At Gucci, soft is clearly in, as the latest offering to join its expansive leather goods lineup proves. Deviating from ostentatious monograms, the Softbit Shoulder Bag in soft, supple-grained leather whispers rather than shouts. At the forefront of this new design, half the Horsebit embellishment doubles as an innovative magnetic closure.
This intuitive redesign also speaks to a clever play on familiarity. The emblematic motif remains instantly recognisable, while the reimagined half injects a fresh and contemporary edge. Furthermore, the magnetic closure gives the half Horsebit a practical function, making it easy to acess the bag’s contents.
There are currently two sizes catering to different needs to watch for. Measuring 27.5 cm by 21 cm, the small (SGD4000) size is ideal for evenings and weekends. On the other hand, the large (SGD4600), which comes in at 46 cm by 26 cm, is a workhorse boasting ample room for a laptop and documents.
The supple-grained leather comes in shades of Black, Brown, Dark Green, White and Gucci’s signature Rosso Ancora Red. Just head to its local boutiques to get up close and personal.
