Hermes Picotin 22

I have reviewed the Hermes Picotin 22 before, and since then, I admittedly haven’t been using it as much as I wished. It’s not that I don’t love the bag – on the contrary, I really do adore it. It’s more like  I’ve been using my other bags instead, and there’s quite a number of bags in my inventory that go on rotation.

I also love dressing up the Hermes Picotin 22 with a twilly. After all, Hermes Gold literally goes well with twillies of any colour.

Dropped by here for lunch one day, with the Picotin in tow.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year

Christmas is my favourite holiday of the year – everywhere is beautifully decorated, the festive year-end mood is contagious, and it just puts everyone in a good mood.

That day, I went to the second floor and had an Italian lunch at Basilico.

The Hermes Picotin 22 is cute but not ostentatious; it does not stand out in a crowd.

By the Dining Table

The husband and I love dining at Basilico – especially when we use American Express Love Dining perks (two adults at 50% off). This is a seriously amazing dining discounts programme that comes with ownership of the American Express Platinum Charge Card. Unfortunately, Basilico will be exiting the Amex Love Dining programme from January 2023 onwards, so I guess this is probably the last time to enjoy the dining benefits.

At Basilico

I have almost zero bad things to say about the Picotin – it’s user-friendly, soft, holds enough daily essentials, and the clemence leather is to die for.

The only thing is – this is a purely handheld bag. Going hands-free is hard on this one. Usually I carry it on the crook of the arm.

Last Thoughts

For those who are starting on the Hermes journey, this may be a good entry level bag. There’s no spending requirement and the price point is reasonable (considering that it’s HERMES).

Be warned though. Hermes’ leather is top-notch, and according to most Hermes die-hard fans I know, once you step into the rabbit hole, there is no way out. LOL.

Ending this post by wishing all readers a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
