Having this 36cm Marron Dinde Garden Party for almost 5 years, I left it @ my mom’s and didn’t carry it much. My mom just kept it standing in her wardrobe...and here it becames.[emoji24][emoji24][emoji24]
Is it still recoverable?

Stuff it, shape it, snap it and use it. It won’t go back to looking brand new, but it’ll look much better over time.
There is something to be said for slouchy bags that look loved. I happen to like the look. This look means that the owner isn’t afraid to use it.
I like the color, the slouch and enjoy it! :love:

Yup, Negonda leather will soften like that! A bag organizer will help. If you’re in the US, Divide and Conquer on Etsy makes one that is pretty stiff and will help the bag hold its shape better. There is no way to get the structure back on its own, however.

Thanks! I really like this colour too, 4I Marron D’Inde TC, so saturated and goes along with most of my wardrobe. I am currently hanging it up side down, hoping it will get back to shape a little bit.

This one is clemence leather, having it stand created a lot of wrinkles. I am thinking of creaming and use a hair dryer to make it back to shape, felt risky.

Love this size and color. I saw a bleu electric in Negonda at my local store. Is Vache better for this bag? Are you in love with the electric bleu? Did you like any other blue?

Hi there. The electric blue is great. Looks good with black, denim, and I’m sure with white and tan when spring/summer comes. Re other blues, I have a bag in blue agate. I think there are a lot of amazing Hermes blues. Just try and picture yourself using the bag in whatever blue you want and see if you can imagine yourself working it in.

I only have Negonda leather in another color (étoupe) in a GP36. Negonda in the gp36 is way more floppy. Vache is thicker, more structured, holds its shape better. Vache works well for a smaller bag as it’s a heavier leather. I’m sure Negonda in a gp30 would be less floppy than in a gp36. I’ve also seen a gp30 in epsom and that looks good too.

Let us know what you get!

Thanks for responding and being so helpful! I am little discouraged by what little experience I have with this brand. I walk into Chanel, YSL, Ferragamo, LV and feel totally taken care of and the SA's always pleasant. At my local Hermes, by the time someone talked to me I was so uncomfortable I didn't ask all the right questions. They had two bags I was interested in when I went. The GP 30 in BE Negonda and the gris asphalt in Clemence. I called back to find out if they received any additional bags and they would only tell me if I named a specific color. They have gold too and the leather was unfamiliar to me. I fell in love with the BE. However, I tend not to wear my good bags in the summer because we are at the beach so much and I usually stick to bags that can take wear and tear of heat, etc. Anyway, so many blues I love but only BE around locally. I called Hermes in NYC because we are visiting in a few weeks and as of now they only have gold and vertigo (green). Question, by slouching of Negonda do you mean while bag is at rest on a table? It will start to sag? I wonder if certain leathers are more popular in certain regions. Thanks again. Still stumped on color. I love the gold but have so many LV'S and the color category the same. I have a black Burberry, black Celine Luggage tote and Channel Classic flap and WOC. . So def no more black!

Hi there. Just show those SAs who’s boss, ok? H is different, takes getting used to (the formality). Just keep on going into the store and you will be more comfortable with getting your garden party. If you love BE, get that. You could also get a non-gold neutral? I love Gris asphalt. Here is a picture of my GP36. I do not use a bag liner. I do store it with bubble wrap and a pillow inside to keep its shape.
