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 medium tote (approx. 36 × 25 × 17 cm), it comfortably holds a 13-inch laptop, A4 documents, a long wallet, phone, keys, a small cosmetics pouch, a scarf and a 500 ml water bottle. Slim 14-inch laptops may also fit depending on the sleeve and how you pack. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: Can it be worn on the shoulder? A: Yes, many users carry the 36 over the shoulder. This piece has dual rolled leather handles with an approx. 15 cm drop, making shoulder carry feasible for most, though bulky outerwear may reduce clearance.
Q: How does the closure work and can capacity be adjusted? A: The Garden Party features a central snap-button closure and side snaps. Fasten the sides for a neat, structured silhouette; unfasten them to expand the interior when you need extra room for larger items.
Q: Does this vintage canvas version have interior pockets? A: This specific bag has an unlined interior with no built-in pockets. Some later or all-leather Garden Party versions include a small zipped pocket. Many owners add a lightweight organiser to create compartments and protect the base.
Q: How does the 36 compare to other Garden Party sizes? A: The 36 (often called Medium) offers notably more capacity than the 30 while remaining easy to carry daily. It is a popular choice for work because it fits documents and a laptop without feeling oversized.
Q: What does the stamp Square F (2002) mean? A: Hermès bags carry a blind stamp indicating the production year. The letter F inside a square corresponds to 2002, so Square F confirms this piece was crafted in 2002. The origin on this bag is France.
Q: How should I care for the beige canvas and brown leather trim? A: Gently brush canvas with a soft, dry brush and spot-clean with a barely damp cloth; avoid harsh chemicals. Keep away from dark denim or freshly dyed fabrics to minimise colour transfer. For the leather trim, wipe with a soft cloth, let any moisture dry naturally, and condition sparingly with an appropriate leather product. Store loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag, away from heat and direct sunlight.
Q: Does the Garden Party have protective feet? A: No, the Garden Party typically has a smooth base without metal feet. Place it on clean surfaces and consider a removable organiser or base shaper to help keep the bottom structured and clean.
Q: Is the Garden Party 36 suitable for work and short trips? A: Absolutely. Its open interior, side snaps and robust canvas-with-leather-trim construction make it a versatile tote for commuting, meetings and weekends. It balances practicality with understated Hermès craftsmanship.
Q: What accessories are included and do Hermès bags come with authenticity cards? A: Everything included is listed under Accessories; this item comes with a dust bag. Hermès does not issue authenticity cards—authenticity is verified through craftsmanship details and the Hermès blind stamp. Every item at A Retro Tale is thoroughly authenticated by our in-house experts.
