Love a duo picotin - I had the GM which was Bleu indigo and orange poppy but sold it as it was so heavy so I would love your size and definitely dual colour - great scarf matching too [emoji736][emoji521]

Sorry for slightly off topic question, but how heavy was your GM picotin? What else do you consider a heavy/light bag? I have been considering a GM or TGM, but my local store hasn’t had either in to try on. Thanks!

I felt it was very heavy because although the leather was clemence, the way the handles are situated put all of the weight of the bag plus my daily purse/notebook/makeup items etc all along my arm from wrist to elbow whereas my 40cm Togo Birkin due to the handle construction places the weight at your biceps where I have more strength - also I could have worn the GM picotin over my arm resting between my wrist and elbow but I like to carry my top handle bags exactly straight to my side and not on the crook of my arm, it changes the aesthetic in my opinion - hope this helps

Thank you! Could the GM be a shoulder carry? Would it depend on how thick of a garment one wears?

It might be although I never tried as again that was t the look I was going for .....hence I like Birkin, kelly, tpm Evie and Constance - I felt the same about the garden party - even the all leather felt too flimsy in that it kept acting like a seesaw and sipping from front to back as things moved around - that’s why the only pico I would have now would be the tpm so it would be carried firmly as a top handle by my side - it’s hard to tell I know especially when even if there is a boutique near you, some have a limited stock of picos across the sizes - best of luck!

Evelyne III PM in Bleu Electrique, perfect for my low-gear lifestyle. I took these pics and then promptly went to the garden to harvest my beans. (No, I didn't pop them in Evie, but I could have. :biggrin:)

Omg gorgeous!!!! I have to say I’m so jealous. Bleu electrique is my favorite Hermes color and I’ve been trying to hunt down everything in that color. Don’t let me know where you live because I can’t promise I won’t snatch it away :P

Thank you so much, and I don't blame your instinct!:P I'd only seen it in pics before it arrived, and what your eye sees IRL is even better!
