Gucci black bag
A designer bag might not be the most practical purchase, but it's been a hard couple of years for everyone and if you can afford to give yourself or someone you love one indulgent thing, why not make it a daily accessory that will get a a lifetime of use? Gucci is so attached to the idea of luxury that the two words are practically interchangeable. Combined with this bag's Dionysian moniker and you have a recipe for impractical opulence at its best. The gorgeous black leather and chunky silver chain–which can be adjusted for length–are set off by an antiqued metal tiger's head eblem, meant to represent Dionysus' arrival via the Tigris river after being sent by Zeus with his indulgent passion for wine. This representational excess comes in quite the chic package, however, and their meaning will be most important to the carrier of this work of art. Give it to the reveler in your life who maintains an elegant appearance, or to yourself as a reminder to let loose and really live.
