I love the look of the garden party in Togo leather. I see it once in a while and you can just see that the leather is out of this world. Love that most ppl can’t recognize it, who needs the attention? Chasing it…size 30 in Etoupe. Sigh.
I am chasing a bag (or a couple) in etaupe... why does this color have to be so high in demand?! I never thought a brown bag would be so hard to come by. my favorite part is the contrast stitching when a bag is etaupe.
I like the GP- it is a bag and if you have seen it made before as a Trader Joe bag it is because the design makes so much sense. The straps do double duty by providing strength to the bag on both the Trader Joe version and the Hermes bag. At the end of the day (a phrase I usually avoid because it doesn't elevate your statements) it is just a bag and a tote bag at that. It isn't a work of art or an idol or a reason to get up in the morning. . It is a tote bag and looks like a tote bag. There is a reason you will never see a utilitarian bag that looks like a Birkin or Kelly, they aren't well designed to hold things. The closures are too complicated. No one ever closes her bag. Everyone walks around with it open. Jane Birkin infamously didn't care for the bag designed in her honor. She complained about it bitterly until she reached a certain age and decided that embracing the bag probably made more sense than fighting it.
The garden party isn’t my personal aesthetic, but I got one to use as a diaper bag (I hatedddd the actual Hermes diaper bag with the embroidery) and with an organizer in it, it has held up so well and been very functional. Now that we aren’t in the baby stage anymore, I find myself just throwing anything extra in my birkin 30. The garden party for a newborn was really great though!
Hello GPS, agree with you, aller from the silver jewelry. I am not a gold or rose gold hardware person. Also, dinty tiny pieces that everyone layers is not my cup of the tea. The H silver line offers a range of chunky substantial pieces that are stress free to use daily.That is more my alley. Again, this what works for me 😊
Hi! I have the exact Hermès bracelet you showed (chaîne d'ancre) and I can tell you the quality is top notch. It's not as luxurious as gold but it is solid silver and it is quite heavy. Even though it might tarnish over time I am sure you can have it cleaned and it will last you a lifetime without a doubt.
I relate to your umbrella problem. I gave up on expensive umbrellas long, long ago. Always I lost them. Ironically, since opting exclusively for cheapie umbrellas, I recall that I have only ever lost one. I think that if someone had a Christmas Tree and all the money in the world, the Oran Sandal Bag Charm would be a lovely tree ornament. I like the Garden Party bag, but it does not have a shoulder strap, so it is not for me. Thank you for the video!
Hi GPS, I can’t understand anyone wanting to add a bag charm to their bags. I think it’s a juvenile look. Especially the rodeos, would you hang My Little Pony off your bag?😂😂
I completely agree with the phone cases. I wonder who likes buying these for such a short time to use? I change about all 3/4 years my phone, so buying a designer phone case does not make sense for me. Many people change their phone even every year. I personally never buy any jewelry from designer brands. I was tempted to buy a panther ring from Cartier for some time, but there is always a detail I can complain about. For example I want the panthers eyes to be emerald not tsavorite. I do like your horse themed pinky ring though. A bit tempting, I admit :). I love fine jewelry and decided many ears ago to buy only custom made pieces. I love working with my jeweler creating something unique and to my wishes. That way I can also support a small business. Btw, all in black you look a tad bit related to Clark Kent/Superman :).
The GP, esp in canvas, reminds me of the old LLBean tote bags for a 10th of the price. No real style imo, and so many other bags that are gorgeous and functional for the same price or less. I feel like some people will buy any bag from H for the cache they think it brings them.
Completely agree with you about the Lindy. The garden party Amazonia was my first Hermes bag. But yes, it has a bit of a dumpy look to it. As far as the bag charms, I never use bag charms, but I loooooove the tiny orange Hermes bag bag charm.
Hey GPS! I loved how you portrayed the garden party as dampening down an outfit. What do you think about the Evelyne PM or GM? Do you think they lower bring down an outfit or decrease the “chicness” ?
I thought they were kind of whatever until I saw one all leather in a beautiful jewel toned color. I went for it. put a twilly and rodeo on it and it's hermes magic
Yeah absolutely agree on all your picks. When i see the Lindy, i was wondering what an odd shape and looks so floppy design and very far from the Kelly that i admired. No way to those bag charms, for Rodeo perhaps 1 or 2 would be good. With so much money, i rather save a bit more for a belt which at least can be worn and elevate the look in my opinion. The garden party is so ordinary that i can get so much sleeker looking one with a fraction of the price.
Hi GPS, what are your thought on the Hermes Carmen Key Ring? I know their isn’t much too it just leather fringes but for some reason It has my attention and I can’t get it out of my mind, it’s kind of cute too me
The Garden Party was a bag that i loved in the beginning... but now yes i agree with you completely... it's frumpy... yes drags you down... and sags at the bottom which i hate... so even though i love black bags and mine is all leather black negonda, which i love but...... mine will be sold... oh well...
I love the Paddock Horseshoe Charms... but no other ones for sure... I love the solid color rodeos... but rarely use them... i do have a nano Kelly charm but i know I'll never use it i guess but i wish i could think of a way to make use of it at that crazy price! 🤪
@@IamGPS if i could even touch anything other than Hermès now... let me try it on the garden party maybe it will elevate it somehow 😅🤣.... i want to wear it as a necklace or something... i don't know.
this was an enjoyable video GPS! i’m not a fan of the bag charms either and i prefer to carry my bags as is - no twillys no charms - though i make an exception for single color rodeos and pegasus which i have one each and that’s more than enough 😂 would love to see your take on this with Goyard 🖤
As always I agree with you. Unfortunately though I still have a problem with rodeos. I see I need and then they sit in the box. Luckily, now just buy one of each instead of the stable of horses I collected and regret.
Let's face it...when it comes to Hermes the Birkin and Kelly will remain top tier bags. The Constance will run third and that it. Vuitton will do as accessories..
I got my mini Kelly in 2020 and it still sitting in my closet. 😢why? Bc of the strap. It’s too short. The mini Kelly looks like I have a third boob when I carry it crossbody. So sad. And I don’t understand why hanging a sandal on the bag neither. Might as well buy a pair of women sandal size 32 and put one of them on a B35/B40 lol
Let's be honest. The only bags that are good looking in a boring way is Birkin and Kelly. Hermes can get away so long with their The prices are solely due to these bags being the most coveted.
Instead of gettng their Garden Party, you might as well get something from Mulberry. Same function. Same material. Same look. Same feel. For less money. UNLESS. You are buying the brand itself. In which case, I have no comment.

What a great insight 🖤
I agree on everything you mention except I love my garden party bag.
So happy you're enjoying it 🖤
I usually put a full size Hermes baseball cap on my bag. Practical for walking around the city (and on the beach) and cheaper than the silly charms.

I have a GP36 in canvas. Very sturdy and I use it for work when I want just one bag carry all. I love the GP but in canvas
So happy you're loving it 🖤

You're right, they would indeed look better as Christmas tree ornaments than bag accessories 😅
Agree with most of your opinions; however, I’ve always wondered what the Kelly pocket strap would look like attached to a Kelly on-the-go.
Great idea, you'd just have to come up with a way to add a D-ring onto the Kelly-To-Go 🙌
I totally agree with you on the Garden and the Lindy bags.
Right? Something is just not quite right 😅
✨Love your candid opinion despite being an Hermes fan!
Always 🖤
Can’t wear gold, I’m allergic to it lol but I appreciate your feel on it.
Though on that note I wouldn’t buy a silver piece from any luxury house.
"Glorified grocery bag"
Nothing but the truth 🫣
SAME SAME SAME on the oran bag charm! Another great vid full of perfect comments. ♥️
Great minds think alike 🖤
Hi GPS, I can’t understand anyone wanting to add a bag charm to their bags. I think it’s a juvenile look. Especially the rodeos, would you hang My Little Pony off your bag?😂😂
My coworkers don’t get it either😅 and I actually agree too. Haha I just collect them
@Sinead, I know exactly what you mean..yet they're kind of addictive 😅
@@IamGPS some people don't have an eye for design and just can't see it
That would be me...what's all the fuss over Hermes?

I really like my black garden party 36. Irregardless of your opinion, I like your videos. Hopefully it will grow on you. Let me know then♡
I'm just glad you enjoy them 😍
Thanks for sharing, GPS. What are 5 bags (non-quota) that you would buy?
There's a video coming on it in the next couple of weeks 🖤
@@IamGPS Perfect! Thanks again! 🌸
Hi, what are your thoughts on the Halzan bag?
It's fine, nothing I would go crazy for 🫣
Question, since you don’t like your Kelly Twilly bag charm, can I buy it from you? I have been looking for it FOREVER
I'll certainly keep you posted if I ever decide to part ways with it 🫶
Hey GPS! I loved how you portrayed the garden party as dampening down an outfit. What do you think about the Evelyne PM or GM? Do you think they lower bring down an outfit or decrease the “chicness” ?
I must say, they aren't the most refined bags either 🫣
I've considered the Garden Party 30 for at least three years. Maybe the "frumpy factor" is what's holding me back?
Right? There's just something off about it 🫣
I thought they were kind of whatever until I saw one all leather in a beautiful jewel toned color. I went for it. put a twilly and rodeo on it and it's hermes magic
Great video! I especially agree with the silver jewellery but do have to say I think the kelly leather strap would really suit you!
Perhaps I should give it another look 🫣
thanks for the video, first of all I don't have money to buy Hermes, yeah I got you, don't like Lindy neither as I don't get the design🤨
