Among Hermès bags, the “Garden Party” stands as a classic that’s both easy to use daily and has been beloved for a long time.
Simple and elegant, versatile enough for both work and leisure, it enjoys broad popularity across all age groups.
However, with the recent arrival of a new model called the “Neo‑Garden,” there are conversations such as:
“Would choosing a mini size over the previous model feel more contemporary?”
“Maybe the one I’ve had no longer suits my carrying style?”
In this article, based on the latest 2025 trends, we’ve carefully selected five top recommended Garden Party models. We’ll also sort through tendencies in color, material, and sizing to provide hints for choosing your “next” or “first-ever” one.
Many people think of the Garden Party as “a larger, practical” bag, don’t they? In reality, the full-leather PM and GM sizes have long been loved for their storage and reassuring feel.
But in recent years, with the rising popularity of mini-bags and a desire for lighter styling, increasing numbers feel, “I might prefer something a bit more compact now.”
Also, attention is turning toward “canvas (Toile) materials in lighter colors” boasting a lighter, casual impression, offering a “refresh” from the exclusive Négonda leather styles of the past.
If you’ve used your bag for a while but want to change its vibe…
If you’re searching for something that fits your current wardrobe or lifestyle better…
That timing might just be a great opportunity to reassess which Garden Party right now fits you best.
Right now, Garden Party models with lighter, softer impressions are gaining popularity.
Particularly notable are the soft textures of Négonda leather and the “airy” feel created by combining canvas. The 2025 trends are evident in choices of size and color.
For luxury feel, the classic Négonda remains unmatched—supple, structured, and durable, offering presence when carried and long-lasting use.
At the same time, models combining canvas and leather are regaining attention for those who value lightness or a casual feel.
For example, models pairing “Toile Ash” or “Toile Officier” with leather deliver a light elegance that’s not too casual. Especially popular during spring/summer when lighter tones dominate, they’re praised for offering a “relaxed yet polished” impression all year round.
With a broader trend toward smaller bags, Garden Party also sees support for compact models—TPM (around 30 cm) or less.
Particularly notable is the Neo‑Garden 23: its clean form and practical capacity (long wallet, phone, pouch) make it the embodiment of a “must-have right now” piece.
Note that the previously circulating ultra-mini TTPM is now almost nonexistent in the market.
The Neo series, on the other hand, is establishing itself as a well-balanced choice—modern, lifestyle-friendly, and trend-aligned.
Natural, feminine colors like Béton, Trench, and Rose Sakura blend seamlessly with spring/summer attire—and remain beloved year-round.
Also continuing in popularity is the “light tone × black” contrast. Color combinations like Écru × Ébène tighten up styling while delivering a sense of lightness: the “just-right balance.”
Below are five Garden Party models capturing attention in 2025—handpicked to guide you toward finding the one that best suits your current lifestyle or fashion sense, based on material, size, and color balance.
The soft greige “Béton” is a versatile hue that effortlessly matches all outfits. Négonda’s high-quality feel and beautiful form shine through—perfect for both work and outings. Its refined appearance makes this a “fail-safe” pick for those looking for a smart wardrobe investment.

You’ve been loving your Garden Party for a long time—but have you found yourself reaching for it less often lately?
Even if you think, “It’s still usable,” there’s a chance the right time to replace it has already arrived.
Here are a few “signs” that may indicate it’s worth considering an update:
That once-practical PM size with ample storage may now be tucked away in the back of your closet.
If the usage frequency has dropped, your lifestyle may no longer match the bag as it used to.
A size that used to feel “just right” may now feel too large or too small.
Changes in your body type or the items you carry naturally affect what feels like the right fit.
What once felt classic—like the rich texture of Négonda leather or subdued standard colors—may now seem heavy or formal.
Switching to a lighter, more current model can refresh your entire look.
Many people have received a Garden Party as a gift or bought one themselves, only for it to remain untouched for years.
That kind of item is the perfect opportunity to fund your next dream bag.
Leaving these small signs unaddressed could mean your precious Hermès bag ends up going unused.
If you’re starting to feel “maybe it’s not quite me anymore,” then now is the perfect time to reassess and find the Garden Party that truly suits you.
As of 2025, models that reflect a current feel—like the TPM size or Neo Garden 23—are especially in demand.
In fact, they hold stable resale value, and in some cases, even exceed retail price on the secondhand market.
That’s why a buy-sell balance makes buying a replacement a smart move.
More and more people are choosing to let go of their current Garden Party and use the proceeds to buy a trending model.
In cases like the following, it’s possible to get a bag that better suits your style—while keeping costs down:
