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 in the Garden Party 36? A: With measurements of approximately 37 × 25 × 17 cm, it comfortably holds a 13-inch laptop, A4 documents, a long wallet, a water bottle, a makeup pouch and daily essentials. Capacity varies with how you pack, so please refer to the Measurements and product photos for guidance.
Q: Will a 13-inch laptop fit and is it suitable for work? A: Yes, most 13-inch laptops fit easily. Many people use the 36 as a work tote for its roomy interior and understated look. If carrying a laptop and other heavy items, consider a protective sleeve and be mindful of total weight for comfort.
Q: Can it be worn on the shoulder? A: The bag is designed primarily for hand or crook-of-arm carry. The handle drop on this piece is about 16 cm, so some users can slip it over the shoulder, though it may be snug depending on build and how full the bag is.
Q: How secure is the closure? A: The Garden Party features a central Clou de Selle snap and additional side snaps. When fastened, they keep contents tidy; when unfastened, they expand capacity. There is no top zip, so for small valuables we recommend using a pouch inside.
Q: Does this version have interior pockets? A: Most Negonda leather Garden Party 36 bags include one interior zip pocket in the canvas-lined compartment. Interior layouts can vary by production; please check our photos to confirm the pocket configuration of this exact piece.
Q: What is Negonda leather and how should I care for it? A: Negonda is a naturally shrunken, large-grain calfskin known for its soft hand, durability and good resistance to everyday wear. Wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth, let it dry naturally, avoid prolonged rain or heat, and store stuffed in a breathable dust bag. Use conditioner sparingly and avoid harsh cleaners.
Q: Is the all-leather Garden Party heavier than canvas versions? A: Generally yes. Full-leather models like this Negonda version feel more substantial than canvas-trim styles, which many find lighter for all-day carry. If you pack a laptop and extras, the load can become noticeably heavy—an insert can help distribute weight and maintain shape.
Q: What does the stamp square K (2007) mean? A: Hermès uses a year code in a small shape known as a blind stamp. A letter K inside a square indicates the bag was produced in 2007. The stamp is one of several authenticity checkpoints used alongside materials, stitching and heat stamps.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information on this page. If an item such as a dust bag or rain cover is not listed there, it is not included with this piece.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this bag? A: Every item is vetted by our in-house experts using multi-point checks across materials, stitching, hardware, heat stamps, blind stamps and overall construction. We stand behind the authenticity of all items and are happy to provide further details on request.
