Gucci's Dionysus bag, an iconic accessory designed by the brand.
Gucci, an Italian House of Fashion that came into being in 1921 under the stewardship of Guccio Gucci. At the time, the brand worked mainly with leather, producing high-end leather goods. Its designs are the embodiment of the Gucci tradition and the brand's unique know-how. For over a century now, the House has been reinventing itself by proposing new models that are innovative and elegant to its customers, season after season. The success of certains bags, like Dionysus, however, is un paralelled, making it a legendary accessory today in the world of contemporary fashion.
Model design by Alessandro Michele.
Alessandro Michele worked in the accessories division of the house of Gucci for 14 years. In 2015, he developed the model known as Dionysus. The bag, an innovation for the brand, is a clever blend of respect for Gucci traditions and an injection of modernity. The designer used the famous monogram canvas as the basis for the reduced-format models that was an instant hit. The clasp in the form of a tiger's head is another characteristic feature of the Dionysus. In view of the bag's success, the brand today offers its customers the possibility of personalising it by choosing the embroidery, finish, colours and materials. It is also possible to engrave the initials of your choice and adorn them with Swarovski crystals.
