Ode to the Picotin

I’m 5’10” and the 18 definitively looks the best on me. I have friends several inches shorter who look better carrying the 22. Definitely go by what looks good when you have it in your hand rather than trying to match bag size and height! If your instincts say 22, I bet it looks terrific on you. So many factors— body shape, clothing style, other elements that can’t even be pinpointed— go into determining what bag size suits a person best. :smile:
 
Can you please suggest what would be best colour for Pictin18 in natural, Casual Colour that go with everything?
(I like bag in Silver Hardware only)

thinking Gold, Blue Nuit, Black ?

These are all really good options. I have a Pico 22 in Blue Hydra and then wished for an 18 as I love the shape in the Pico 18. Just like you I wanted a really neutral colour, and went for Etoupe. This colour is quintessential Hermes and a perfect neutral.
 
Can a purple color expert help me, please. My Picotin is purple, O stamp. 2011. I think it is Iris, but not sure. Does that date code help? I am looking at a bag in amemone and do not want two bags of same color. I think someone said my Pico looks like Iris. Color looks deeper in this pic than real life. Thanks.Screen Shot 2018-03-01 at 8.31.29 AM.png i

This is my iris pico. Does this look same as yours? It is blue purple. Date code only shows the production year. You have to look at the product code on the receipt to find out what color. Anemone is a little more pink than iris.

Here’s a picture I found online that shows different purples.

Thanks. I think mine is Iris. The resale double sens I was looking at must not be anemone, after looking closely at anemone.

I love this size and color! I haven't seen a Picotin this big at the store before... :(
