May i ask what color is your suede dionysus? is it with the canvas ? do you have any problem with the suede?Still looks great to me - classic Dionysus!
I have two suede Dionysus and I absolutely love them and get a kick out of wearing them every time.
Should I? Dionysus edition

I have a medium size black suede and small size water green suede. They’re all over suede, no canvas.
I so almost bought the beige canvas you’re wanting but ended up with the much less versatile green suede, which I love despite it being impractical.
And I’ve had both for several years now and no problems with the suede other than as expected the medium bag is quite heavy because larger bag with chain plus all over suede. It doesn’t bother me though, the good far outweighs the bad!
Excellent quality bags, better than some of my other Gucci’s.
You seem to want the lighter bag. If you need to think longterm and since you like the print anyway the sig-print canvas and beige suede combo seems like the obvious choice to me.
For the canvas and suede one, I would say the beige suede but obviously the black suede will be more practical since it will conceal stains / colour transfer.
...I’m not too practical so the lovely beige suede wins out!
Hi.
Thanks for the questions. Wow! Black leather (I was considering that as a second Dionysus purchase!). In spite of really disliking logos and heavy branding, I find the Gucci monogram to be the most aesthetically pleasing of them all. It just feels so vintage and timeless!
Even though I would usually NEVER consider monogram in anything else the GG supreme paired with the beige just blends so well in my opinion. The black suede, while gorgeous, stands out more and breaks up the lines of the bag a bit more. I feel like the tiger head closure just blends in so nicely with the suede/taupe colours. In my opinion the beige combo just looks more harmonous and even "softens" the impact of the striking hardware. I think it's a beautiful, classic balance.
If you're able to visit them in a boutique take photos with both versions and in the end go with what makes your heart sing. Both are classic combos that would work with any wardrobe and you can't go wrong.
My beige suede looks barely worn and the Dionysus is the bag I "abuse" out of all my bags! I wear it a lot and am quite careless with it. The suede still looks brand new! Just keep it out of the rain where possible. Even then, I've been caught in light rain and it's been fine.
It's probably my "heaviest" bag because I tend to opt for small lambskin bags but certainly nowhere near as heavy as a Chanel jumbo or even a larger tote.
Let's just say. I'm petite and the weight doesn't bother me. I've walked around with it all day on several occasions and didn't experience discomfort. You can't really overpack it.
Good luck deciding xxxxx
Lighter colors will naturally pick up more oils from your fingers and show more wear but if you’re careful I agree the beige/Taupe suede just feels more luxurious. I have the WOC in the Rose Beige suede ( almost 5 yrs) and even though it’s darker theres little to no wear. The bag is darker than beige suede but not as dark as the black.The bag is heavy but honestly not that much more so than most designer bags. It weighs about the same as my Chloe Faye.
I love the look of this bag and am thinking of getting it in the dusty grey leather version right now. To me it’s a classic style with a twist.
Hello
I have the WOC in black leather which is my go to for a formal do or just o dress up a more casual outfit.
I recently bough the small size in red leather (it’s a Chinese New Year special edition with a gold flower pattern) and I absolutely love it. It’s very spacious for its size, a bit heavy but also very striking.
I didn’t go for the canvass version as cute as they are because I seequite a few of these out in town. Having said that The GG canvass returns every season and ideas recycle- I just bought a second hand locket style bag from Gucci’s 2016 town collection that’s very similar to the current flowery prints they have on their website.
The Dionysus keeps coming back.

Hi yes
But i end up returning the small size and got the WOC in the black leather. it was gorgeous though (attached pic)
Two years later, today, i want the small size in canvas with the suede accent. I was never interested with anything monogram/logo... but this particular bag is really growing on me...i really fell in love with it..
Thanks for letting me know. I think i'm quite set with the canvas + beige suede.
May i ask, do you have any problem with the small dionysus sitting straight up? i felt that the small size easily fall to the front, i'm not sure if its because the bag was not filled at that time... do you have any problem with that?
Thank you, i think very much prefer the beige suede too.. Although in some photo, the black looks lovely too...
Hi Anna, good to know you have more than 1 dionysus..
I also have the WOC in black leather and now i really want this small dionysus in canvas + beige suede.
I was never into monogram/logo bag... until now..
Now you're making me consider the black leather version again! Mmmm. How beautiful.
To answer your question, no - absolutely no issues with the bag's structure. I've never experienced it falling over or not balancing.
Trust me, I wish I didn't love the bag as much as I do as I'm desperately trying to cull a few pieces from my handbag collection. I have too many bags for my own comfort. But any time I consider selling the Dionysus and even keeping it out of sight for a while (as I do with any bags I'm not 100% sure about) I seriously do miss it and pull it out from hiding. I don't think I could ever sell it. They're just such great quality timeless bags.
Damn, now I'm super tempted to buy the black leather version haha! The one thing that put me off were the crystals which I didn't think I could pull off during the day. Does your WOC have crystals on the tiger head closure? Do you feel you can use it during the day time?
Xx
Hi Catherine,
Wow your bag still looks as good as new! I really like how it looks from the side!
Great to know that you still love this bag. I was worried that i'm a bit late to join the club .
Yes , the black WOC has the crystals too on the buckle.
I do use it during the day time, i don't think it's too fancy, i think because its a WOC and i normally use the bag crossbody and dress very casually.
I did a short video on my black woc.
There is no Gucci nearby and currently unable to travel because the border is closed, so i plan to order this bag online.
Thank you
xx
I have the WOC version of this bag in monogram canvas and it's an absolute favourite! It's beautiful, and quite discreet despite the logos due to the soft color palette. It goes with almost everything, carries all my essentials and it's literally indestructible. I'd love to have the largest version of the bag aswell!
