Product Description
This Hermès Garden Party 36 tote in black grained leather with palladium hardware offers understated elegance. In very good vintage condition, it features dual rolled handles, a herringbone canvas lining and snap button closure. Ideal for daily use, office days or weekend city outings, it brings classic Hermès style to a polished everyday wardrobe.
Q: What typically fits inside the Hermès Garden Party 36 Tote Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 36 x 25 x 17 cm, this size is well suited to everyday essentials such as a long wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses, a cosmetic pouch, a water bottle and documents. It can also suit some small laptops or tablets, but we recommend comparing your device to the Measurements listed in the product information for the best fit.
Q: Can this bag be carried on the shoulder? A: The Garden Party 36 is often chosen because it can work better on the shoulder than smaller sizes. This bag has dual rolled handles and an approximate handle drop of 15 cm, so shoulder carry may be possible depending on your frame and clothing, but it may sit more comfortably in hand or over the arm for some wearers.
