The horsebit is unique designer hardware that puts a slightly different twist on the standard chain link!
A horsebit is a piece of metal that is placed between the horse's teeth near the back of the mouth. Figuratively, a horsebit is a fashion accessory seen in designer jewelry, apparel, shoes, and accessories.
Gucci is probably THE most predominant designer brand that features the horsebit as a signature designer detail that can be seen across the board in their items. In particular, Gucci uses the horsebit on many of their signature handbags like the 85th Anniversary Bag shown here.
Quick, take this poll -- Horsebit Yes or No?
It's fashion I say -- no horsing around!
