmed bag also looks incredible when paired with a bold colour like María Bernad's purple 'fit.
Of course, it looks incredible with neutral pieces as well.
There's nothing sleeker than this classic all-black bag.
Alyssa Coscarelli is wearing the messenger bag, which is the perfect version to reach for if you're looking for a tote style.
It pairs nicely with bold prints, as seen in Veronika Heilbrunner's outfit here.
Because white goes with just about everything.
Brown is the seasonless colour that works at any time of the year.
