HermèsGarden Party 36 Negonda Tote Bag

Q: What size is this Hermès Garden Party 36?
A: This bag measures 36 cm wide × 26 cm high × 18 cm deep, with a handle drop of 15 cm. The 36 refers to the bag’s approximate width in centimetres.

Q: What is Negonda leather?
A: Negonda is a textured calfskin leather. Hermès uses a shrinking treatment before tanning to increase its density and accentuate its natural characteristics. This Garden Party is the black Negonda leather version.

Q: Can the Garden Party 36 be worn over the shoulder?
A: The Garden Party 36 can be carried by hand or over the shoulder, although comfort depends on your build and clothing. This particular bag has a 15 cm handle drop, so shoulder clearance may be limited over a thick coat. No separate shoulder strap is listed in the product information.

Q: Does the Garden Party 36 have a zip closure?
A: No. The model has a Clou de Selle press-stud closure rather than a full zip across the top. It offers easy access, but does not fully enclose the opening like a zipped tote.

Q: Is the Garden Party 36 suitable for carrying a laptop?
A: The size makes it a practical option for work essentials, but laptop fit has not been confirmed for this particular bag. Compare your laptop’s dimensions, including its sleeve, with the listed bag measurements. External measurements do not guarantee usable interior space, so avoid a tight fit or overloading.

Q: What condition is this pre-owned bag in?
A: It is rated Very Good Condition. The exterior has minor rubbing on the corners. The interior shows light traces of use and minor stains, while the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. Please review the product photographs alongside these condition details.

Q: When and where was this bag made?
A: The recorded M stamp within a square dates this bag to 2009. Its country of origin is listed as France.

Q: What comes with this bag?
A: A dust bag is included. Please refer to the product information for the complete list of included items; a box and authenticity card are not listed.

Q: Would a bag organiser be useful for the Garden Party 36?
A: An organiser or small pouches can help keep everyday essentials easy to find within the roomy tote. Choose an organiser that fits comfortably inside without stretching the leather, and allow for the fact that usable interior dimensions are smaller than the external measurements.
