@nekroxas, I had a P22 before and it was able to sling on my skinny shoulder. Now I'm using my P18 regularly on my shoulder by using a rolled up scarf and tie it across the straps aka 'Lindy style when I need hands free option.

Hi. I've heard about it but have never attempted. May you share how you do it? Do you use Twilly or maxi Twilly or any other scarf of certain length ? Thanks.

Hi guys,

I am thinking about buying this beautiful picotin. I have several B and K but I think I need something that I can use without baby the bag too much. However, I am debating whether I should buy 18 or 22. I am 5'3. I am thinking about Noir or gold color. I like the pop color too but I think neutral will suit me best. Any suggestions? Thank you in advance.

I personally think the 22 is the perfect size. I just purchased one in black and I love it. I use a Picotin insert from MaiTai collection and it helps keep it's shape. I am looking for another in gold. I had one but sold it and totally regretted it so I am on the lookout.

Thank you for your response. Do you have a mod pic? May I ask how tall you are? Is it more slouchy?

Hi there here's some of my old modshots carrying P22 in noir. I'm 4"9, size 22 is perfect for every day. I can even put a stubby 500ml bottle without it sticking out from the top. Also because I am petite I can sling it over my shoulders.
I believe P18 will be more suitable for a light outing :) hope that helps! I'd love to have several B and K like you one day :)

My very 1st picotin! It's size 18 in blue electric :) I know most people will put the lock but my hubby thinks the lock will scuff the leather over time. Can anyone confirm/advise on this please? Thanks!

Love it that your hubby contributes to your love of bags :)

I've owned few picotins with the lock hanging. Never had scratch issue so no worries.

Congrats on a beautiful BE Pico !! Don't worry about the lock scratching. I've never had any issues.

I never had trouble with this. But, when I am not using the bag I remove the lock and store it in it's sleeper bag.
