There are many benefits to the Garden Party.
Why a Hermes Garden Party?
Most people who have it, love the:
- Entry price into a Hermes Bag. While not cheap, it is still less compared to many of the other Hermes handbags.
- Structured shape, but it is still a tote. Giving it a multi-functional use.
- Inside fabric, keeping the bag lighter. You can also get an all-canvas Garden Party that just has leather trim. Many love the lighter feel and look for warmer climates or during the summer.
- Snaps on the side to give bag slimmer profile or kept open for carrying more stuff! (See the image below to see the difference.)
- Two handles that are rounded, thicker and stand upright (unless the bag is aged and then they can get a bit floopy.) Great for adding Twillies and charms!

Hermes Garden Party Leather/ Fabric
The Garden Party comes in all canvas with leather trim or in all leather which is usually Negonda leather. Although a friend has a Garden Party in Buffalo leather and another acquaintance with a vintage one in Fjord leather. I recently saw one on Hermes.com that was in Epsom. The bag doesn’t have ‘feet’ or metal studs on the bottom, so it is best not to place these bags on a floor.
Garden Party Sizes and Prices are as follows:
Hermes Garden Party Sizes
- Small (also known as “TPM” or “PM” or “Hermes Garden Party 30”)
- Medium (also known as “PM” or “MM” or “Hermes Garden Party 36”)
- Large (also known as “Hermes Garden Party 39”. Some will label it as a Garden Party GM)
The numbers after the name (example: Garden Party 30) reference the centimeters that Hermes uses for its bags. So a Garden Party 30 is 30cm long. In inches, that is about 12 inches long. Alternatively, a Garden Party 36 is 36cm in length or 14 inches. Please be aware that resellers often don’t know what they have or state they have a MM when really they have a PM. So focus more on the measurements and less on the title they give the bag.
