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 size is the Garden Party 36 PM in this listing? A: The approximate measurements are 36 × 24 × 17 cm with a handle drop of about 16 cm. This is the classic 36 size, offering generous daily capacity without being overly bulky. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact figures.
Q: What typically fits inside the Garden Party 36? A: It comfortably holds a 13-inch laptop, A4/Letter documents, a notebook or diary, long wallet, water bottle, phone, keys, and a small cosmetics pouch. Slim 14-inch laptops may also fit depending on the case and how you pack. Capacity can vary—use the listed measurements as your guide.
Q: Can it be worn on the shoulder? A: The Garden Party 36 is primarily a handheld or crook-of-arm tote. With an approximate 16 cm handle drop, some may carry it on the shoulder over light layers, but most will find it more comfortable in hand or on the arm.
Q: Is the Garden Party 36 a good work or travel tote? A: Yes. The 36 is widely chosen for work and weekend use because it fits documents and daily tech, has a secure snap closure, and is built from durable materials suitable for frequent carry.
Q: What materials and hardware does this piece feature? A: This item is crafted in pink canvas with mauve leather trim and palladium-plated hardware. It has dual rolled leather handles and a central snap-button closure, offering a timeless, understated look.
Q: How is the interior arranged? A: The design is intentionally minimal with one spacious main compartment and side snaps to cinch or expand the silhouette. Depending on year and material, some Garden Party bags include a small interior pocket; please check our photos to see the exact interior of this piece.
Q: Is the bag heavy to carry? A: Canvas-and-leather versions like this are notably lighter than all-leather editions, making them comfortable for daily use, even when fully packed. Actual weight varies slightly by material and year.
Q: How should I care for the canvas and leather trim? A: Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after use, avoid harsh cleaners, and keep away from prolonged moisture, heat, and direct sunlight. If caught in light rain, blot dry promptly. Store it loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag to help maintain shape. For deep cleaning or repairs, we recommend the Hermès Spa or a trusted professional.
Q: What does the Hermès stamp Square H (2004) mean? A: Hermès uses a blind stamp system to indicate production year. A letter within a square corresponds to bags made between 1997 and 2014; the letter H in a square denotes 2004, which applies to this vintage piece.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information section. For this listing, no additional items are noted. If an item such as a dust bag is not listed there, it is not included—contact us if you’d like us to confirm.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this bag? A: Every item we sell is vetted by in-house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, stamps, hardware and date codes. We stand behind the authenticity of all items and are happy to provide additional photos or details on request.
