Do you like Hermes Garden party?

Hello!

This is my very first post here on TPF, I just recently had a baby and one of the unfortunate side-effect of being bed bound for a few months prior to her birth was the re-awakening of my luxury shopping habit :P I had the habit totally in control for awhile too, sigh...

Well, I've acquire quite a few items in the last few months and also have become quite a lurker on TPF. One of my dear friends is looking to unload her brand-new (literally carried once) Hermes garden party in orange. I believe the size is MM, though not positive. She has offered it to me as she knows I've been circling (and resisting) the siren call of Hermes...

Question;
1. Durability (I know it's an easy bag to use, and I was planning on using it as a work bag)
2. Is orange just too..... hermes? I went on a Chanel shopping binge and have 4 black Chanel bags and was looking for a fun color, but am getting a bit of cold feet.
3. Is orange easy to wear? I'm chinese descent and generally wear black/grey/neutral/nautically things...

Thanks for any advice ladies!
I am not generally an orange person. It is simply not a color I wear. However, I have found orange bags are wonderful. With neutral colors it adds a pop and when wearing a color it offers a nice contrast. I changes bags each month so whatever I am carrying goes out the door with whatever I have on and 98% of the time I feel orange works.

Have been eying garden parties, but don't own one yet.

For as much as I love orange H bags I feel orange on MM Garden Party too much due to the size and the structure of the bag.
 
Thank you ladies for your responses!! I really appreciate it.. I prolly will pass as I think my lifestyle is just too bland for such a colorful bag but sometimes resistance is futile!!! (I'm suppose to meet her next week for lunch and I'm sure we will talk about it again and I may cave :sad:

I think an orange garden party would be amazing with the colors in your wardrobe.
Orange is a fantastic color, Hermes signature color and the perfect pop for a neutral wardrobe.

Do not be afraid of orange. Embrace it!!!

Lol!!! I love the advice. As I wrote originally I had purchased four black chanel bags and I'm jot really liking how they r disappearing into my outfit: the flap bags are also super heavy and the chain is really hurting my shoulders. I think a colorful gp could solve my problems !

If you go on the Handbags and Purses forum and do a search on "orange bags" I seem to remember there's an old thread in which several members posted pics of their orange bags with various outfits. This may be helpful! :smile:
 
I am debating buying an orange GP. I am going to Crystals in Vegas for business in a month and I am hoping to see what they have.

A friend has the most adorable GP in Rose Lipstick. I want it! but I didn't know they ever even made that color?

Btw I saw a rouge piment at south coast plaza hermes about 10 days ago; it was such a beautiful color!!!
 
I asked this in the clubhouse thread but haven't had much of a response, so hopefully it's ok that I ask again here:

Ladies with a fjord GP: how is it holding up? Any slouch? I love the GP, but I sold my negondas because I'm not a fan of how soft the leather gets. Would love some insight on how fjord holds up on the MM size GP TIA!
