This is the full-leather version of the Hermès Garden Party 23 in golden brown, made with Togo leather. Pattern control remains the core challenge in replicating this bag.

For the full-leather Hermes Garden Party 23 (also known as TTPM), especially in golden brown Togo leather, the difficulty shifts from the canvas version’s “balance between structure and softness” to a more subtle balance between the leather’s natural drape and the firmness of the base. Togo leather is known for its softness, which makes precise shape control critical.

Through detailed disassembly and analysis of the authentic bag, Shebag identified the exact type and thickness of the internal support materials used inside the base and the vertical side leather panels. These stiffeners ensure that the bag sits flat and stable when placed down, while still allowing the upper body to retain the natural, relaxed drape of Togo leather.

The smoothness of the silhouette depends on highly precise internal stitching and bonding. Shebag’s artisans replicate Hermès’ concealed construction methods, ensuring that no unnecessary lines are visible on the exterior and that the leather maintains a clean, fluid appearance.

Shebag selects Togo leather with thickness calibrated to authentic standards. Leather that is too thick would look rigid, while leather that is too thin would cause the bag to collapse or lose its shape.

Special care is taken to ensure that the golden brown Togo leather has the correct grain size for a size 23 bag, where the texture should be relatively fine, along with natural softness. This allows the bag to develop the same elegant, “naturally relaxed” look seen in the authentic piece during use.
