I use a canvas 36 daily (as pictured below). I chose canvas for the weight because I carry my laptop, lunch, water, wallet... everything in it. Oh and I don't love the sag of the full leather on the larger GP. I'd probably opt for full leather for a 30 just because I love the aesthetic of the all leather lil bag lol.

May I join the garden party club now? GP30 Negonda Rose Pourpre. Can someone put a negonda and Vache country side by side ? I saw and touched a vache country 36 in same color briefly but I feel the VaChe country is shinier and richer in pink.

As you mentioned you use this as an everyday work bag, are you able to put it on your shoulder? I've seen conflicting reports as the size of 36 handle is about 5.5. Thank you!
No, I exclusively use it as a handheld tote. It would be uncomfortable on my shoulder.
Snapped a quick pic for reference. I’m 5’4”. It’s not the most comfortable way to wear it but it’s possible if needed (which was the decider for me).
Loving my bleu indigo GP30 as my work bag
been wanting this bag for years but never really got round to pulling the trigger. But here she is finally, my GP 30 in etoupe negonda
I prefer the second for the color. I love my GP 36 in VC but it’s more structured and heavier than Negonda, if that matters to you. Good luck deciding!View attachment 5953280View attachment 5953281
Trying to decide between these two colours/leathers for my first GP! I'm hoping to use it as a general tote and carry-on bag. First bag is Vache Country and second is Negonda - any advice on the leathers/colours would be appreciated!
Here's the dedicated thread to Garden Party, so you'll hopefully find this helpful.
@EANS I'm answering your question here.
I've only used it twice (Its a recent purchase) I find it very lightweight.
I think the fabric lining really keeps the weight down, it seems to weigh very little compared to my other Hermes bags and the handles and comftable in the hand when its full of 'stuff'.
I have other non H bags like The Chloe Edith that although fabric lined is very heavy (Its a pretty thick leather) and the thick handle means it can get pretty uncomftable when the bag is full and hand carried, The GP is'nt like that.
One thing your friend should note is that the handles are too short to go over the shoulder when wearing a coat.
Hope this helps!
I'm very happy with it, it feels durable, chic, minimalist in design But still Classic Hermes.
