With a long-standing history that spans seven decades the emblematic design of the Gucci Horsebit adorns many of the brand's most coveted footwear and accessories today. Its trademark double ring and bar design boasts an equestrian influence that resonates with many of its legacy clients, melding the house's savoir-faire with its unparalleled craftsmanship.

One of the oldest designs that has stood the test of time is undoubtedly the Gucci Horsebit 1953 loafer, a classic slip-on shoe that is now synonymous with the acclaimed brand. With an air of elegance and timelessness, the 1953 loafer boasts sophistication and comfort for the wearer. Constructed from supple Italian calfskin, it features a subtle heel and pointed toe. The loafer is offered in black and white, with a choice for polished silver or gold-toned hardware detailing.
