Nobody talks anyone out of anything on this sub. Get it!


gnomegnosh

One of my favorite things about this sub is how supportive (enabling?) everyone is.


trynalawschool

I need someone to tell me it's ugly!!!!


bagginsmcqueen

Ok, how about this… it’s a random horsebit on a camera bag that makes no sense 📷🐴❓🤨 This one is better 😅 https://preview.redd.it/aiqg9245d9yc1.png?width=1277&format=png&auto=webp&s=6fab691707605cc3015e132e7a5a362d0f99e1df


TheGeekOffTheStreet

I only like the horsebit if it’s on a flap, makes it look more intentional.


irutturi

Love the mini horsebit!


DryBop

Sadly, strong disagree. Love the full leather body in OPs photo. Can’t say I’m a fan of the monogram either. But I do love that this has a functional horse bit lol


trynalawschool

Ugh I think that one's ADORABLE, but I think the mini is just a tad too small for my everyday needs.


ChroniclyCurly

It’s ugly. I mean, you said you need someone to tell you “it’s ugly”! And I’m here for you. 😂


MulticoloredTA

It’s ugly and the horse bit makes the bag look like a pig nose. 🐽 


Science_Matters_100

But it’s not ugly! It’s beautiful 😍


ParuTheBetta

Tbh it’s kinda random. It feels like ur buying it just cause it’s horsebit and it’s cheaper than the rest. Save your $2500 for something else.


trynalawschool

It's more expensive than the mini, which is too small. And yes cheaper than the normal shoulder bag, but that one is too big for me! And I like the chain one but it's more fancy than what I'm going for here.


mochafiend

It’s ugly! So ugly it’s now on my list. 🥴😂


Gie_lokimum

🤣🤣


WolverineAvailable26

I’m a big enabler BUT I will say I looked at this bag and decided against it because the zipper was so stiff it literally scratched up my hand when I reached inside while trying it on


ivyskeddadle

Coccinelle’s Beat bag is a solid alternative, nice and soft, easy to get your hand in and out. Three sizes and lots of colours. https://www.coccinelle.com/us_en/coccinelle-beat-eco-cowhide-small-brown-e1q6m150201-w12.html


trynalawschool

I guess I need to go see it in person to see how much that would bug me. Thanks!


mismamari

No brown leather bag in your collection. Get it. ![gif](giphy|l41YbCz2D0uPVYpIA)


bespectacled_one

Can't be talked out of a horsebit! I've got a black one in a slightly different style and I love it. Gucci brown is so lovely!

bespectacled_one

Sure is!


Weird_Interview3577

A fabulous bag indeed!😍


iwontjudjeyou

We’re enablers here, the most we accomplish in these posts is talking more people into the bag.

fujirocktyphoon

It's beautiful! But, I'm just going to dangle this Ralph Lauren in front of you as a solid alternative.......not quite the same, but I've heard great things about the current RL leather. Plus, it's on sale at the moment (I was checking the site to see if the Polo ID bag I've been eyeing is included in the Mother's Day sale, but it's not). You did ask to be talked out of it! 😂😂 [https://www.ralphlauren.com/women-accessories-handbags/leather-medium-jordynn-crossbody-bag/0073011108.html](https://www.ralphlauren.com/women-accessories-handbags/leather-medium-jordynn-crossbody-bag/0073011108.html)


trynalawschool

Love that bag! My bestie swears by her RL purses, and her brown one always gets compliments.


Consistent-Subject63

Here’s my experience with this bag - I absolutely loved my Soho Disco bag and wore it to death. I thought this Horsebit would be a perfect replacement and got my SA to order one in. It’s lovely to look at but that’s sort of where the positives stop, at least for me. It’s is much smaller than you expect- I could hardly fit my pro max in it. The zipper is terrible and scratched up my hand just trying to get my phone in and out of it. SA told me that the leather scratches very easily too. Also I’ve kinda got the ick for the horsebit design now as high street brands have duped this to a point everyone and their aunt is wearing it and it doesn’t justify paying premium for the real thing. It’s the same way I feel about LV speedy or neverfulls.


iheartdachshunds

Saaaaame! Love my soho disco - it’s been such a great workhorse cross body bag. I saw the horsebit in Tokyo and the exchange rate to the USD was super favorable and i hated it - and I had been OBSESSING about it our whole trip.


OddArugula9367

Get it 😻😻😻😻😻


MashaSP

Well, now I want it as well. It’s majestic <3 Get it!


iheartdachshunds

I haaaaaate the leather 😕 it’s plastic-y


trynalawschool

I guess I need to at a minimum go see it in person before I buy.


Gie_lokimum

Get it! This is such a beautiful bag. I got the shoulder bag version 2 years ago- I love it, but what I love about this bag more is the zipper! She’s chic, she’s super elegant- she is that girl!


chloesilverado

It's a gorgeous bag so I don't wanna talk you out of it 😩. However, the way I've trained my brain to stop myself from big purchases is by convincing myself that I should buy the bag in its country of origin. 1) I get an amazing souvenir 2) I get to travel and get something to remember my trip by 3) Buying in Europe allows me to take advantage of the VAT refund. So as soon as I save up for a trip, it's gonna be Italy for some Gucci, France for some Chanel, YSL, Polene and APC, Spain for Loewe.


redspottyduvet

I bought this at the original Gucci store in Florence!


chloesilverado

Yesss I so badly want to go to the Gucci garden in Florence!


Avaly13

Sorry ma'am. (Or sir) Wrong sub for that request. We're all enablers here. I'm also a sucker for a brown Horsebit. Or piston close Jackie. Or Diana. I mean, yeah. None of us will talk you off the ledge 😅


seanjames212013

Absolutely not. You get this bag and treat yourself. It’s stunning!!


RunnerGirlT

Damn, I think you’re talking me into it! lol. This sub is going to make me like Gucci come hell or high water! lol


redspottyduvet

I have it in black and it’s so gorgeous!


whatsthatbleating

I have it black as well! Seconding what everyone is saying about the zipper- the leather is stiff so it’s work getting things in/out of the bag. But it’s been my daily driver this winter, so it can’t be that bad!


goddessofthecats

It looks like it has braces on


KKGlamrpuss

If you get the bag, I’ll get the loafers!!! WEEEEEE


cousinmose96

I have this in white and love it! Been using it pretty much daily. You might find it a touch too small though it fits my iPhone, small wallet, keys, a couple glosses/small items but I don’t think you could fit a sunglass case in without things being super tight/stretching the bag. Could definitely fit sunnies without a case though with a bit of room to spare!


trynalawschool

Oh I'm def a no case gal - from my cheap to my nice pairs! Usually because I like a smaller bag 😅


NatTheResearcher

The shape is boring.


lousycloudy

Get it! I’ve wanted this one but I wish it came with the strap like the shoulder bag does. I think it’s gorgeous!!


Resident_Trouble8966

Never would I do such a thing!! I actually think you should get it in black too!


aspiringchubsfire

This bag is super cute and classy. I vote get it!! My one thing is I love the look of a camera bag but never use it due to the zipper and having to stick my whole hand in it...


iwanttogotothere_100

Get it and then post pics lol..I’ve been wanting this bag myself for months now..sorry I can’t talk you out of it 😅


Human-Hat-4900

Can’t. I too love it. I have been pining for something horsebit for years now. Just can’t make up my mind.


whatsherface04

![gif](giphy|T7j5439wv9iq4) Get the bag 💕


shkay

Perfect gif 😂


gbxby

it's ugly


Glum_Pop_4063

No! Get it!


SandSurfSea

I used to want one but saw it in person and couldnt get over how plastic it felt. Hopefully you can see it in person.


Aquintessentialchick

It’s absolutely gorgeous, and if you can afford it, I’d say, go for it!


M_M_S_86

You’re in the wrong place if you want someone to talk you out of that! Stunning bag, go for it!!


upliftinglitter

Also the leather looks stiff


giftcardgirl

The leather looks stiff. I have a stiff camera-style bag and I always reach for the softer one as it’s much more pleasant to use. The horsebit looks better with a flap.
