HermèsToile & Negonda Garden Party 36 Tote Bag

Q: What is this Hermès Garden Party 36 made from?
A: This black tote combines toile canvas with Negonda leather trim. Negonda is a grained calfskin, so this is a canvas-and-leather version rather than an all-leather Garden Party.

Q: What are the measurements of this particular bag?
A: This bag measures approximately 39 cm wide, 25 cm high and 17 cm deep. Although its model name is Garden Party 36, use these item-specific measurements when assessing its size.

Q: What can I carry inside the Garden Party 36?
A: Its generous tote proportions offer room for everyday essentials such as a phone, purse, keys, a small cosmetics pouch and a notebook. The available space depends on the size of your belongings and how you pack them; avoid overfilling the bag.

Q: Will this bag fit a laptop?
A: A compact laptop may fit, but laptop compatibility has not been confirmed for this particular item. Compare your device, including its protective sleeve, with the listed measurements of 39 × 25 × 17 cm. These are external dimensions, so allow for a smaller usable interior and opening.

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 shoulder comfort depends on your build and clothing, particularly when wearing a thick coat. The listed handle measurement for this item is 15 cm. No separate shoulder strap is included.

Q: Does the Garden Party have a zip closure?
A: The Garden Party uses a press-stud closure rather than a zip fastening. Its side press studs allow the opening to expand or become more compact, but the top is not fully enclosed like a zipped tote.

Q: What condition is this vintage bag in?
A: This item is in good pre-owned condition. The exterior has minor scuffs on the corners and light signs of wear on the canvas. The interior shows light traces of use, while the hardware remains shiny with light scratches.

Q: What does the Square G stamp mean, and where was the bag made?
A: The product information identifies the Square G date stamp as 2003 and lists France as the country of origin. The date stamp indicates the production year; it is not, on its own, proof of authenticity.

Q: Are a dust bag, box or other accessories included?
A: No accessories are included with this item, so it does not come with a dust bag, box or separate shoulder strap. Please refer to the product information for the confirmed inclusions.

Q: How should I care for the canvas and leather?
A: Gently remove loose surface dust with a soft, dry cloth, without scrubbing. Avoid soaking the canvas or applying harsh cleaners, alcohol or oils to the leather. Protect the bag from rain, direct heat and prolonged sunlight, and consult a specialist for persistent stains or cleaning of the vintage canvas.
