The Hermès Neo Garden 23 in H Viking Canvas and Negonda Leather (Ecru/Beige/Ebene) is a contemporary, scaled-down iteration of the classic Garden Party tote, released as part of the “Neo Garden” line. This model offers a more structured silhouette than the traditional version, featuring enlarged leather strips on the sides and back.
Core Design & Material Composition
-
Canvas (H Viking): The main body is crafted from Ecru/Beige H Viking canvas, a durable and textured fabric that provides a “sporty-chic” look.
-
Leather (Negonda): The base, top rolled handles, and vertical reinforcement strips are made of Ebene (Dark Brown) Negonda calfskin. Negonda is a matte, deeply grained leather known for its “comforting” dry feel and irregular firm grain.
-
Neo Structure: Unlike the standard Garden Party, the Neo Garden features a more modern, architectural frame with wider leather banding.
-
Hardware: Typically finished with Palladium-plated (silver-tone) Clou de Selle snap closures on the sides to adjust the bag’s capacity and opening.
