Hi Senbei,

The handle wraps are Love Handles from No Sacrifice Bags on Etsy. I've purchased many from Donna as I wear a lot of sunscreen or hand cream and they're washable! Highly recommend.
 
Also, to all my GP canvas owners - do you also have the all leather version? Which do you prefer?

I get so much wear out of my GP 30 canvas bag (same color combo as yours) that I just bought another one in navy with black leather trim. Since I live in SoFL, it's a daytime bag I can wear year round. I appreciate its lighter weight compared to the all leather GP version. I also wear a lot of B&W dresses and the canvas one works well for those.
 
Hello Everyone,
I want buy a Garden Party 36 and I would use it more like a carrier bag than a handbag. (ie: in the airplane for vacation, to go to a shopping journey, to go to work...you see my point :idea: )
What could you advise me between the full leather version or leather/canvas version ?
Thanks a lot :angel:

I think it depends on how much you baby your bags (or alternatively, how much you don’t mind seeing you bag beat up). Our Negonda leather gp36 has stood up pretty well to daily work use - but tbh we are still relatively babying types
 
I had gotten the garden party to be my every day work bag. I guess it depends on how much stuff do you carry daily—I usually bring a small laptop, ipad, coffee tumbler, wallets, and makeup bag, and they were too much for the bag too handle. The bottom and sides started to sag a bit (even with bag organizer).

I've several garden party (for years) and they are real work horses especially if you pick a color that wears well. I have a friend who used her gold gp36 to death; the outside stayed in remarkably good shape while the interior needed replacing. Once replaced, it was back in action as her go to bag.

I recommend on any H bags with fabric interiors to purchase an insert.

I would like to know too if I should get a leather or canvas Garden Party to be used as a schlepping bag!
 
Hi everyone! I just received my very own Garden Party 30 in Noir/Noir canvas. Does anyone have tips on keep the canvas free of lint/hair? I have an orange cat (the furriest) and wondering what I can do to keep his fur offf.

I’m so thrilled to join the club and can’t wait to start using this beauty.

Congrats on the new bag!

And same predicament! I have the 36 in noir canvas and a fluffy orange cat (featured in my profile pic too) and just added a mostly white kitten and am noticing a lot of fur. :lol:. This is my only non-leather H bag.

I've just been making sure to only place the canvas bag on my desk or counters and using a lint roller. Not sure what else can be done?

Hi, so I don't have a garden party bag but I do have some other black canvas/fabric bags and live with two cats so I definitely understand your dilemma! I just lightly tap my bags with a lint roller tape and I store my bags in a closed closet as soon as I get home. To be honest cat hair on my belongings is just a part of life and I don't worry about it.

Absolutely love your kitty in your profile pic btw! I also have a ginger cat!

Hi!

I have been eyeing a gold Garden Party 30 and was wondering if the bag is heavy at all? I'm assuming because it's leather there's a possibility it is?

Also, I noticed it doesn't have any feets on the bottom - does that become a bother?

Sorry if this was asked before - I'd appreciate any insight or direction on where to find this info. Thanks in advance!
