Product Description
This vintage Hermès Garden Party 30 tote bag in brown leather is in very good condition, with light traces of use. Finished with double leather handles, silver-tone hardware and an orange printed canvas lining, it is an elegant choice for city days, lunches or polished everyday wear.
Q: What typically fits inside the Hermès Garden Party 30 Tote Bag? A: With measurements of approximately 30 x 21 x 14 cm, this size works well for everyday essentials such as a long wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses, a small cosmetics pouch and other daily items. It offers practical day-to-day capacity while keeping a compact silhouette.
Q: Can this bag be carried on the shoulder? A: The Garden Party 30 is often described as a hand-carry style, and some versions may sit over the shoulder depending on build and clothing. For this specific bag, the handle drop is approximately 12 cm, so it is best considered primarily a handheld or crook-of-the-arm tote.
Q: Will it fit a laptop or A4 documents? A: This is not the most suitable size for most laptops or full A4 paperwork. The 30 cm width makes it better for smaller personal items and compact daily carry rather than work-tech use. Please compare your item’s measurements to the dimensions listed on this page before purchasing.
Q: Is the Hermès Garden Party 30 a good everyday bag? A: Yes, this model is widely appreciated for everyday use thanks to its simple structure, practical tote shape and understated look. The 30 size is especially popular for those who want a refined daily bag that feels roomy enough for essentials without being oversized.
