Gucci and Horses

Remember my old post on the Gucci saddle? At that point it looked more in the AP style and was already sold out. But now, my friends, Gucci has created a new prettier, more fancy shmancy saddle... for the cool price of $11,000 once again. I think this saddle is actually a really nice product. It looks well made with the normal Gucci attention to detail such as Gs all over the place, embossing the knee pads, seat, and stirrup leathers.


Gucci actually now has added a bunch of equestrian-inspired or should i say equestrian-emulating pieces to their line. They have tons of bags...fur, leather, fabric, all adorned with full cheek french link bits. Now I only have one question.
Where do they get these bits? Tack stores? Knowing Gucci I am sure that they are specially made by like Tiffany & Co or something, but I wonder where the less expensive brands get there "bits" you see everywhere.


Gucci also has a gorgous bit-printed scarf. Another hot item is a leather toy horse for decoration for about $2,000.
