What is the Half Horsebit on this bag?

It is the engraved metal piece at the side of the bag. It works as the hardware ring that the leather shoulder strap passes through, so it is both a design signature and a functional part.

Is the strap adjustable?

Yes. The leather shoulder strap slides and fastens with a pin and punch-hole buckle, so you can set the drop for shoulder carry.

What is the bag made of?

Sand and dark brown GG monogram canvas with brown leather trim. The lining is diamante jacquard canvas with a leather-trimmed internal slip pocket.

Does it close with a zip?

Yes, the top closes with a zipper, which keeps the main compartment covered during shoulder carry.

How does it compare with Gucci's Horsebit chain bags?

This one uses a leather shoulder strap and a single Half Horsebit at the side, so it is lighter on hardware than the chain-strap Horsebit styles. It keeps the monogram canvas and Horsebit motif in a simpler shoulder bag.

What fits inside the medium size?

It is a medium shoulder bag with one main zipped compartment and a slip pocket. Expect room for daily essentials such as a phone, wallet, keys and small cosmetics.
