If you have wanted to own an Hermes bag, this is the perfect starter bag! It is one of HERMES’ staple pieces. I took TONS of pictures, so be sure to look at them carefully; this bag is almost perfect! This is an authentic HERMES Negonda Garden Party 36 MM in Bougainvillea; a beautiful red with a brightness to it that draws the eye wherever you go. This sophisticated tote is crafted of luxurious Negonda leather with contrasting stitching in white. While this bag can be listed as “red”, the specific HERMES color is Bougainvillea. Negonda leather is characterized by large grains and a medium hardness; it is tough and resistant. The Garden Party opens and adjusts to whatever's inside thanks to the ingenious "clou de selle" snap buttons in palladium silver, that opens to a spacious ivory fabric interior with a zipper pocket. This bag comes with a Certificate of Authenticity, and is graded an A, which is considered EXCELLENT. It has no obvious stains or marks on the interior, the handles show no cracking or wear, and no marks from body oils. There is one very small mark (approx 3mm, or approx 1/8 x 1/16 an inch) on the bottom corner, which can’t be seen when the bag is upright. I took a multitude of pictures, please look at them carefully as they will show the excellent condition of this bag, along with the mar indicated. Overall, if you are looking for an affordable Hermes Tote bag, then the Hermes garden party bag is perfect for you. And feel free to make an offer!
