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 typically fits inside the Hermès Garden Party 36? A: With measurements of approximately 36 x 26 x 18 cm, this size is well suited to everyday essentials such as a wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses, a water bottle, a pouch, and A4 documents. It can often accommodate a 13-inch laptop in a slim sleeve, though exact fit will depend on the device and how you pack.
Q: Can this bag be worn on the shoulder? A: The Garden Party 36 is designed with dual rolled top handles and no detachable shoulder strap. With this item’s handle drop of approximately 15 cm, some wearers may be able to carry it over the shoulder with lighter layers, but it is generally most comfortable carried by hand or in the crook of the arm.
Q: Is the Garden Party 36 a good work or day bag? A: Yes. The 36 is one of the most practical Garden Party sizes and is often chosen for work, errands, and day travel. It offers generous space without feeling oversized, although the open tote design means many owners prefer to use a pouch or organiser for smaller items.
Q: Is the interior lined and organised? A: This particular bag has an unlined wool interior with a leather base. The interior is open and spacious rather than highly compartmentalised, so it suits buyers who prefer a simple tote layout.
Q: How secure is the closure? A: This model features the signature Clou de Selle snap closure. It offers easy everyday access and the side snaps can help adjust the shape, but it is not as secure as a zip-top bag, so an interior pouch can be useful for valuables.
Q: What is Negonda leather, and why is it popular? A: Negonda is a deeply grained Hermès calfskin known for its matte look, dense feel, and durable structure. It develops a slightly softer, more supple character over time, which makes it a popular choice for relaxed everyday bags such as the Garden Party.
Q: How should I care for the wool and leather on this bag? A: For routine care, gently remove surface dust with a soft dry cloth or soft clothing brush. Avoid heavy rain, prolonged direct sunlight, heat, and overfilling. If the leather gets wet, blot it promptly with a soft lint-free cloth. For marks on the wool, avoid rubbing aggressively and consult a professional cleaner experienced with delicate textiles if needed. Store the bag in a dry, breathable environment when not in use.
Q: What condition is this vintage piece in? A: According to the product information, the exterior and interior are both in very good condition with light traces of use. The hardware remains shiny with light scratches, which is consistent with careful vintage wear.
Q: What product information is included with this item? A: No additional product information is included with this bag.
Q: Is the serial number readable on this piece? A: The serial number is noted as illegible. This can happen on vintage Hermès pieces with age and wear, so buyers often rely on the overall construction, materials, hardware, and expert authentication when assessing the bag.
