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 inside the Hermès Garden Party 36? A: As a mid-sized tote (approx. 36 × 26 × 17–18 cm), it comfortably holds a 13-inch laptop, A4 documents, a water bottle, a long wallet, a cosmetics pouch and other daily essentials. Capacity will vary with how you pack—please refer to the Measurements on this page for this exact piece.
Q: Is it a good work bag and can it be worn on the shoulder? A: Many use the 36 as a work tote thanks to its roomy interior. The handle drop on this piece is about 15 cm, so shoulder carry can feel snug for some; it is most often hand‑carried or worn in the crook of the arm.
Q: How does the closure work and can the capacity be expanded? A: It secures with a central Clou de Selle snap. The side snaps at the gussets can be fastened for a neater profile or released to increase capacity when you need extra space.
Q: What materials does the Garden Party come in, and what is this one? A: The Garden Party is produced either in full leather (often Negonda calfskin) or in durable canvas reinforced with leather trim. This specific bag is orange canvas with tan leather trim and silver‑tone hardware, as shown in our photos.
Q: Does the Garden Party 36 have interior pockets? A: Many versions include a single interior zip pocket, but interior layouts can vary by year and material. Please check our photography for the exact configuration of this piece.
Q: Are there metal feet on the base? A: Most Garden Party totes are made without metal feet. We recommend avoiding placing it on the floor and using a bag organiser if you prefer added structure and protection.
Q: Is the Garden Party 36 suitable as an airline carry‑on? A: The 36 is commonly used as a personal item for travel and typically fits under seats or in overhead bins. Airline rules differ by carrier and aircraft, so please confirm current cabin baggage allowances with your airline.
Q: How should I care for the canvas and leather trim? A: Wipe the canvas gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth and allow it to air‑dry away from heat. For the leather trim, buff with a clean dry cloth after use and condition sparingly with a suitable leather care product when needed. Keep away from heavy rain, oils, dyes and overfilling, and store loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag to maintain shape.
Q: What does the date stamp I in a square indicate? A: Hermès’ blind stamp I inside a square denotes production in 2005.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This listing includes the bag as pictured. Everything included is detailed under the product information on this page; if an item such as a dust bag or pouch is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is examined by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware and stamps. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide further details on request.
