The Italian fashion house has long held a deep connection with the equestrian world—a source of inspiration that has shaped some of the most iconic symbols in haute couture. For centuries, elements such as golden hardware, fine leather, and silhouettes evoking the elegance of the stables have been transformed into wearable art. From the emblematic Horsebit detail to braided leather lines, Gucci has reimagined equestrian aesthetics as a timeless expression of sophistication.
But how many of these iconic pieces do you actually know?

Horsebit 1955

This iconic bag bridges past and present through its signature double ring and bar hardware. Inspired by the original 1955 design, it blends classic lines with contemporary elegance, becoming a symbol of Italian luxury. Its most distinctive features include a structured silhouette with a top flap, an adjustable strap for shoulder or crossbody wear, and exquisite craftsmanship in materials such as smooth leather, GG canvas, or exotic skins.

Gucci Equestrian Silk Jacquard Tie

This silk jacquard tie pays subtle, refined tribute to Gucci’s equestrian heritage. Crafted in Italy, it features a woven pattern of riding motifs—stirrups, saddles, and the iconic bar hardware—rendered in sophisticated hues like navy blue and burgundy, adding visual richness to formal looks.

Gucci Equestrian Printed Silk‑Twill Scarf

This silk scarf offers a fresh take on Gucci’s equestrian legacy. Made from 100% Italian silk twill, it showcases an all-over print of equestrian elements and serves as a versatile accessory—worn around the neck, tied to a handbag, or wrapped in the hair. The palette of browns, beiges, and luxury details turns this carré into a statement piece where riding tradition meets the sophistication of the modern wardrobe.

Gucci Men’s Horsebit 1953 Moccasins

Loyal to the original design but with a bolder stance, these shoes reinterpret classic elegance through a modern lens. Their refined silhouette and unmistakable metal hardware echo the equestrian spirit of mid-20th-century social clubs. Handcrafted using traditional Florentine techniques, they embody Gucci’s philosophy: timeless design, exceptional materials, and a perfect harmony between heritage and innovation.
