Hermès Style & Size

A slouchy bucket tote with the design inspired by a horse’s feed bag, the Picotin is a great bag for more casual wear. The suede interior can be secured with the iconic Hermes lock, and will fit essentials such as your phone, small cosmetic items, keys, compact wallet.

Hermès Material

Toile refers to the woven fabric, usually cotton or a cotton blend, used by Hermès in many of its handbags often in conjunction with leather. Goeland is a heavy duty and resilient canvas most often used in the Birkin or Picotin Cargo.

Known as Gulliver until it was discontinued in 1999, this leather was reintroduced in 2005 as Swift. It has a fine grain which is soft to the touch and the ability to absorb dyes and reflect the light make it very popular. The drawback to Swift is that it is easily scratched so needs careful handling.

Hermès Colour

Black Birkins have always been, and continue to be, Lilac Blue's best seller. For Hermes bags it is one of very few classic colours and is produced every season of every year. Black complements all types of wardrobes and occasions – from formal business wear to casual jeans and neutrals and whether you’re a seasoned collector or making your first purchase, it will never go out of style.

Hardware

Hermès Gold hardware is made of solid brass, giving weight and durability, plated in either 18 carat gold, or for some Special Order bags, 24 carat gold and then hand polished. Choose gold hardware for a warm, luxurious finish to your bag.
