GUCCI HORSEBIT 1955 BAG REVIEW - Sizing, What Fits Inside, Wear + Tear

A comprehensive review of my Gucci Horsebit 1955 Bag now that I've had it for over 9 months. I filmed this back in September 2023 but it's taken me this long to get around to editing the video - oops! References to 6 months should be 9 months as I bought the bag in May 2023 :)
I talk sizing, pricing, wear & tear, share what fits inside and I also weigh the bag - all of the things you want to know before purchasing should be addressed in this video. Enjoy!

I have the exact same bag for two years, been wearing them normally and it still looks new!!! This is definitely a bag I would keep using till passing it down to the next generation lol

[@whatveewore]

I love that yours still looks new! it was definitely made to last :)

[@lisahbobisa]

Finally! Thank you! Been waiting for this video for so long while salivating at your OOTDs with it 😍

[@whatveewore]

Yay! I had a lot of fun putting this one together 🥰

[@bostonluxmom]

Yay you’re back. I have been waiting for your review of this bag!

[@whatveewore]

Yay! Thank you!

[@amsinthemitten]

Thanks for the review. This was very thorough and the editing is fabulous. ❤

[@whatveewore]

Thank you so much!

[@marilynguppy9138]

Nice to have you back.

[@whatveewore]

Thank you! It’s great to be back 🥰

I am a coach gals and I am new in Lux things.. KZbin brings me to this video, absolutely love the bag.. the logo not that loud, design is timeless.. in my opinion. Considering this bag as my first lux / designer bag in the future.. :)

[@whatveewore]

It’s a beautiful bag! And you’re right - the logo isn’t too loud with this one

[@HuckabyMinhas]

I don't own fakes, but I can certainly understand why people would buy fakes, especially now that prices are rising and there are more and more quality issues with authentic bags. When my patience runs out, I will also go to *condup* to shop what I like bag.

[@zhisu2665]

I love the plain ones so much despite being a monogram lover, it's so CLEAN, classic, versatile

[@whatveewore]

They’re a real contrast to the monogram ones aren’t they? I love them too!

[@fgzy123]

Your blog helped me decide on this bag back in August. Once I confirmed it could go crossbody, I was sold. Bought it in red leather and it's gorgeous. Looks great with a Burberry honey colored trench coat.

[@whatveewore]

I'm so glad!

[@ackelsonrothamel]

Regardless of the *condup* bag or any other factors, I fervently believe that without the proper expertise, one would not be able to distinguish the appearance of the bag or the changes in the metal parts.

[@FreeskyeThaiAussie]

I owned the canvas one in 2021 then decided to let it go to get the fund for the Chanel classic flap in 2022. I have come across the regret feeling on and off and this video really made me wanted to get it back 😄

[@whatveewore]

get it baaaack!!!

[@sesilt8458]

Hi! Love the review! Can you please share what brown knee-length leather boots you're wearing as you're styling this bag?

[@AnUrbanGypsy]

Love this bag, Vee, such a classic shade too. I have the canvas mini with the white trim and it’s one of my favourite, most worn bags. Had it 2 years and other than some scratches on the hardware where the strap attaches, it’s in beautiful condition. Really hardwearing leather. I would love the canvas with blue trim and the brown also. I will say at 5’3”/163cm and a size UK/AU 16/US 12, the canvas webbing strap is a little too short for crossbody on me but the leather one at full length is great! I hope you love yours as much as I love mine, the brown is a beautiful classic. 😊

[@whatveewore]

oh yay! i'm so glad to hear that you're loving yours too and that it's in great condition. i'm still very much in love with mine :)

[@HuckabyMinhas]

Many of the people who buy the authentic ones have kids in college and have huge student loans and unpaid home mortgages, but still spend thousands of dollars on handbags. I often recommend *condup* to them, they have good quality brand bags.

[@carbogrec]

I tried both bags small and mini in the same color at the Gucci in Paris. I went in thinking I will buy the mini cause I loved the multiple straps. But the small looked way more luxurious than the mini.

[@whatveewore]

the small is great!

[@voilaid]

Gucci Horsebit is so adorable indeed, have you seen the newest design? Do you prefer the classic one or the newest version? 😁

[@whatveewore]

i think i prefer the classic!

[@mamaandharry4573]

Did you consider the CELINE Triompe as an alternative before getting the Gucci ?

[@whatveewore]

I did! I love the triomphe bag and have for many years. But I ultimately preferred the Horsebit detail on this bag as well as the colour options

[@mamaandharry4573]

@@whatveeworethanks. I got the Teen Triomphe and the safety clasp (city security functionality not design) was the what swung it for me however am still looking for a larger version bag. Love the Gucci Horsebite but not 100% sure with the slip closure esp when on public transport

[@Vi6ration]

Surprised by how little it fits

[@whatveewore]

it's no mary poppins bag!

[@PaulaBrahanCan]

agree. i wanted it until i saw this video.
