Perfect for back-to-work days and relaxed weekends, the Hermès Garden Party 36 lends effortless polish to any outfit. Crafted in beige canvas with brown leather trim and dual rolled handles, it offers a spacious main compartment with a snap closure to keep essentials secure—ideal for commutes, coffee runs and city strolls.
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: Will the Garden Party 36 fit a laptop and A4 documents? A: Yes. With approximate measurements of 36 × 25 × 18 cm, it comfortably fits most 13-inch and many slim 14-inch laptops placed horizontally, alongside A4 documents, a notebook and daily essentials. For a perfect fit, please compare your device’s case dimensions to the measurements on this page.
Q: Can it be worn on the shoulder? A: The Garden Party 36 can be carried by hand or in the crook of the arm, and for many it also fits over the shoulder. The handle drop is about 14 cm, so the shoulder fit is snug—great over light layers, but it may feel tight over a thick coat. There is no shoulder strap.
Q: How secure is the closure and what is the interior like? A: It features Hermès’ signature Clou de Selle snap fastening at the top for quick, practical access. This particular piece has one spacious main compartment as shown in the photos. Some Garden Party models have side snaps to cinch or expand the silhouette; use pouches for small items you want to keep extra secure.
Q: What is this bag made of and how does it wear day to day? A: This example is crafted from beige canvas with brown leather trim and silver-toned hardware. Canvas-and-leather Garden Party bags are known for being lighter and easy to carry compared with all‑leather versions, making them ideal for work and everyday use.
Q: Does the Garden Party 36 have feet or interior pockets? A: Designs can vary by season. This piece is shown with a spacious open interior and no additional pockets. Please review the detailed photos for the base and interior layout of this specific bag.
Q: What does the stamp Square M (2009) mean? A: Hermès uses a discreet date letter system stamped into the leather. A letter inside a square indicates the production year from 1997–2014; the letter M in a square corresponds to 2009.
Q: Is this bag made in France? A: Yes. Hermès Garden Party bags are crafted in France by Hermès artisans; this piece is marked France as its country of origin.
Q: How should I care for the canvas and leather trim? A: Wipe canvas gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth and let it air dry away from heat. Avoid colour transfer from dark denim. Nourish leather trim sparingly with a suitable leather conditioner if needed, and never use harsh chemicals. Store the bag loosely stuffed in a cool, dry place in a breathable cover, and keep it away from prolonged sunlight and moisture.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information. For this listing, there are no additional items included.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every piece at A Retro Tale is rigorously examined by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware engravings, stamps and date marks. We stand behind the authenticity of all items and can share further details on request.
