Gucci Horsebit Shoulder Bag – Convertible Clutch, 1960s–70s Italian Leather

A timeless piece of Italian luxury, this authentic vintage Gucci shoulder bag dates from the late 1960s to early 1970s, crafted in rich espresso-brown calfskin with a sleek, structured silhouette. The flap front is adorned with the house’s iconic silver-tone horsebit hardware, a refined reference to Gucci’s equestrian heritage — seamlessly inset for a subtle, architectural touch.

The body is detailed with tonal stitching, an elegant matte-sheen finish, and gusseted side panels that expand slightly for ease of access. Inside, the bag reveals two main compartments, a zipped pocket, and an additional slip pocket, all lined in smooth leather and stamped “Made in Italy by Gucci” in gold — consistent with the house’s classic mid-century markings.

A standout detail is the adjustable leather shoulder strap, which is cleverly secured with a screw-in metal pin fastening. This allows the strap to be fully removed, transforming the bag into a streamlined clutch — ideal for day-to-night wear.

This is a rare and exquisite archival Gucci piece, perfect for collectors and connoisseurs of fine vintage leather goods. Polished yet quietly luxurious, it pairs effortlessly with sharp tailoring, silk separates, or a soft cashmere knit and denim.
