Dionysus GG velvet small shoulder bag

Introduced in GG velvet—an archival material with the GG motif embedded into soft velvet—the Dionysus shoulder bag continues to be a defining silhouette. Enriched with crystals, the tiger head closure is a unique detail referencing the Greek god Dionysus, who in myth is said to have crossed the river Tigris on a tiger sent to him by Zeus. The sliding chain strap can be worn multiple ways, changing between a shoulder and a top handle bag.

Stepping out of their zone, Gucci blesses us with a handbag made from Velvet. A material which can easily be considered tacky if executed poorly, Gucci as adorned this piece with its now classic logo not only in its mosaic textures but also the tiger head metal clip which from resembles a snake but upon close inspection is indeed the king of the jungle.

It is by any measure a luxury piece which casts class into any wearer but does so with an understated essence only haute couture fashion houses can pull off. In this regard, Gucci is a winner.
