Buying a HERMES PICOTIN 18 or 22? WATCH THIS FIRST! In depth Review & Comparison
Everything you NEED to know!
Happy 2021 everyone! I’m starting this year off with a very helpful and informative video as so many of you guys loved my bag reviews and comparisons. Today I continue my “Hermes Series” with one of the most popular and well priced Hermes bags, the cute bucket shaped Picotin in size 18 and 22. This is a very in depth comparison and review, where I cover 5 areas which are listed below with time stamps. I really hope this can act as a reference tool and help those of you that are deciding between both sizes. Enjoy! xx Mel

Thank you SO much for such detailed review on these bags! I m 5β3β which size (18 or 22) do you think looks better on me?
Which size do you prefer?
It also comes in Barenia leather, I bought one today π size 18 with GHW
Smart
I try to order the picotin 18 insert but the price not in US dollars. I am so confused.
I want one but it is hard to get in my country π plus their customer service is the worst (coz it doesnβt exist) so rude
I need it in the original price
Awesome review that was so helpful! I think I like the 18 better π
Iβm glad I saw this! 22 it is!!!ππ
Thanks for sharing the size comparison!!! Super useful!!! Thanks Mel!!! π
Hey Mel!! How do you store your Picotins? I just purchased the 22 and Iβm unsure to how to properly storeβ¦
Thanks in advance!!
Hi! Please show ways on how to wear picotin in different ways. Thanks!
Please do an in-depth video on the constance if you havenβt already! Iβm very interested in the c18 but thereβs not a lot of actually info on YouTube for new Hermes lovers
Such a lovely selection you have Melπ
Iβm consider one, in the 22 size as it looks like the perfect mom/everyday bagπ thanks for the review Mel βΊοΈ
They remind me of oat feed bags for horses..I do like them but would pass on the Hermes names for same quality but lesser dollars…
Thanks Mel, super useful video
What about the 26?
I got the 22 brown color with gold hardware. Perfect fo rmy needs
How user friendly is the lock π? I feel like Iβd never want to put it on so it can easily get inside?
πππππππ₯°π₯°
Perfectly πβοΈβοΈ
Hello! I just wanted to thank you for making this video. I got myself a Picotin 18 and with your code I purchased an insert from 7rp. Itβs a navy color with gold hardware. Iβm so excited. Thanks for all your hard work, and thoughtfulness.
I just bought picotin 22 what a perfect timing to watch the video. Thanks Mel πβ€οΈ
