Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: What are the typical dimensions of the Picotin 22, and what are this item’s measurements? A: The Picotin 22 is generally around 22 x 21 x 17 cm. This particular piece is listed on our page as approximately 22 x 20 x 17 cm with a handle drop of about 15 cm. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for the exact figures for this item.
Q: What usually fits inside the Picotin 22? A: It comfortably fits a long wallet, smartphone, sunglasses case, keys, a small cosmetics pouch, a 500 ml water bottle, and an A5 diary or small tablet. Capacity varies with how you pack and whether you use a light organiser insert.
Q: Does the Picotin 22 come with a shoulder strap or allow crossbody wear? A: The Picotin is designed to be carried by hand or in the crook of the arm using its dual top handles. It does not come with, nor is it designed for, a shoulder or crossbody strap.
Q: How secure is the open-top design and how do I close it properly? A: The bag closes with a leather strap threaded through two metal brackets at the top; many Picotin bags are paired with a padlock for added security. Even without a padlock, cinching the strap helps keep contents in place. Using zipped pouches inside adds extra peace of mind.
Q: What is Taurillon Clémence leather like and how does it age? A: Clémence is a soft, pebbled calf leather known for its luxurious hand and good scratch resistance. It is slightly heavier than some leathers and will relax and develop a gentle slouch over time, which suits the Picotin’s casual bucket shape.
Q: Is the Picotin lined? A: Picotin interiors are typically the raw side of the leather, which has a suede-like feel and is sometimes described as suede lining. This piece is described on our page as having a brown suede lining.
Q: Will the bag stand up on its own and does it have feet? A: Yes. The Picotin has a structured rectangular base with four protective studs. The body remains soft, so some natural slouching may develop with wear, especially in Clémence leather.
Q: What does the blind stamp “Square P (2012)” mean? A: Hermès uses a letter-with-shape blind stamp system to indicate production year. A letter P inside a square corresponds to 2012 for Hermès leather goods.
Q: How should I care for this bag day to day and in storage? A: Wipe the leather with a soft, dry cloth and avoid harsh cleaners or prolonged exposure to water, heat, or direct sunlight. For storage, empty the bag, loosely stuff it to support the shape, and keep it upright in a breathable dust bag. Avoid overfilling in use to reduce stretching; lightweight organisers can help distribute weight.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information section on this page. For this piece, the product information indicates no additional items are included.
Q: Is the Picotin a non‑quota bag at Hermès? A: The Picotin is generally considered a non‑quota style, though availability can vary by boutique and season.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this bag? A: Every item we sell is carefully vetted by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, and year codes. We stand behind the authenticity of all items and are happy to share additional product information on request.
