New York – Gucci will be honoring some of the world’s most famous cities with special
versions of their Dionysus handbags. Beginning next month in January,
Gucci’s flagship stores located in New York, London, Paris, Shanghai, Hong
Kong, Tokyo, and Dubai will carry special versions of the bag. The bags
will be crafted from GG Supreme canvas and feature the metallic double
tiger head.
The decor and extra details on the bags will be unique to each city. For
example, the London bag will feature a snake and roses on it, while the
Dubai bag will feature a starfish and dragonflies. All the bags feature a
leather patch on the inside with a bee motif, in addition to the name of
the city which the specific style is dedicated to.
Each patch has a color unique to each city. Tokyo’s is pink, Rome’s is
teal, Dubai’s is green, Hong Kong’s is burgundy, Paris’s is white, New
York’s is bougainvillea, Shanghai’s is red, and London’s is blue. Earlier
this month, Gucci launched a Dionysus bag dedicated to Milan with a dark
orange patch.
