I love the bag! Is that Rouge H? The contrast stitching is great! I usually tie a twilly on one handle just for decoration. Also I have found that the handles of a Garden Party made with Negonda leather are unusually soft and my twilly tends to keep coming loose. I rotate my bags often and don't worry too much about protecting the handles. I am just mindful of keeping all of my Hermes bags away from anything that could stain them and not setting them down on any unclean surface - especially the GP as it has no metal feet.

Yes it is Rouge H, and thank you for the tips!!

I purchased this 36 epsom gp in rose bubblegum(?) for travel. I’m on the fence about this pink and the feel. I’m a pink person but this one is pepto-pink! Ive also discovered that I don’t like epsom! I thought it would feel more like Chanel’s caviar and this one doesn’t come close to my caviars feel! It feels rough like canvas! I’m sure I can make it work this summer since I wear white and florals . I like the size!

It's actually really pretty! and seeing it side by side, the Pepto is a little stronger color. I'd like to try an Epsom GP. It's fairly light, no?

In the pics it does look more light pink, and not as bright. But yes not as strong as the pepto. I’m probably going to keep it. I think the brightness is growing on me and it will take me some time to get use to the feel of it.

It’s a very light bag! The only thing that I have to compare it to is my MM MF in epi and the gp feels lighter than my nf! I have a Birkin 30 in Togo that’s much heavier than the gp for sure! Now that I think about it I’m going to go weigh them all!

I'm considering getting a garden party, and I was wondering is this a durable bag that can reasonably be used everyday with some roughness? (heavier items, water bottles, bag thrown onto the floor) Also, how heavy is the bag and is it possible to customize with a strap?

It’s a great everyday bag. I had a water bottle in mine yesterday. I’m not rough with it, not precious with it either and it’s still looking good. I think if you overload it with heavy stuff the handles might get stretched but I carry books regularly without issue.

thank you! I have an Epsom Evelyne tpm, very light weight but I would worry about scratches in a GP.
Anyone know who Country leather compares in weight to Nagonda?

I have multiple GPs in both 30 and 36 in both Negonda and Vache Country and I do believe that Negonda is significantly lighter. However it also seems to get slouchy much more quickly so I suppose you need to decide which is more important to you.

Can anyone share info on the Garden Party Zip? I’ve been trying to research it but can’t find a lot of information. I feel like this was limited in production but I do not know the dates. Is there anyone who has this bag and loves it, as compared to the GP 36? Thanks!
