Label Text:Loafers have been a fixture of the Gucci company since the 1950s. Today, creative director Alessandro Michele has updated the signature style with a longer toe and a range of brightly colored, romantic designs – but the distinctive horsebit hardware remains intact, ensuring they are recognizably a Gucci product.
