Seems like it all depends on SA + stock. Perhaps 22 would be easier to get unless you have a specific color & hardware combo in mind since smaller bags are still the rage right now. I think there's LV Hermes thread somewhere to get a better idea of other's experiences.
How hard is it to be offered a Picotin 18?

Interesting! I thought I heard the same thing from my SA as well, she mentioned something along the line of 'let me know the colors you prefer and we can order it'. I didn't put much thought into just thought she'd just text me if one becomes available, didn't think of it as special order
I ordered the green one from FASHIONPHILE to see what I think of the bag. If I like it will return and special order. Best year round colors ? I feel like the gold is not that exciting for that bag?Interesting!

I have a Raisin Picotin MM, which I guess is now called the 22 size, and I find that it's a fun color but not too bright so it works as a neutral too. Cassis and Rouge Sellier are both gorgeous colors that work as neutrals, as is Rouge H.
Ohh let us know how you like the green picotin! For neutrals I have my eyes set on nata or chai with ghw, probably a bit high maintenance with nata but I can see myself using that color year round. But I also noted to my SA that I'm interested in rose sakura or vert criquet. Personally I love picotin in brighter colors
Oh will look up those colors thank you !!! I can’t wait until the bamboo color comes but if it’s only an occasional bag I feel like it needs to match items in closet. Green may be tough but the color is stunning. I ordered the 18 btw.
Oh, I will have to ask my SA. Thanks for letting us know. May I asked where are you based? I’m in Australia and I have not heard we can order an Picotin. I’ve only started working with an SA in January 2022. I’ve purchased a little ceramic dish, a rose gold ring and twilly and still no word if she will offer me a Picotin in the colour I want.
I walked in the store for shoes and I asked about garden party and Picotin. He said supply /demand etc . I was hoping they had one in the back and he said no but you can order one if patient. I think 6 months !!!! But worth it IMO. I am on the east coast. I always tell people you have to ask for what you want ! Let us know how it goes !
Am going to look up all these colors thank you !!!!!Ohh let us know how you like the green picotin!

So sad news … didn’t like the size 18. The leather is dreamy but it’s not the bag for me
.
I can understand that. I find the medium size to be pretty perfect (although I also have a Picotin TGM, which is the 31 size, and I love that too).So sad news … didn’t like the size 18. The leather is dreamy but it’s not the bag for me
Thanks for the lovely pic and I do love that color !!! I think I will stick to Hermes shoes for now and admiring all of your bags !!!!
