The Horsebit Craze and Hidden Gems via The RealReal

I spent days scouring the internet so you don't have to

Most of my absolute favorite (and most utilized) purchases have been preloved, like these Bottega flats, this tote from The Row, these vintage Manolos, a Calvin Klein blazer, a Magda Butrym trench (or two), this Missoni shoulder bag, a Prada rain jacket, a vintage RL belt, and an Extreme Cashmere tank. I could go on but I think you get the picture.

There’s no better feeling than a good vintage find - a one of a kind jacket, interesting jewelry, or a well priced knee high boot. Preloved pieces bring a sense of character and interest to your style that other items can’t (and usually at a decent price). Soo, I gathered my favorite secondhand finds below; hopefully you’ll love them as much as I do.

Vintage Gucci Slim Horsebit

Patent bi-fold wallet, also avail in brown or for a serious steal here / beige patent wallet / vintage shoulder bag (I’ve always loved this silhouette, reminds me so much of this / Tom Ford for Gucci patent shoulder bag, and in excellent condition here / brown thin horsebit belt / patent wallet, another one here, or in white

Originally I thought it would be fun to do a little deep dive and lesson on the history of Gucci’s Horsebit, but figured it was better to stay in my lane and just share the good stuff (or what’s left of it), since the horsebit craze appears to be in full swing.

If you’re looking for more equally great vintage bag options: nylon Prada tessuto (I have this and it’s one of my favorite bags, great for all seasons), Prada handle bag (great alternative to this), embossed Bottega handbag, patent Gucci wallet, and a perfect Gucci shoulder bag.

I low key can’t stand depop, but these croc loafers are great, and someone deserves this brown suede and fur coat (not Gucci or horsebit, but good nonetheless. I would try and get the price down).
