Hermès Garden Party 36cm Barenia & Canvas - Preloved

Hermès Material

Originally used for making saddles, Barenia is a smooth water resistant leather. It wears well and because it absorbs oils found on skin develops a beautiful patina over time. This leather is usually paired with white contrast stitching.

Toile refers to the woven fabric, usually cotton or a cotton blend, used by Hermès in many of its handbags often in conjunction with leather. Toile H is made by combining two different colour threads to form a subtle repeating H throughout the canvas.

Hermès Colour

Fauve Barenia is a signature colour that exemplifies the house’s deep-rooted heritage in equestrian craftsmanship and timeless elegance. “Fauve,” meaning “tawny” in French, refers to the rich, golden-brown hue of the leather – reminiscent of saddle leather.

Hardware

Hermès Palladium hardware is made of solid brass, giving weight and durability, and then plated in precious metal. Palladium belongs to the platinum group of metals and has a brighter and whiter look than silver. More precious than gold, palladium is hard wearing and scratch-resistant.
