What's the favorite P18 insert that isn't structured and would fold easily with the bag? I don't want to even remotely risk denting the leather. Wanted to try a fourbi (a la @BKC's post a while back) but my store doesn't have one in stock. Of course I could order online but figured there might be another gentle/unstructured option out there?

So beautiful! I may throw a scarf in on top of my items to mimic this look :smile:
You could take a 24” scarf or piece of fabric and place it in the bag, put your stuff in and tie the corners diagonally together. I did that until I made my drawstring bag. Pop of color, privacy for your contents and protects the inside.

Wow. That is amazing and looks gorgeous! And you made it yourself?!!
Thank you! Yes, I did. Had to sew it by hand because I am not skilled enough with the machine to work with slippery fabrics so it took a minute, but yes. :smile:
Finished one of the twillies yesterday.

I got all 3 pieces and had enough left over to do a muffler type scarf from one 41” square scarf. I overestimated the measurements a little bit to be safe, so the bag is a little taller than I would do next time.D21C335C-741C-423F-957C-92FFB2B97C3E.jpegimage.jpgimage.jpg

I found this listing on Etsy. Turned out, Dungeons & Dragons dice bag can possibly work! I've asked for the larger, 6.5"x6.5" bag, but she also sells smaller bags. Haven't gotten the bag but will report back once I do.

A new member of the club! My first Hermès and my first Picotin! I had seen the 18 and 22 in the store and liked how the 18 looked on me better. I found a pre-loved orange 18 and while waiting for it to arrive, I started to have doubts about the size, if it would hold my daily stuff. I am thrilled that it does! She did not come with a lock, so I bought a 2003 Mediterranee lock. I love her!!!!

Here she is! And I am going to make a drawstring bag for inside and a pair of twillies out of a luxe silk scarf I have.View attachment 4993141View attachment 4993142View attachment 4993143

Thanks so much for sharing the strap details. I have ordered the same strap in 70cm length with 20cm loops in Rouge color. Hopefully the color will match my Picotion18 in Rouge de couer. The strap costs about $67. I will report back when I receive it. Again, thanks so much for sharing

UPDATE: I just received the strap yesterday. It took about 3 weeks to delivery. The quality of the strap is pretty good. Even though the color doesn't match perfectly but very close. The strap color is a bit darker red. I'm 5ft1 so I don't know 397B8D13-E68A-4469-9A06-F5C16EF828DC.jpegB2C9745F-10DE-4FB8-88FC-20399F45B643.jpegDF4E5FC3-663C-48AC-9A12-9A93F63EB65F.jpegAA51FB15-E6E2-4E4E-8DDF-ACD13A7DAA88.jpegFE0777AA-9AFB-4C07-9DFD-AA40D1E5D5F8.jpegEFF1E640-AA1C-4164-8A3E-2D839B9771E8.jpegwhether the bag sits too low on my hip. What do you think? I'm also be able to wear it crossbody.

My pico is 18 and color is Rough De Coeur.

Thanks for sharing! I love the crossbody look! I was considering a shorter strap but this is awesome and makes me rethink!
 
It's gorgeous! I've always liked the multi-tone Picotins. But depends on what your personal preference is. I actually think the white stitching goes really well with the casual vibe of Picotin!

Hi all, was waiting for neutral color in size 18, but SA showed me this and came home with it. Now I am having second thoughts, I mostly have black bags. This is my first Picotin. Please help decide.View attachment 5003413View attachment 5003414View attachment 5003415
