Did you ever think your handbag could make you look thinner or give you some extra curves? It's true that the look of your handbag can actually flatter your figure, or not! Let's take a look at the following five body types and some general guidelines for carrying the right bag for you.

• Fuller top/narrower bottom: accentuate the lower part of your frame by carrying a longer, slouching, or hobo-style bag.


• Narrow top/fuller bottom: wear handbags with shorter straps, close under the shoulder to balance your figure.


• Thinner from top to bottom: you can pull off those trendy, unstructured big bags with bolder patterns to add extra dimension to your shape.


• Fuller figured from top to bottom: carry a structured bag in solid colors with little pattern that falls to your middle.


• Hourglass shape: you're the girl that can wear anything!

In the 1930's, Guccio Gucci's international clientele wanted a new look that was reminiscent of the equestrian lifestyle. After much thought, he introduced hardware in the shape of a horsebit to his already classic designs. The look lended itself perfectly to a new equestrian-inspired feel of his collection, and it soon became a signature symbol of his line.

Fast forward to the sixties and changing times. With more laid back styles emerging on the fashion front, Gucci jumped onboard and created a new twist on the hobo bag. With the 1930's horsebit hardware now a standard in Gucci design, its combination with current day styling gave birth to the Gucci Horsebit Hobo purse. It remains a classic today and is sure to be around for many years to come.
