Fashion People Are Suddenly Carrying This Shoulder Bag Again—Now I Want It More Than Ever

It seems like only yesterday that we were reporting on Gucci's new 1955 Horsebit bag in the very early days of 2020, predicting it would be the coolest new designer bag to own that year. Little did we know something else pretty major was about to upend the year that would end up making handbags basically redundant for a while. Even a full blown global pandemic couldn't stop Alessandro Michele's refreshing 1955 Horsebit shoulder bag from becoming a modern icon, though, and when the world started opening up again it was right there on all the most stylish arms.

Fast forward to summer 2025, and while there have been a number of other designer It bags vying for the limelight since then, the 1955 Horsebit remains a classic and chic choice. At least according to Elsa Hosk and Daisy Edgar-Jones it does. Both women are extremely influential in the fashion world right now, so it can surely be no coincidence that both decided to step out with Gucci's elegant yet practical bag on their shoulders again within days of each other recently. It's official, the 1955 Horsebit bag is back like it never left.

Daisy Edgar-Jones adds an elegant finish to her wide-leg trousers and black top outfit with the 1955 Horsebit shoulder bag.

With a really timeless satchel shape, heaps of Gucci heritage (the original equestrian-inspired horsebit detail was first included on a bag all the way back in—yep, you guessed it—1955) and a perfectly roomy interior, with so many different colour and fabric options now, this bag's enduring popularity should come as no surprise. So, If you're in the market for a versatile shoulder bag that will never go out of style, you can count on its timeless design as a solid investment. Keep scrolling to shop our favourite styles.
