Care Essential Guide
True luxury is not just in owning, but in preserving. Each piece is crafted with care & how you handle it determines how beautifully it will age.
1. Handling & Usage
👜 Respect its craftsmanship.
Avoid overloading or using the bag for purposes beyond its design. Carrying excessive weight or placing it against rough surfaces can strain the leather and distort its shape.
💫 Mind your environment.
Keep your bag away from dampness, rain, and direct heat (like car interiors or radiators). Extended exposure to sunlight or artificial light may alter the color or texture of both leather and canvas.
2. Contact & Surface Care
✨ Avoid transfer and stains.
Keep away from greasy products, cosmetics, perfume, or alcohol-based solutions. Avoid contact with printed materials, denim, or dark leathers that can transfer pigment.
💧 If exposed to moisture:
Gently dab — do not rub — with a soft, light-colored, absorbent cloth. Let it air dry naturally. Never use heat, hair dryers, or direct sunlight to speed the process.
3. Cleaning & Maintenance
🧴 Keep it simple.
Use a soft, lint-free cloth to wipe the surface regularly. Avoid repetitive rubbing or applying any shop-bought cleaners or solvents — they may damage the finish or canvas chevrons.
🌿 Interior care.
Use a clean, soft brush to remove dust and debris. For light stains inside, gently wipe with a dry or slightly damp cloth (no soap).
🪶 Professional rejuvenation.
For deep cleaning, restoration, or conditioning, entrust your bag only to experienced craftsmen or professional care partners. Regular visits can extend its beauty for decades.
4. Storage & Preservation
🌙 Let it rest right.
When not in use, store your bag in its protective dust pouch — never in plastic — and keep it away from heat and moisture.
🧻 Keep its shape.
Fill the interior with acid-free tissue or soft fabric to maintain its silhouette and prevent creasing.
🕯️ Aging gracefully.
Natural leathers (like Vachetta or vegetable-tanned trims) may darken or develop a patina over time — a hallmark of authenticity and character, not a flaw.
“A well-cared-for bag doesn’t just last,
It tells your story through every journey, mark, & memory.”
Preserve it with the same intention it was crafted with
The Story Behind
Hermès Picotin 18 - From utility to icon.
Inspired by the humble horse feed bag, the Picotin reflects Hermès’s equestrian roots—where function always comes first. Reimagined in fine leather and softened proportions, it transforms a practical object into an object of quiet luxury.
The Picotin 18 is intentionally simple: open, unstructured, and effortless. It invites a slower rhythm of living—carrying only what’s essential, nothing more. The padlock closure adds a subtle nod to craftsmanship, while the rounded form feels natural in the hand.
Not designed to impress at first glance,
but to be understood over time.
A bag for those who value restraint, heritage, and ease.
