Wow. The gold hardware one is much harder to find. My mom bought the etain picotin 18 phw last week. Debated if she should wait for ghw one or not.

My boutique just got 4 Pico 18s & 3 of them were with GHW (black, gold & etain) and etoupe with PHW. I was lucky to have the first pick out of them. I also spotted GHW Pico online as well a couple weeks ago. She should ask her boutique if they're getting any. It seems like they made more GHW this season for some reason.

Hello, I’m new to Hermes and love the look of the Picotin 18. How hard is it to get this bag by walking into a Hermes boutique (in Europe or just anywhere really)? Thx.

From personal experience, it is hard to get if you don’t have a relationship with a SA in London/ Paris. In general, they just don’t receive a lot P18 and they sell really quickly.

That being said, I got offered 3 in the past month and managed to snatch one from the H.com a few days ago. HTH

HI everyone,

After going back and reading about fourty pages I've got a few question I'm hoping someone can help with.

1. I'm 5'1 and very petite, I keep going back and fourth with the sizes 18&22. I'm used to smaller purses like LV alma bb and fendi mini peekaboo, but don't want the picotin to look like a mini or oversized bag on me. Any suggestions?

2. I see that the pico is very hard to come by online, but what are my chances in Paris? Do they play games like they do with Bs and Ks? Will I have to spend a certain amount first?

3. I'm hoping to get a cooler gray with phw. Any suggestions on colors? I think etoupe may be too warm. Etain looks like a good option, but I've never seen the color in person.

4. I googled prices and saw on bragmybag they listed the price for the pico at
PM - 2675 us dollars and MM 2950 us dollars/2060 euro
Is this accurate? does anyone have the euro pricing for the pm size?

Sorry for all the questions, this will be my first leather item from Hermes and do not want to pick the wrong bag.
Thank you in advance!

1. I am 5’4 and 22 looks okay on me, but since I always prefer using small bags (I also own alma bb and peekaboo mini), I much prefer 18. I feel like 18 looks a little bigger than the two above mentioned bags as its taller.

2. I was told no P18 in the Sevres store but got offered two for choosing in the George V store after I purchased a scarf, calvi and rodeo pm. You can read more in the Paris thread.

3. Etain is cooler than etoupe. Graphite is another cool grey.

4. P18 is €1880.

HTH!

Both 18 & 22 will look good on you. I used to think 18 was too small but realized that it's not. You may be able to wear 22 on the shoulder which is nice. It would be best if you actually try them in the boutique. You'll have a better idea which you like more.

Hi ladies I’m deciding between tan and gold hardware picotin PM or a etoupe with gold hardware....

Note: I have 3 other TAN colored Hermes bag..... I kinda want to venture out to etoupe... will the picotin look cute with etoupe? Will the gold hardware be too overwhelming? I know gold hardware is so hard to get.... but I am drawn to tan colour but just don’t want 4 Hermes bags in tan (same colour different shape) ....

Thanks so much for everyone’s help.... x
