Description from the seller

Calfskin Bee Embroidered Medium Dionysus Shoulder Bag White Blue Hibiscus Red

This captivating Gucci Dionysus Bee Shoulder Bag is a whimsical, standout piece from Alessandro Michele's maximalist era at Gucci, blending the house's signature motifs with playful, jewel-like detailing. The structured envelope-style body features a color-blocked design in luxurious smooth calfskin leather: rich hibiscus red, a navy blue stripe, and creamy beige/ivory on the flap—creating a bold, graphic tricolor palette that's instantly recognizable as Michele-era Gucci.

The focal point is the dramatic crystal- and bead-embellished bee appliqué on the front flap: a large, intricately crafted bumblebee with black beaded body, shimmering silver/gray wings, and vibrant orange crystal accents for the stripes and details—evoking Gucci's iconic insect symbolism (a recurring motif representing rebirth and good fortune). The bee is framed by the signature aged silver-tone GG Dionysus-inspired hardware: a chunky, rope-twisted handle/turn-lock closure with interlocking elements for secure fastening. A detachable aged silver-tone chunky curb-link chain strap allows for cross-body, shoulder, or handheld carry, adding edgy shine and versatility.

The compact yet elegant form offers a spacious interior for evening essentials like phone, cards, keys, and cosmetics—making it perfect for cocktail hours, events, or as a bold statement accessory that elevates any look with its eclectic glamour and craftsmanship. Handmade in Italy, this bag is a collector's delight from Gucci's playful, heritage-reviving collections.

The interior heat-stamped code on the leather tag reads 403348.325040

Overall Condition: Very good pre-owned condition. The bag retains excellent structure, shape, and visual impact with light, consistent signs of gentle use—still presenting as a striking, statement piece.

Exterior: The tricolor leather (red, navy, cream white) shows rich, even coloring with no major fading, discoloration, or cracking. Light surface wear includes subtle handling marks, micro-scratches, or gentle creasing on edges and high-touch areas consistent with occasional carry. The crystal- and bead-embellished bee appliqué remains intact and sparkling. Corners and edges are nice and intact with no scuffing, rubbing, or wear-through.

Interior: The lining looks nice and clean, with no stains, marks, odors, or damage visible—well-preserved and showing only minimal signs of light use.

A sparkling, bee-embellished Gucci Dionysus—whimsical luxury with Michele's signature flair, in very good wearable condition!
