Delivery & Returns
Q: What size is this Hermès Picotin 18, and what usually fits inside? A: This is the Picotin 18, a compact bucket-style bag measuring approximately 18 x 18 x 14 cm with a 13 cm handle drop. It is best suited to daily essentials such as a phone, cardholder or small wallet, keys, sunglasses and a few small personal items. Bulkier pieces like a tablet, large water bottle or long wallet may feel too snug. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: Can this bag be worn on the shoulder or crossbody? A: No. This Picotin is designed with dual top handles and no shoulder strap, so it is intended to be carried by hand or in the crook of the arm.
Q: What material is this bag made from? A: This piece is crafted in black Clemence leather with silver-tone hardware. Clemence is appreciated for its soft feel, natural grain and slightly relaxed structure, which suits the Picotin’s understated bucket shape very well.
Q: Does the Picotin 18 have a lining or interior pockets? A: This bag has an unlined interior, which keeps it lightweight and lets the leather take centre stage. It works best with a simple essentials-only setup or a slim organiser if you prefer a little more structure inside.
Q: How does the bag close? A: It features a pull-through strap closure at the top. This gives the bag its relaxed, easy-access feel while still helping keep your belongings gathered inside.
Q: What does the Square H (2004) stamp mean? A: The Square H stamp indicates that this bag was produced in 2004, making it a true vintage Hermès piece.
Q: What is the condition of this particular bag? A: It is listed in good condition. The exterior shows marks on the leather, the interior has light traces of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. As with all vintage bags, these signs of wear are part of the bag’s individual character.
Q: Does this item come with any extras? A: This listing is noted as having no accessories. Everything included with the item is shown in the product information, so if something is not listed there, it should be assumed not to be included.
Q: How should I care for a vintage Clemence Picotin? A: Store it upright in a cool, dry place and avoid overfilling it, as soft unlined Clemence leather can relax further over time. Light stuffing or a soft organiser can help support the shape. Clean only with a soft dry cloth and keep it away from heavy rain, direct heat and prolonged sunlight.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item sold by A Retro Tale is authenticated by in-house experts, and the company also states that it works with independent authentication partners as part of its process. If you would like more detail, the team can advise further before purchase.
