It’s officially loafer season, and if you have yet to find a trusty pair for fall 2025, allow me to introduce you to a Gucci loafer dupe that costs $1,025 less than the original. Many might mistakenly identify Saint G’s Jackie Leather Heeled Loafers as designer because there’s no question they share an uncanny resemblance with Gucci’s Horsebit loafer.
Made from shiny leather, sporting a low heel, and featuring gold horsebit hardware, the Saint G pair flaunts a classic, sophisticated, luxurious design and doesn’t compromise comfort. In fact, your feet should be good to walk in them all day long, thanks to their padded insoles. They do, however, show some differences from the OGs in their heel design and toe shape. The more affordable option has a heel with grooves in it—it almost looks stacked or even sculptural. It also dons a square toe, while the original Gucci loafer features a normal heel and a rounded toe. However, these are minor aesthetic variances. The essence of the iconic Gucci Horsebit is most definitely evident the Saint G design. The most glaring difference is that the former will make your wallet $1,200 lighter, while the latter comes out to just $175.
Saint G Jackie Leather Heeled Loafer
Sizes: 5M-8M, no half sizes
Colorways: 2 (Black and Off-White)
The Jackie Leather Heeled Loafers come in black and off-white colorways, so you can pick between a timeless black leather or a bolder off-white version. Either way, both are versatile and bring a preppy flair to any outfit. Speaking of outfits, I’m thinking a mini skirt with a long-sleeve, striped rugby shirt, and chunky socks. Or, you could dress down the $175 loafers with straight-leg jeans, a plain white tee, a crewneck sweater draped over your shoulders, and a baseball cap. Both outfit ideas are giving preppy Hamptons or Nantucket girlie (or maybe even Cape Cod—Isabel Conklin, where yah at?).
The bottom line is that if you’ve been searching for a stylish, designer-looking loafer without spending hundreds and thousands, this Gucci alternative belongs in your wardrobe, stat. It’ll complete and complement all of your fall outfits—whether you’re strolling down the cobblestone streets of a small Northeastern town, picking apples in the suburbs, going on a romantic weekend getaway upstate, or trying to look cute and mysterious in your favorite coffee shop or bookstore on a crisp autumn day.
Saint G’s Jackie loafer is available at QVC, but sizes are selling out in the black colorway, and we’re sure the off-white version will follow suit. So, act quick and order your Gucci loafer dupes before your perfect (and affordable) fall shoe is gone.
