Hi all...new to the H forum!

I just bought a Rouge Grenat PHW 22 Picotin in H Capri Italy last week.

I've always seen twillies being tied on the handles of B/K/GP but rare on the Picotin.

I also bought a pair of Astrologie Nouvelle twillies - just not sure if I should tie the handles.

Any opinions would be appreciated.

Here's a mod shot. I think it'll look even better with a bag charm hanging but unfortunately I still have no luck buying one from the boutique.

Thanks mi.kay! Do you ever wrap both handles? I bought one pair so not sure if I should keep one or keep both.

Furthermore, how did you wrap them? I have no luck finding any tutorials to wrap picotin handles.

TIA

Just like wrapping any other handles, wrap it as tight as you can, because it may come loose easier. I have seen people wrapping both pico handles and looks beautiful as well! Unfortunately I couldn't get another matching twilly so I just wrap one.
Twillies protect the handles! Sometimes I have sweaty arms so I'd rather ruin the twilly than the leather itself

Yeah that's why I bought the twillies - i have clammy hands LOL and didn't want to discolour the handles as I have with my Balenciaga bags haha.

Which twilly do you have?

Awesome modshot! We definitely don't get to see enough modshots on this thread (understandably). Do you mind me asking how tall you are? The 22 looks great on you.

Oh thank you! I'm 4ft9, very very short but surprisingly the pico22 looks fine on me. Pico18 will look better as a weekend bag, but I find that the 22 is fine as an everyday/even for work.

At first I am paranoid about sweaty arms vs clemence leather but been using this bag good for 6 months and the handles are still perfect! No odd smell or discoloration too. I believe the twilly is called Dans un Jardin Anglais? I don't speak French :P

Hi everyone! I was wondering what you 22cm owners are able to fit in there? I have a GM, and found a 22 I'm interested in. I have B25s, and can fit quite a bit in there..how does the pico 22 relate?
