Ode to the Picotin

Just wanting to share how much difference a bag insert does to my 6 month old picotin 22. It started slouching almost right away from the store and I didn't mind it. Until recently I noticed that the clemence leather is just not holding up at all. And so I purchased a bag insert from instagram user @luxe_byni and these are some photos of my bag with & without a bag insert. Looks brand spanking new again!

Do you use a bag insert for your picotin?

New again! :tup: Yes, I got an insert for my Pico 22 and it's from MaiTai: https://maitaicollection.com/collections/bag-inserts. I'm really happy with it as it helps with the organization and the structure of the bag.
 
Stupid question....I have the old style Picotin without lock. Looking at newer Picotins.
I cannot figure out the purpose of the lock except as weight to keep bag closed, but does one unlock it to go into bag?
Thanks

I have both. With my new picotin lock 18, I have the lock locked and I do not remove it to go into the bag, I just reach in to remove anything.

Thank you for showing us your bag insert. Was hoping to find from someone that is located in the US.
