Hi everyone, I'm thinking of getting a picotin lock in either size 18/22 and colors available are blue paon (18), blue agate (22) or rouge grenat(22). I'm 5'6" slim built and wear jeans all the time. Which would you pick? Thanks in advance.
 
Hi there! Picotins are great bags and both sizes are really lovely. A 22cm will allow you to carry more than the 18cm. I am quite a bit shorter than you and carry both sizes with ease. As for colors, what other colors do you currently have in your bag wardrobe? Each of the ones you mention are beautiful on their own: what color tops do you generally wear?

I wear lots of navy, green, purple, white and mostly color print top and seldom do neutral. I do have a navy mini flap, gold Evelyne and a few monogram/Damier LV.
 
How much stuff do you need to carry? I generally prefer smaller bags just because they are more suitable for my petite frame but for you both will be okay. Really depends on how much space you will need.

BTW, h.com now has picotin 18 in etain which I have rarely seen in this color/size online. Edit: it is sold within minutes. I just checked and the bag is gone.
 
I carry my small Chanel card case or LV empreinte key pouch, 6 keys holder, iPhone 7 plus, tissue and pocket size sanitizer on daily basis. So either size will fit sufficiently. I'm just torn between the colors and they all come in specific color for specific size only if I'm not wrong. So should I go with the color I love (paon) or the better size (22) just for the extra space? Thanks @yodaling1

PS: argh! My quote doesn't won't sometimes. Sorry!
 
I wore my 18 tonight to dinner
It fits a lot. Easily your daily needs.
The plus to the small size is versatility for day to night
I have an 18, 22, & 26.
Love them all
They are simple, sophisticated, & understated
You can't go wrong with any choice
Get your favorite color
Everything else will fall into place
 
I'm 5'6". Few years ago, I was looking for PM neutral but ended up with RC 22 as there were none available in other colors & size. After 3yrs, finally I took up courage to let go as I'm always wishing for neutral muted color and finally found a Pico Pm in Blue Agate. I have only small compact wallet and SLGs and Pico Pm is just perfect for my need and lighter too.

May I see the blue agate? Does it appear darker or lighter in reality? Thanks

Based on your wardrobe I would go with blue agate or paon. Since you love paon go with that color. RG may not get as much use as the other two choices.
