Francis Ford Coppola can’t live without them, Alain Delon and Jane Birkin wear them, and even Jackie Kennedy had a pair. The Gucci loafer featuring a metal horse bit is an iconic shoe that has survived the test of time. 60 years after its original conception at the Gucci ateliers in Florence, the loafers are now all the more relevant as they lead the flat shoes trend for Spring/Summer 2013.
There is nothing more chic than customizing your staples and for this occasion, Gucci offers a made-to-order service inviting you to choose the textiles, color, and one of three shades of metal for the horse bit embellishment. This is offered exclusively in two store locations only: the Taipei Gucci flagship, and at Level Shoe District in Dubai.
Join us in Milan to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Gucci loafer in episode 6 of Style Diary.
