Picotin 18 vs 22? Which do you recommend? I am on the shorter side but need room for a phone, epi pens, keys, lip balm and a small wallet.

I am waiting for one to come up in etain but I did not specify size to my SA because the come in so rarely. I realized that I should probably have an idea of what I want!

I think 18 will fit all the stuff that you need to put in but it will be pretty snugged. 22 will give you more space to put in a few more extra things when need to.

Hello Everyone, Just wanted to share my first ever Hermes purchase- a Picotin 22 Noir with gold hardware. I managed to find it online last week after many months of searching the site. I do have a concern as my handle seems to have a loose thread please see photos. I just received today, should I bring my bag in to be looked at? Or is this a none issue? Any feedback would be appreciated TIA.

It most likely will stay that way. I personally would not accept any new bag in this condition. Have you tried asking your SA to search for one? Noir pico 22 does show up regularly at my store.

I am 162 and I have an etain pico with ghw in 18, it fits my phone, card case, pencil case and make up pouch plus other small items. It’s perfect and I can sometimes shove an umbrella if I organise it right. I wouldn’t go up to a 22

Here is my Pico 22 in etain. I am 132 cm/5’ 1”. I carry quite a bit more than you plan to carry. An 18 should be fine for what you want to carry. A0FAA6E1-680B-48BA-9F8E-6C84EA20A043.jpeg

@veeroman Your new Pico is lovely but that loose thread would bother me. I have only had to return one item that I purchased online and it was hassle free. I would consider returning it.

This color is beautiful! Is this a 22? If so, can you wear it over your shoulder? If so, do you ever wear it that way, or hand carry only?

So many questions :biggrin:. Thank you! You and your bag both look great! :smile::smile::smile:
Yes it is a 22 and I can carry her on my shoulder if I want. I carry it both by the straps or over my shoulder depending on what's in my hands. It is bigger than I need but I do like how the bag looks. I also have a size 18 and for me I probably use the 18 more.

I’ve decided to return since the loose thread is noticeable and I am afraid it may one day snag and rip. I am disappointed to have to return my first ever piece but I will be patient and will hopefully receive one in perfect condition. Thank you all for the advice.
