This pair of vintage Gucci loafers is finely crafted of smooth tan leather and finished with the maison's signature gold-tone Horsebit hardware across the vamp — a code introduced by Gucci in 1953 and still considered the most recognisable shoe ornament in luxury menswear and womenswear. Founded in Florence in 1921, Gucci built its reputation on Italian leatherwork rooted in equestrian tradition, seen here in the timeless silhouette of these loafers.
Hand-stitched moccasin construction with a stacked leather heel, thin rubber top-lift and a tan leather-lined interior gold-stamped "GUCCI Made in Italy". Style code 0255/3.
Brand: GUCCI Model: Horsebit Loafers Size: EU37,5 Condition: Very Good Condition Details: The tan leather uppers are structurally clean and supple with light surface scuffing and softening flex creases across the vamps. The toe boxes and heel counters show darker mottling and water-spot patina — the most visible flaws on the shoes — most concentrated on the toes and rear quarters; would benefit from leather conditioning. The gold-tone Horsebit hardware is fully intact with minor patina, the soles and heels show even, light wear with rubber top-lifts in place, and the interior gold "GUCCI Made in Italy" insole stamp is bright and legible. Main Colour: Tan Hardware Colour: Gold Material: Leather Made in: Italy
