I recently saw this Hermès Garden Party 36, and it made me think that Garden Party isn’t only for women.

The 36 size holds enough, and it doesn’t look too small when carried by a man. The slate grey looks better in person than in photos. I thought I would go for black or Bleu Jean, but this color ended up catching my attention.

To me, Garden Party 36 isn’t a bag that just sits around looking nice. It feels like something you can actually use day to day. What do you think of men carrying the Garden Party 36?

I waited quite a while for this Hermès Picotin 18, and honestly I kept changing my mind on the color.

At first I was looking at black with silver hardware, Sakura pink, and a few other combinations. I wasn’t sure about Etoupe because it felt like such a “safe” choice. But after seeing it with gold hardware, I started to understand why so many people like this color.

It doesn’t scream for attention, but it works with almost everything I wear. I added a soft pink twilly and a little horse charm, and suddenly it felt much more like “my” bag instead of just a basic neutral.

For daily life, this bag is easier than I expected. Workdays, casual outfits, quick errands — it just makes sense. The open top is convenient, and the size is enough for the things I actually carry.

This new bag is honestly hard to photograph — the color is tricky, and the angle takes a while to find.

But the crocodile leather is so beautiful that every photo session feels worth it, even if I’m basically fighting with the camera the whole time.

This tri-color Box leather bag completely stunned me.

The red, brown, and caramel tones somehow work so well together without looking messy at all.

It’s actually my first time seeing Box leather done in this kind of color-blocking, and I’m honestly obsessed.

Does anyone else have one like this? What do you think of this combo?

This gold metallic leather looks amazing in person. The shine changes with the light.

But I also know it has clear downsides: higher price, possible wear on the metallic finish, harder to style casually, and resale may be less stable than classic leather.

I bought it for celebrations and special occasions, so I can accept that it’s not an everyday bag.

Would you go for a special material like this, or stick with classic leather?
