There is no contesting that ever since Alessandro Michele stepped in at Gucci, the house has been given a new sensibility. His debut collection for fall/winter 2015-16 displayed his keen eye for fashion - and, particularly accessories – and has put the label back on fashion’s top watch list. From the collection, that he only had 5 days to prepare for, he has produced handbags, shoes and clothing that have become the star pieces of the season.

His distinctive aesthetic is modern with a vintage perception, quirky with a thoughtful approach. His appeal has brought a whole new wave of fashion It girls to the brand’s side – ones that we all adore for the right reasons; girls who are not afraid to be different, smart and show their individual sense of style. Fashion icons like Alexa Chung and Dakota Johnson devoutly sport the label while fashion editors and insiders keenly chime into key pieces.

Michele has breathed new life to Gucci’s eponymous GG print through the new Dionysus bag. The bag’s design embodies Gucci’s beloved heritage and has reignited our love for the symbol of the iconic Italian label. Apart from the GG print, the shoulder bag’s distinctive feature is its metal horseshoe-shaped double tiger-head closure and chain shoulder straps. A romantic hand painted flower motif with pink leather detailing and embroidered embellishments such as a bee, snake or eagle, created using strips of brass silk thread, are also available. Carried over to the cruise 2016 and spring/summer 2016 collections, this bag has already become a classic worth investing in.
