Are you letting your Hermès Garden Party bag sit unused?
The Garden Party is one of Hermès’ classic models, and depending on its material, color, and size, it can command a surprisingly high resale value. In recent years, all-leather versions have become especially sought-after, making now a great time to consider parting with your bag while its value remains strong.
In this article, we’ll break down the original retail prices and current resale values of the Garden Party by size and material. We’ll also share key tips for maximizing your appraisal and offer insights into choosing the best place to sell for the highest return.
If you're unsure about selling, start by discovering how much your Garden Party is worth today.
The resale value of a Hermès Garden Party bag can vary significantly depending on its size and material.
In particular, all-leather versions made from Negonda leather are especially popular for their luxurious appearance and structured silhouette, and often fetch higher prices on the secondhand market.
Below is an overview of estimated resale prices and retail prices as of 2025, categorized by size and material.
Prices listed above are reference values only. Actual resale quotes may vary depending on condition, color, leather type, and other factors. Retail prices reflect estimates at the time of publication.
Popular colors such as Noir (Black), Etoupe, and newer date stamps like "K" and "W" tend to receive higher appraisals.
Garden Party bags generally fall into two main material types:
Canvas × Leather and All-Leather (e.g., Negonda) — and this distinction plays a major role in resale pricing.
Ratings reflect market trends as of 2025.
Negonda leather versions have higher retail prices and enjoy steady popularity in the resale market. As a result, their buyback prices are generally higher.
In particular, all-leather bags in Noir, Etoupe, or Gold tend to command premium appraisals.
The Hermès Garden Party is a highly sought-after model, which means that even small differences in condition or specifications can greatly impact its resale value. By keeping the following three points in mind, you can increase your chances of receiving a higher appraisal.
Condition is one of the most important factors in any luxury bag appraisal. The following types of wear or damage may lead to a price reduction:
Because the Garden Party is known for its structured silhouette, maintaining its original shape is particularly important and can lead to a higher appraisal.
Accessories may seem minor, but they can make a difference in resale value. The following items are especially valuable when included:
Even if the bag itself is in excellent condition, missing accessories can result in a reduced appraisal. Whenever possible, gather all original items before requesting a quote.
With Hermès bags, both color and date stamp (indicating the year of manufacture) can significantly affect market value.
Newer models like the Néo Garden 23 with recent date stamps (e.g., W or K) tend to hold stronger market value. If the condition is excellent, they are often appraised more favorably.
When it comes to popular Hermès models like the Garden Party, the resale value can vary significantly depending on where you choose to sell.
In addition to general resale chains like Daikokuya or Nanboya, more specialized Hermès boutiques and international resellers have emerged in recent years.
In today’s market, where you sell directly impacts how much you get.
Here, we’ll explain how to evaluate potential resale shops and share smart ways to get the best offer.
The appraisal amount—and the reasoning behind it—can vary greatly depending on the buyer.
A specialist with in-depth knowledge of Hermès leathers, stamps, and color trends is better positioned to evaluate the true value of your bag.
However, general resellers offer a quick and easy selling process, which may suit those who prioritize convenience.
If you’re aiming to get the highest return or simply want to understand your bag’s value, we recommend getting multiple appraisals—including from a specialist store—via LINE or other online tools.

The Hermès Garden Party is a beloved bag known for its balance of practicality and style.
Still, some readers may feel that their current model no longer suits their lifestyle, or that they’re ready to upgrade to a different size or material.
In such cases, selling your current bag can be the first step toward acquiring your next ideal piece.
In recent years, more people have traded in their canvas-and-leather Garden Party bags (Toile + leather) for the more elegant, all-leather versions made of Negonda.
