A refined choice for city days and dinners, this vintage Hermès Neo Garden 23 in black grained leather with silver‑tone hardware complements tailored looks and off‑duty denim alike. Ideal for work meetings, gallery visits or a chic lunch, it keeps essentials neatly to hand while adding timeless Hermès elegance.
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 are the measurements and what typically fits inside the Neo Garden 23? A: The bag measures approximately 23 x 16 x 10 cm. It comfortably holds a smartphone, compact wallet or card holder, keys, sunglasses and a few small cosmetics. A slim 7.9-inch tablet may fit if placed sideways and without a bulky case. Capacity varies by how you pack—please refer to the Measurements on this page for the exact dimensions.
Q: How is the Neo Garden 23 carried? Does it have a shoulder strap? A: It is a hand‑carry top‑handle bag with dual rolled handles. The Neo Garden 23 does not come with a shoulder strap and does not have dedicated rings for cross‑body wear.
Q: How secure is the opening? A: It closes with a central Clou de Selle snap. Side snaps on the gussets let you tighten or widen the opening and slightly adjust capacity. For travel, we recommend keeping valuables in the internal pocket and using small pouches inside for added organisation.
Q: What materials and hardware does this model use? A: The Neo Garden 23 is typically crafted in H Viking canvas with Negonda calfskin trim, or as an all‑leather version. Hardware is usually palladium‑finish (silver‑tone) or gold‑tone. This piece is black grained leather with silver‑tone hardware and a contrasting patterned fabric lining.
Q: How does the Neo Garden 23 compare with the Garden Party 30? A: The Neo Garden 23 is the compact, hand‑carry take on the Garden Party concept—ideal for daily essentials. The Garden Party 30 remains roomier for everyday tote use. Both share the minimalist interior and snap closure, but the 23 prioritises a smaller footprint and lighter carry.
Q: Is the interior lined and are there pockets? A: Yes. This piece has a textile lining and one internal pocket. Neo Garden 23 interiors are intentionally simple; depending on the specific configuration and season, some examples feature a slip or zip pocket.
Q: Is the Neo Garden 23 structured or soft? A: It has a more contemporary, slightly more structured build than the classic Garden Party thanks to enlarged side and back strips, yet it remains supple and comfortable for daily use. It stands neatly when lightly filled.
Q: How should I care for Negonda leather and the lining? A: Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after use. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture, oils and direct sunlight/heat. Store the bag lightly stuffed in a breathable dust bag in a cool, dry place; do not overfill, and rotate use to minimise wear. For deep cleaning or repairs, consult a professional care service.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed in the product information section of this page. For this piece, no additional items are included unless explicitly stated there.
Q: What does the Hermès blind stamp mean on this bag? A: Hermès uses a letter‑and‑shape code to indicate production year. For example, a square I stamp corresponds to the year 2005. The stamp is one of several checkpoints our experts review during authentication, alongside materials, stitching, hardware and heat stamps.
