In very good condition, it features a single chain shoulder strap and the signature crystal-embellished tiger head closure, adding a touch of glamour to refined nights out or festive celebrations.
Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: What typically fits inside the Gucci Mini Dionysus? A: With approximate measurements of 17 × 10 × 5 cm, it suits the essentials: a compact smartphone, slim cardholder, keys, a lipstick and small earbuds. Bulky wallets and larger phones may be a tight fit—packing flat, narrow items maximises space. Please check the Measurements and photos on this page to confirm your needs.
Q: Can I wear it crossbody and on the shoulder? A: Yes. The chain strap allows both crossbody and shoulder wear. The strap drop on this piece is about 59 cm. For a shorter look, you can loop part of the chain under the flap and close it carefully to secure the length temporarily.
Q: Is the chain adjustable or removable? A: The chain is a fixed length and is not adjustable via hardware. Many owners shorten it by looping or doubling the chain inside the bag when worn on the shoulder. Avoid over‑tight looping to prevent impressions on the leather and lining.
Q: How secure is the closure? A: The bag has a flap with the signature tiger head spur closure embellished with crystals. It closes firmly for everyday use; avoid overfilling so the flap sits flat and the clasp engages cleanly.
Q: Are the crystals on the tiger head delicate? A: The crystals are set securely, but like all embellished details they can chip or loosen if knocked. Try to avoid impact, and store the bag so the closure doesn’t rub against hard surfaces. Gucci aftercare services may be able to assist with repairs if ever needed.
Q: What materials is this item made from? A: This piece is crafted from red grained leather with a beige microfibre lining and silver‑tone/antique gold‑tone hardware. The textured leather is designed to be durable while keeping a refined look.
Q: How should I care for the leather and lining? A: Wipe the leather with a soft, dry cloth after use, keep it away from water, perfumes and oils, and store it stuffed to maintain shape in a breathable dust bag, away from direct light and heat. For the microfibre lining, gently shake out debris or use a clean, soft brush. For stubborn marks, seek professional care rather than home solvents.
Q: Is the Mini Dionysus heavy for its size? A: The metal chain adds a bit of substance compared with fabric straps, but most users find the mini configuration comfortable for events and short outings. Weight perception varies with contents; packing lightweight, slim items helps it feel balanced.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information on this page. If an item such as a dust bag or authenticity card is not listed there, it is not included—feel free to contact us for confirmation.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this bag? A: Every item is rigorously vetted by our in‑house experts using a multi‑point inspection of materials, stitching, hardware and stamps. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and are happy to share further product information on request.
