Dionysus, the Greek god of wine and joy, is the inspiration for Gucci's collection of the same name. The tiger head clasp on the flap of this Bag in the small size refers to the legend according to which Dionysus is said to have crossed the Tigris on a tiger sent by Zeus. On the other hand, the horseshoe shape of the buckle creates a link to equestrian sport, which is close to the Italian fashion house.
