How hard is it to purchase a garden party 36? I need a new work bag that is undetectable in terms of luxury house, and I am considering the garden party. I would like to purchase in either black or etoupe. Thanks!!

I have had good luck with the RealReal, I bought my 36 in Noir there for exactly the same purpose It’s easier to stalk than the website where I never see any GP!

I have seen in some stores here in California as well
 
Hello lovely ladies, first time posting! I was wondering if you would be able to help. I’m looking to buy a Garden Party 30 in Etoupe Negonda leather but to my dismay, just before I swiped my credit card, I noticed that the interior of the bag (which is obviously cloth) has some fluffing / loose thread? My SA told me that’s quite normal with toile but I was wondering if you ladies have had the same experience? Thanks!

I had minimal fluffing, but it didn’t look like someone used it. No loose threads. Does it look like a return?
 
Hi ladies, are you able to shoulder carry a GP30?

Which leather holds the shape better?

I think shoulder carrying a GP 30 would be difficult unless you are an extremely tiny person. As for leather, I have found that vache country holds it's shape better, but negonda is lighter. Not sure if they still makes GPs in epsom but if they do, perhaps they hold their shape well also. GP 36s in negonda definitely develop a slouch to them that vache country does not. Since the 30s are just smaller overall I think the slouching is less obvious.

Hi dear PF experts, I need your advice.

I bought a Garden Party 36 on the H website a few days ago. I’ve noticed the middle (main) snap button is quite noisy and loud when not closed. This is quite obvious when just walking around, but even more so when driving; the vibration from the car and road makes the snap button make a constant noise. Is this normal? What would you advise I do?

Here’s a short video to give you an idea of what it sounds like.
