Hermès Picotin 18 CM

The Hermès Picotin bag is a charming bucket bag style inspired by the grain feed bags used for horses. The handles take the place of the straps that would slip over the horse’s ears to hold the bag conveniently in place for a handy snack. From such humble inspiration, one of the atelier’s most popular casual handbags was born. 

The Hermès Picotin Lock 18cm, a highly sought-after collector piece, is the smallest size of this style, measuring approximately 7″ tall by 5″ wide by 7″ deep. The opening of the Hermès Picotin 18 is wider than the bag’s base, following the lines of the feedbag. The leather handles fit over your forearm or can be carried in the hand. The roomy interior is spacious and easily holds your daily essentials. A single strap closes the open compartment with the iconic Hermès lock, hence the name “Picotin Lock”. Four metal feet, known as clou, support the Picotin, lifting the leather above the surface it is set on to keep the bag clean. Individualize your Picotin with a tied twilly or a Hermès charm.
