Ode to the Picotin

For me, def picotin. I recently bought a mini peekaboo in Europe for a friend and I really don't prefer smooth calfskin..aside from the leather, I much prefer the picotin style though peekaboo has the advantage of a shoulder strap. Both cost about the same...think one thing that I always ask myself nowadays before a bag purchase is if I can see myself using it 10 years from now. If so, then I'd go for it.

I always ask myself if I will use the bag shortly after the purchase or will it sit in the closet? I do use my Picotins a lot. Though I usually prefer a shoulder strap option, I find it very wearable & do not miss the strap. It's a fun, understated bag

My RC Picotin 22.
Isn't it interesting how the color varies in different lighting?
Love yours & your mod shot [emoji173][emoji173][emoji173]
Pretty pretty red bags! I have to resist rouge casaque because I already have rouge grenat. But this red is so pretty ❤️ And I am delighted Keren16 to see you are enjoying your starfish.

Hi all! I'm a newbie to Hermes. Bought my first Evelyne in Malachite a few weeks ago and now one of the wonderful tpf members, LVoeluv turned me onto to the adorable Picotin's. The store in my area only had one color available in the 22 size, it's a beautiful blue (don't remember the official color name) but I'm going to try and wait to see if they get any other colors as I'm not really a blue girl. It's a stunning color, hope I didn't make a mistake walking out :huh:
If it didn't make your heart skip a beat and doesn't go with a lot in your wardrobe, then you absolutely did the right thing.

My little trio of picotins. One is classic orange, one is rouge Grenat, and the 3rd is an eclat blue Indigo/orange poppy with gold hardware. And I wouldn't mind having more. [emoji2]
