The Hermès Garden Party 36 (MM) in Bordeaux Negonda Leather is a sophisticated, larger-format tote that transitions seamlessly from a professional environment to a casual weekend getaway. This “non-quota” model is celebrated for its understated, “quiet luxury” aesthetic and the resilience of its all-leather construction.
Core Design & Material Composition
-
Material (Negonda Calfskin): Crafted from Negonda, a male calf leather known for its large, natural grain and matte finish. It is highly durable, water-resistant, and maintains its structure better than softer leathers like Clemence.
-
Color (Bordeaux): A rich, deep burgundy red that serves as a sophisticated alternative to traditional neutrals like Noir or Gold.
-
Hardware: This model is finished with Palladium-plated (silver-color) hardware, including the signature Clou de Selle snap closure at the top and side snaps.
-
Handles: Features double rolled leather handles with a drop of approximately 14 cm (5.5 inches), designed primarily for handheld or forearm carry, though they can often be slipped over the shoulder for hands-free use.
Specifications & Functionality
-
Dimensions: Approximately 36 cm L x 26 cm H x 17–18 cm D (roughly 14.2″ x 10.2″ x 6.7″).
-
Interior: Lined in a tonal or beige herringbone (Toile H) fabric with a matching leather base. It includes one functional zippered interior pocket for securing smaller valuables.
-
Capacity: The “MM” size is specifically popular for its ability to perfectly fit A4 documents, folders, and most standard laptops, making it an ideal business or travel bag.
-
Adjustable Silhouette: The side snap buttons allow you to expand the bag for extra capacity or taper the top for a more structured, triangular look.
