Negonda Neo Garden 23 Beton

The Hermès Neo Garden 23 in Beton Negonda Leather is a modern, compact evolution of the classic Garden Party tote, introduced as part of the house’s shift toward smaller, more versatile “mini” bags. This specific 23 cm model, often referred to as the “Neo Garden,” features a contemporary structure with enlarged leather strips on the sides and back, offering a refined urban aesthetic.

Core Design & Material Construction

• Material (Negonda Leather): Crafted from Veau Negonda, a matte calfskin obtained through a specialized shrinking process. This treatment accentuates the leather’s natural characteristics, resulting in a firm, irregular grain that is highly resistant to scratches and water.

• Color (Beton): A light, sophisticated off-white/light grey (Color Code: 8L) inspired by the color of concrete, offering a cooler alternative to warmer neutrals like Craie.

• Hardware: This specific model is adorned with Palladium-plated (silver-tone) hardware. This includes the signature “Clou de Selle” snap closures on the front and sides, which allow the bag’s capacity to be adjusted.

• Interior Lining: The bag is lined with durable herringbone (Chevron) canvas, maintaining the collection’s sporty heritage.

Specifications & Utility

• Dimensions: Approximately 23 cm L x 15 cm H x 9.5 cm D (roughly 9″ x 6″ x 3.7″).

• Handle Drop: Features dual rolled leather handles with a drop of approximately 10.5 cm to 12 cm (approx. 4.7 inches).

• Capacity: Despite its petite size, the “23” is designed to fit daily essentials such as a smartphone, a compact or long wallet (placed horizontally), and a small cosmetic pouch.

• Functional Detail: The Neo Garden 23 provides a more structured feel than the standard TPM (30 cm) due to the enlarged leather reinforcements on its exterior.
