Ode to the Picotin

What leather Hermes usually uses in black Picotin 22 if not Clemence? I prefer in Picotin more structured shape and I fear that the bag gets too slouchy over time, and I have understood that there is leather options sometimes available?
The picotin sometimes comes in the Maurice leather which is less slouchy than the Clemence. I have a 18 in Maurice and a 22 in Clemence. I don't know if Maurice is an option in the 22 tho.

Hi, I would love to see your 2+ year old Picotin 18's (ideally in Clemence). I'm considering picking one up and would love to know how it visually slouches over the years. Preferably, with an insert. Thanks!
I purchased my Pico 18 in July 2020. I don't use an insert. This isn't my daily bag but I do try to use it a few times per month. Hope these pics help!

Can anyone who owns a Mai Tai insert for the picotin tell me if the insert shows on top of the bag? Trying to decide whether to get a neutral color or not. TIA
There you go. It’s very discreet. My P is in Caban, so I chose a denim blue/beige MaiTai insert to match. Apologies for the terrible shots.

Hi everyone~
This is my first H bag I ever got, on my first visit to the boutique back in May. Since then I’ve gotten a C18 and I’m currently waiting for my retourne K25 to arrive 💓 thank you for letting me share.

This is the Picotin 22 in the color Biscuit 🍪 such a beautiful warm cinnamon-y color!

I happened to check out on the US website with my very first picotin 18 in rose texas on my birthday!!! Such a fun surprise that I was able to make it to checkout!
What is the best way to store it? I’ve been keeping it in the dust bag stuffed with the air bags it comes with.

Thanks!!!!

Congrats! I have 2 Picotin 18s and I store one that has a stiffer leather with the air bags. For the slouchier Pico in clemence leather, I use a 7RP insert as it provides the perfect shape and support.

I'm a big believer in that there is no one answer for storage for each bag. Storing Birkins flat in the box with the tissue paper "pillow" it came with seems to a popular method on this forum, but I have seen first hand that this way can warp clemence and epsom leather on a Birkin. It's best to see how the leather reacts to your method of storage.
