Hi all: I am fairly new to the whole designer purse game. I own one LV. That’s it. SO I got some money for my birthday and want to spend it on a new purse. I know purses like Chanel are classics and will always be in style, but am unsure regarding other purses, and would like to make sure I make a good purchase that will last me years. Do y’all think the Dionysus is a new classic or a trend? TIA!
Should I? Dionysus edition

Sure, it’s a great bag so if you like it buy it.
I have the pink leather version. These bags are works of art and very special imo.
I still think the suede version of this bag is beyond gorgeous and a classic.
I have the GG Supreme Dionysus in small with beige suede (same as photo) and still absolutely love it. I have often considered selling it because some of my friends think the design is too "loud". However it's unique in my very lady-like handbag collection. I still find it so striking and love its vintage vibe. It's very well structured, has no wear or tear and is virtually indestructible! I think it's an extremely well made bag in terms of quality.
In fact, only in the last month I asked the good people of purse forum if I should keep or sell it. I've considered selling it along with a Fendi handbag to fund a new, expensive purchase.
Unless I really need the money, I plan to keep it. It's stunning and really can dress up or down. I love it with long boho dresses or an all black combo. It literally goes with everything and I don't have to 'baby' it due to its hard canvas. I know they're both very different flap bags, but I consider the Dionysus to be an alternative to my black Chanel classic flap in terms of versatility.
The bag has had at least one price increase since I purchased and I'm pretty sure the Dionysus is part of Gucci's classic line. It's an extremely well made beauty and the price point is still a lot better than the exorbitant prices from other fashion houses. If you get sick of it you could always sell it. As I recently found out, there's still a big market of people keen to buy the bag.

Get it if you love it. It’s a classic to many tpf members, and it had a lovely vintage style at the height of its popularity. Nowadays, almost anything goes. 
The Dionysus is a very distinctive style. I know some find the bag very bold and brash. Especially in the monogram style. I personally love them. They are more of an evening/ business style so much more so than some of the other Gucci Styles. I also own other Gucci bags but admit I love the two Dionysus I have. As far as ‘in style’ I’d say that depends. The Marmont line seems to be everywhere lately. But I will say that this is definitely a bag that has had appeal to bloggers world wide since it’s release in 2012/2013. I own the leather hot pink mini and the Emerald Shanghai Blooms in the Medium Size. I buy what I like and what fits my wardrobe and lifestyle whether it’s currently the ‘in’ thing or not.
I have a velvet mini one and I think it’s a classic dressy bag. I hear the larger leather ones are heavy, but I think they are more classic than the Marmont line.
I wasn't sure to get the canvas with beige suede or black suede.
What do you think?
Hi there
Thanks for your reply..
Two years ago i purchased the small dionysus in all black leather but returned it and got the WOC in all black leather instead.
I was never really into the canvas/monogram bag before but now i fell in love with this dionysus!!
Can't decide to get the canvas with the beige suede or black suede. What do you think? I saw on youtube someone said that the lighter suede color will show more wear and tear sign, and she suggest to get it in the black suede... But i felt like the beige looks more neutral and blend together with the canvas...
Did you ever consider the canvas with black suede?
Thank you.. xx
Edit:
Oh and do you think the bag is heavy?
