Ode to the Picotin

[Mademoiselle_Verdier]

There are some lovely vacation posts on Instagram with a Pico alongside the pool. I think you will look lovely taking one to Capri with you

Is the 26 easily available? I'm torn on the size.

 

[Mademoiselle_Verdier]

Yes coco.lover I see them in the H boutiques in Las Vegas often. It helps that there are 3 in Vegas. Crystals and Bellagio often have the 26. Hope this helps

just one more question can I wear the picotin under my shoulder?

 

[Mademoiselle_Verdier]

Yes.. echoing what Mimmy says, when she removes the MaiTai insert and wears it over the shoulder.. I have just tried putting my Pico 22 over the shoulder. It’s a great idea for a more secure feel.

 

[Mademoiselle_Verdier]

.. sorry .. I mean under the shoulder

I started with the Pico 22 in Blue Hydra and this is a great bag and definitely very useful. A long wallet fits, along with your other items - phone, keys, cosmetics. So it is a very practical bag. But I still craved a Pico 18 so I also bought a Pico 18 in Etain. It is super adorable and a very sweet bag that takes on a different look and different purpose. My long wallet sticks out a bit though, but not too much. I am very happy to own both sizes. From a practical perspective, Pico 22 is better. But I still love the uniqueness of a sweet Pico 18.

Coconuts40 I agree. I look at the Pico18 which MaiTai has and it has a unique look .. very cute. Could almost be worn to a casual evening do

Hi @lynne_ross , yes you can get a Pico 18 over a winter coat. I can understand your conflict, as the Pico is so adorable that it carries both neutrals and H bright colours perfectly! I initially got the Blue Hydra and therefore I do have a coloured Pico , my 22. However, my next necessity was a neutral and I was really craving a Pico 18, so naturally selected that one in a neutral since I had one in a pop of colour. I think you can't go wrong either way! I am just getting a bit more boring and practical with my bags as of late, and am starting to desire neutral bags, and keep my clothing more colourful. But every time I see a gorgeous Pico show up on H.com, it takes so much restraint on my end not to purchase a third

Hi @Coconuts40 , Actually, I look at H website from time to time, but I haven't seen any Picos lately. In 2017 one could bag them on the US website (LOL). If you are travelling, friends have advised that they lucked out getting a Pico at duty free overseas. I haven't yet been offered a bag at Heathrow or DeGaulle... fingers crossed

Hi, I love the Pico22. They are easy, especially if you get an insert to use with them. They suit a casual lifestyle, and are nice if you dont use them for travel. They dont pack real easy, due to their shape. Also, some members recommend removing the lock when storing them, to presreve their shape. This is the Bleu Electrique Pico 22, and CSGM Parures des Samourais. View attachment 3988948

This is so beautiful, I’ve been waiting for someone to post a pic of the new PdS in this cw combined with BE. Perfect together[emoji7][emoji170]

Pico 22 in Craie with Jeu de cartes from the SS 2018 season. For me Craie is very easy to work into my wardrobe. I love the neutral palette which H offers. This colour isn't too fussy, although I wipe it with a Lexol wipe (recommended by @docride ) before putting it away in my wardrobe

Beautiful bag!
Do you use any leather conditioner from time to time? If so, which one?
Many thanks

 

[Mademoiselle_Verdier]

@Gringach Lexol makes a leather conditioner to complement their leather wipes. I think it can be found on Amazon. Also I think @docride has some leather conditioner she recommends, although I dont recall its name. When I am next in the H boutique, later this week, I'll ask what they recommend as far as leather conditioners. Which are your favorite bags?

Thank you for this information
Yes, that would be great to know as I think they just say their bags should be treated at the H spa.. However, I like to treat the leather of my bags from time to time.
And well, I only have a tomato red Pico for the moment.. But I wouldn’t mind adding a Bolide to my collection
