Before We Look at the Overall Shape,
Let’s Check a Few Details First!
[Front Stitching]
The diagonal stitching is beautifully finished.
Just by looking at the stitching alone,
it’s impossible to tell which one is authentic.
[Handle shape & Stitching]
The handle shape and the stitching around
the bag opening are also identical.
Revealing the Authentic Bag
The authentic bag is the one on the right
with the tag attached!
Now, Let’s Look at the Overall Shape
[Side View]
Even when the side buttons are unfastened,
the Garden Party maintains its signature shape.

Leather Comparison – What Makes Negonda Special?
At first glance, Negonda leather may not look very different from
other leathers, but the texture feels entirely unique when touched.
Even non-experts will immediately notice the difference in feel.
Negonda Leather Characteristics
✔ Matte & completely non-glossy
✔ Extremely dry to the touch
✔ Highly resistant to scratches and wear
Why Is Negonda Leather Used for the Garden Party?
The Garden Party was inspired by traditional picnic bags.
Since it was designed for outdoor activities,
it needed a durable leather that could withstand:
✔ All-day exposure to rain
✔ Getting completely soaked without damage
[Bottom View]
Left – Thierry Studio / Right – Hermès
Since the Garden Party was designed for outdoor use,
it does not have metal clous (feet) for leather protection.
Instead, Negonda leather itself is resistant to scratches and abrasion,
allowing the bag to maintain its condition even after years of use.
[Handle Close-Up]
The unique texture of Negonda leather
should be clearly visible on the handle.

We use authentic Riri zippers,
which feature a distinctive VVV-pattern on the zipper tape.

[Hermès Logo Stamp]
Top – Thierry Studio / Bottom – Hermès
내Due to the nature of Negonda leather,
the logo stamp appears less pronounced
compared to Togo or Clémence leather.
To achieve a deeper stamp, more pressure would need to be
applied, but this could damage the leather, which is why even
authentic bags avoid excessive pressure.
[Button Engraving]
Top – Thierry Studio / Bottom – Hermès
One of the most significant differences in
90% of replica bags is the button engraving.
Authentic Garden Party buttons have
a very fine and thin engraving.
Most replicas fail to achieve this delicate, thin engraving.
Here’s something you won’t find anywhere else.
A side-by-side photo of an authentic Negonda leather sample
stacked with an authentic Garden Party bag.
This is the first and only time such a photo has been shared,
and you won’t see it anywhere else except Thierry Studio.
This was a direct 1:1 comparison of the
Hermès Garden Party 30.
There is no other sellers that can place their bags next to an authentic
Hermès for side-by-side comparison like we do.
We take pride in our transparency and dedication to quality.
