Ode to the Picotin

I just wanted to share my excitement from this morning when I scored my holy grail Picotin from H online

I was perusing the website and stumbled across a whole bunch of Picotin 18s and 22s in different colors. I saw this beautiful bleu nuit Picotin 18 with silver hardware and thought I would just get it. But of course I was too slow because when I added it to my cart, it said it was already sold out.

As I was going back and refreshed the page, my holy grail combination popped up and my heart stopped for a second: a gold with gold hardware Picotin 18! I checked out so fast. I didn’t even think twice. After successfully checking out, I read the description and it said it was a Maurice leather bag. And after doing some reading here on the forum, I think this is my ultimate perfect combination.

Thanks for letting me share my excitement! This year is already off to an amazing start.

Will share pictures when I pick her up. In the mean time, here is a mod shot of me with the Picotin 18. I am 5’4 and between a size 2/4 US.

I also added the gold with ghw 18 in my cart today and was ready to check out. It was gone when I was grabbing my credit card info. I guess you win congratulations

You'll love the Maurice leather! It won't slouch too quickly like with Clemence.
 
Thank you so much, renet! I was just talking to a friend about what was on my wishlist this morning too. So estatic!

Hopefully another one pops up again! I was just really lucky today.
 
Hi ladies and gentlemen,

Thank you so much for all the love on me sharing my excitement on scoring a Picotin on H.com. I finally went and picked her up from the store today and just wanted to share some photos.

I also scored a rodeo MM online and while I thought it was a bit big when I first saw it in person, I think it works quite well on the Picotin 18. Oversized but I think it adds to the dinky-ness of the bag.

This is in Maurice leather. It definitely feels like it has more body than Clemence, as it is a bit stiffer and sits beautifully on its own. I think I might plan on getting an insert for it still (but not in a rush for that).

As always, thanks for letting me share ❤️

Beautiful Picotin - gold on gold is a great combo! Congratulations! I'm also mad about Picotin at the moment - planning to add another bright coloured one - jaune ambre or bleu encre - in a 22 this year. Such a fun bag!

Thank you so much, WKN! I am so smitten with this little guy.

I think a Picotin in a fun color would be so nice. Hope you can find the perfect one for you!

I’m also dreaming of a P22 in Jaune Ambre, good luck to both of us!
I’d also like a bright green like Bambou
