Ideal for day-to-night dressing, this black quilted Gucci Dionysus hobo elevates everything from tailored workwear to weekend denim. The sleek medium silhouette and iconic tiger-head closure bring polished edge to meetings, gallery visits, dinner dates and evenings out.
Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: What can the Medium Dionysus Quilted Hobo typically hold? A: As a slim medium hobo (approx. 36 × 27 × 5 cm), it comfortably fits A4 documents, a 13-inch laptop in a slim sleeve, a long wallet, phone, keys and a small cosmetics pouch. Capacity varies by how you pack, and the tapered opening means wider items may need angling.
Q: How can I carry this bag day to day? A: It comes with a single leather shoulder strap for under‑arm carry and a detachable web stripe shoulder strap. The handle drop is about 18 cm and the additional strap drop is about 51 cm, allowing shoulder or crossbody wear for many builds—please compare with your preferred drop length.
Q: How does the Dionysus tiger head closure work, and is it secure? A: The front strap features the hallmark Dionysus tiger head push-lock. To open, press the push mechanism and lift; to close, align and press until it clicks. It is designed to stay securely fastened during normal use.
Q: What is the interior like? A: The bag is lined in nude microfibre and includes two internal pockets to organise smaller essentials. The slim profile keeps items tidy and easy to reach.
Q: Is the leather suitable for rainy days, and how should I care for it? A: Quilted leather is durable but not waterproof. Avoid heavy rain when possible; if it gets wet, blot gently and allow it to air-dry away from heat. Store stuffed in its dust bag, avoid prolonged contact with dark denim or abrasive surfaces, and use a neutral leather conditioner sparingly on clean, dry leather.
Q: Can the detachable strap be swapped or removed? A: Yes, the web stripe shoulder strap is detachable, so you can remove it for a cleaner shoulder look or swap to another compatible strap to customise carry and drop length.
Q: Does it fit a 13-inch laptop? A: Yes, most slim 13-inch laptops fit thanks to the 36 cm width and 27 cm height. For best results use a thin sleeve and insert at a slight angle due to the hobo’s curved opening.
Q: What items are included with this bag? A: Everything included is listed under product information. For this piece: dust bag and detachable shoulder strap.
Q: What does “Very Good” condition mean for this item? A: You can expect light traces of use inside and out. On this piece, the leather and lining show gentle wear, and the silver-tone hardware remains shiny with light scratches only—please review the photos for specifics.
Q: What is the significance of the tiger head hardware? A: The double tiger head is the signature of the Dionysus line, referencing the Greek myth of Dionysus and symbolising the collection’s distinctive character—an iconic detail recognised across Gucci’s designs.
