Hermès Picotin 18 in Ardoise, Permabrass Hardware

Shop the Hermès Picotin 18 in Ardoise with Permabrass hardware. The Picotin Lock is Hermès at its most relaxed, an open-top bucket inspired by the feed bags of the stable, carried on twin handles and secured with the house's signature padlock and clochette. At 18cm it is the most wearable of the sizes, roomy enough for the everyday essentials yet light and compact on the arm. Crafted in Clémence, a supple grained calfskin that softens the bag's lines and gives it that easy, slouched elegance the Picotin is loved for.

Ardoise is a deep slate grey, cooler than Étoupe and quieter than Noir, with a soft blue-grey depth that reads as a true neutral. Against Permabrass hardware it takes on a subtle golden warmth, a gentler and more understated pairing than bright gold. Stamped K (2025), this bag is brand new and comes complete with its original packaging and hardware seals.
