Thinking About the Hermes Garden Party? Read This Before You Buy

So why do we love the Hermès Garden Party bag?

It’s because it’s so simple. It’s understated. No big logos or embellishments, just a low key design for those who like their bags to be quiet.

Of course, the quality is top notch, like everything Hermès makes. The design is versatile with so many colors, finishes, and sizes, so you’ll find one to suit your style.

And while it’s still a luxury piece, it’s not as expensive as some of their other bags, so it’s a great way to test the waters without breaking the bank. The canvas versions are really durable.

 

Hermès Garden Party History

The Hermès Garden Party was first launched back in 1964, at a time when the fashion world was starting to lean into more minimalist, practical designs. Hermès, already famous for its craftsmanship and timeless style, created the Garden Party as a simple, elegant tote that could handle day-to-day life.

While a lot of designer bags were flashy and full of logos, the Garden Party kept things clean and understated. No loud branding, just beautiful materials, great structure, and that classic Hermès quality. It’s the kind of bag that quietly stands out without trying too hard.

Over the years, it’s become one of Hermès’ most loved bags. People love how versatile it is. You can take it to work, on a trip, or just out for coffee, and it always looks right.

 

Design Details of the Hermès Garden Party Tote

The Garden Party bag has been around for decades, and it’s still just as stylish today. That’s what makes it a true classic.

It has loads of room inside. The soft slouchy shape means you can fit all your essentials in and since there’s no top flap, you can stuff a bit extra in if you need to.

And the best part: the Clou de Selle snap system. It holds the sides of the bag together so the opening is more compact while the base is wider. But if you need more space, you can unsnap it and open the bag up even more.

And let’s not forget the interior zip pocket and canvas lining.

Hermès Garden Party Tote Materials

The Garden Party Tote comes in two main styles: all leather and canvas with leather trim. If you want sleek and timeless, go all leather. If you want laid back and durable, go canvas.

The canvas bags have a canvas body with leather handles and trim. You’ll find them in Officier and Military Canvas, both of which are pretty durable.

The leather ones usually use Negonda leather, which is soft, supple and matte finish. It’s also water resistant so it’s a good choice since totes get a lot of wear and tear.

There are also some styles in Epsom calfskin and Country cowhide—a leather developed specifically for the Garden Party. This leather has a more relaxed, sporty vibe, perfect for a busy on-the-go lifestyle.

No matter which style you choose, the inside is always canvas. This makes the bag more practical and helps keep the price a little more friendly compared to other Hermès bags with leather linings.

 

Hermès Garden Party Sizes: What Fits

The Hermès Garden Party comes in three main sizes:

SizeModelDimensions (CM)Dimensions (IN)
Small
Medium
Large		Garden Party 30
Garden Party 36
Garden Party 49 Voyage		30 x 21 x 13
36 x 26 x 17
49 x 36 x 25		11.8 x 8.3 x 5.1
14.2 x 10.2 x 6.7
19.3 x 14.2 x 10

The Garden Party 49 Voyage is the largest size and great for travel. You can fit a laptop, clothes and a few days’ worth of essentials.

The Garden Party 30 is a daily bag and ideal for work or commuting. It’s spacious enough to fit a small iPad, perfect for those daily office runs.

The Garden Party 36 is a bit larger and can easily carry a laptop, files, or even serve as a diaper bag for moms.

And if you want something super compact but still chic, there’s also a Mini, which was released in 2024. This is about the size of a small clutch or large wallet—9” x 6” x 4”/23 x 15 x 10 cm.

The Mini Garden Party seems like a cute bag at first sight, but its capacity is surprisingly impressive. After fitting in a wallet, keys, and two Pro Max phones, it still wasn’t even half full. Add a few cosmetics, and there’s no problem fitting them in. It’s more than enough for daily use.

If you choose the canvas version, the empty bag weighs about the same as an apple, so you won’t feel it at all when you carry it around. Perfect for casual outings or meet-ups with friends.

Hermès Garden Party Colors

Even though the Garden Party has a minimalist design, its color options are far from boring. In fact, it’s one of the best entry-level Hermès bags to experiment with different colors.

Besides the always-popular shades like Etoupe, Gold, Black, and Rouge H, there are a few other colors that are just as timeless and easy to match.

  • Beige de Weimar – A soft, warm beige that goes with everything. Understated but elegant.
  • Blanc – A clean, crisp white that feels fresh and modern. Perfect for summer or all-white looks.
  • Bougainvillier – A bold, pinky-red that adds a fun pop of color without being too loud.
  • Orange – Hermès’ signature color. Bright, happy, and instantly recognizable.

Special Edition Hermès Garden Party

Although the Hermès Garden Party is like a classic everyday tote, Hermès has also released some stunning limited and special editions over the years. Each one has its own unique character.

Hermès Garden Party Picnic Bag made of wicker and green Swift leather

Picnic Garden Party – this version is one of Hermès’ most anticipated spring/summer releases each year, and for good reason!

It’s crafted with a mix of natural Osier wicker and Swift leather, blending nature with refined style. It literally looks like a luxurious French picnic basket. Charming, artistic, and full of character.

Hermès Garden Party bag in Toile H Plume canvas with leather trim

For travelers or those who love a roomier bag, this Garden Party Voyage 49 is a must-see. The main body is made from lightweight Toile H Plume canvas, so it’s soft but structured.

It features the iconic Panoplie Cavalere equestrian print, celebrating Hermès’ horse-riding heritage. Finished with durable Negonda leather for the handles and base, giving it strength and luxury.

Hermès Garden Party tote in Tigre Royale printed canvas and brown leather

If you’re into statement pieces, this one is a showstopper. The Garden Party in Tigre Royale Toile.

The bold tiger print is taken from Hermès’ iconic Tigre Royale scarf design, it feels powerful and artistic at the same time. Paired with Marron d’Inde brown Negonda leather and shiny palladium hardware, it strikes the perfect balance between wild and refined.

 

Is It Hard to Get An Hermès Garden Party Bag?

The Garden Party isn’t a quota bag so it’s easier to get than the Birkin or Kelly. In theory, you can walk into an Hermès store and buy it if they have it in stock.

If you’re lucky, you might even find it on Hermès.com, where you can order it online. Currently, you can find the Garden Party 49 Voyage in Canvas on their website.

But availability can still vary depending on the size, material and color you’re looking for. Like the Mini Garden Party is pretty hard to get these days.

While it’s easier to get than some of the more exclusive Hermès bags, it’s still a good idea to check regularly or visit a boutique to see what’s in stock.

 

How Much Does the Hermès Garden Party Cost?

The price of an Hermès Garden Party bag depends on the size and material. The canvas ones are more affordable than the all-leather ones.

Right now, a canvas Garden Party 49 Voyage is listed on Hermès’ website for $5,600. (Update: After the second price increase this year, it has risen to $5,900. Another version with the “Teddy H” motif is priced at $7,350)

A pre-owned leather Garden Party 36 can be found between $3,000 and $4,700, depending on the leather and color. The smaller Garden Party 30 goes for around $3,000 but some rare or special leather can go up to $5,000 or $6,000.

With mini bags being all the rage, and the Mini Garden Party only launching last year, it’s still hard to get your hands on one. There isn’t much stock even on the resale market.

 

Garden Party Bag Pros and Cons

Pros:

  • The Garden Party is super useful – big enough to fit everything and more, so perfect for work or weekend getaways.
  • Simple and elegant design is timeless, so works for formal events or everyday errands.
  • The open top makes it easy to grab what you need quickly, a huge bonus when you’re on the go.

Cons:

  • Downside is the leather version can feel heavy if you’re carrying it for a long time.
  • And since there’s no zipper, there’s a chance things will fall out if you’re not careful.
