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 of this Garden Party 36? A: This item measures approximately 36 × 25 × 17 cm. As Hermès pieces are handmade, slight variations are normal. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for the exact dimensions of this bag.
Q: What typically fits inside the Garden Party 36? A: As a practical everyday tote, it comfortably holds an A4 folder, a 13-inch laptop, and daily essentials such as a wallet, phone, water bottle and a small pouch. Many users also fit a slim 14-inch laptop, depending on the case and organiser used. Capacity will vary with how you pack.
Q: Does it close fully and can the sides expand? A: The Garden Party line features side snaps (Clou de Selle) to cinch or expand the silhouette. Many versions also include a central snap at the opening; please check this listing’s photos to confirm the exact configuration. This piece has expandable sides with snap closure.
Q: Is the interior lined or are there pockets? A: This particular bag has an unlined interior with one open compartment. Some all‑leather versions include a zipped pocket, but this one does not.
Q: Can it be worn on the shoulder? A: It is primarily designed to be carried by hand or in the crook of the arm, though many wear the 36 over the shoulder depending on build and layers. The handle drop on this piece is about 15 cm; we recommend comparing with your own measurement for comfort.
Q: What are Toile canvas and Negonda leather? A: Toile is a sturdy Hermès canvas, while Negonda is a grained calfskin with a matte look known for durability and resistance to everyday wear and light moisture. The mix makes this style lighter than the all‑leather Garden Party.
Q: How should I care for the materials? A: For canvas, dust regularly and spot‑clean gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth; avoid vigorous rubbing and colour transfer from dark textiles. For Negonda leather, wipe with a soft dry cloth after use, keep away from prolonged sunlight, heat and rain, and store stuffed in its dust bag in a cool, dry place. Avoid harsh cleaners and oils; if the bag gets damp, allow it to air‑dry naturally.
Q: Is the Garden Party 36 suitable for work or travel? A: Yes. The 36 size is popular for work because it fits documents and most 13-inch laptops, and the side snaps let you expand capacity when needed. Many owners add a lightweight organiser to protect the interior and keep items upright.
Q: How is authenticity verified and where is the Hermès stamp? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously authenticated by our in‑house experts. Hermès bags bear a blind stamp indicating the production year and artisan; on the Garden Party it is typically embossed on an inner leather strip. We can provide further product information on request.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed in the product information section. For this bag, the product information shows a dust bag. If an item is not listed there, it is not included.
