Delivery & Returns
Q: What size is the Hermès Garden Party 36 Tote Bag? A: This bag measures approximately 36 x 26 x 17 cm, making it a roomy everyday tote with enough space for daily essentials while still keeping a structured silhouette.
Q: What typically fits inside the Garden Party 36? A: It will comfortably hold items such as a wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses, a notebook, a cosmetics pouch, and a water bottle. The 36 size is known for being practical for daily use, and it may also fit a slim 13-inch laptop depending on the exact dimensions of your device and sleeve. We recommend comparing your item measurements with the bag measurements on this page for the best fit.
Q: Can this bag be carried on the shoulder? A: The Garden Party 36 has dual rolled handles and no detachable shoulder strap. Depending on your frame and outerwear, it may sit briefly on the shoulder, but it is primarily designed to be carried by hand or in the crook of the arm. The listed handle drop for this item is approximately 15 cm.
Q: Does the bag close securely? A: This model features a snap closure and the Garden Party line is appreciated for its easy-access opening. It is not a zip-top tote, so many owners prefer to keep smaller valuables in a pouch or organiser inside.
Q: What materials does this specific bag have? A: This particular piece features a brown leather exterior, silver-tone hardware, and a beige canvas lining. It is made in France.
Q: What does the Square P stamp mean? A: Hermès uses a blind-stamp system to indicate production year. A Square P stamp corresponds to 2012, so this bag dates from that year.
Q: What is included with this bag? A: No additional items are included with this listing. If something is not stated in the product information, it should be considered not included.
Q: What is the condition of this bag? A: This bag is listed in very good condition. It shows scuffing on the corners, light traces of use inside, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches.
Q: Is the Garden Party 36 a good everyday or work bag? A: Yes, the 36 is one of the most practical Garden Party sizes for everyday use, shopping, and work thanks to its roomy interior and understated design. It is especially appealing if you want a spacious tote without obvious branding, though it may be less ideal if you need a zipped top or a long shoulder strap for hands-free wear.
Q: How should I care for a vintage Hermès Garden Party bag? A: To help preserve it, store the bag lightly stuffed in a dust bag, avoid overfilling, and keep it away from prolonged moisture, heat, and direct sunlight. For routine care, gently wipe the leather with a soft, dry cloth and use an organiser if you want extra structure and protection for the lining.
