Product Description
This vintage Hermès Picotin 22 in black Clemence leather with palladium hardware offers effortless refinement. In very good condition, it features dual handles, an unlined interior and a leather strap closure. Ideal for city days, lunch meetings or relaxed evening outings, it brings understated Hermès elegance to everyday dressing.
Q: What typically fits inside the Hermès Clemence Picotin 22 Bag? A: With measurements of approx. 21 × 21 × 17 cm, this size works well for everyday essentials such as a full-size wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses, a small cosmetics pouch and similar daily items. Many owners also use the 22 size for a compact water bottle or small e-reader, depending on how they pack.
Q: Is the Picotin 22 a good everyday size? A: Yes, the 22 is widely considered one of the most practical Picotin sizes for day-to-day use. It offers noticeably more room than the smaller 18 while still keeping the relaxed bucket silhouette that makes the style so popular.
Q: Can this bag be worn on the shoulder? A: This model is designed primarily to be carried by hand or in the crook of the arm. The handle drop is approx. 16 cm, so it is not intended to function as a true shoulder bag.
Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.

Q: How secure is the closure? A: The Picotin is known for its open-top bucket design with a leather strap closure and lock detail. It offers light closure for everyday use, but it is not as secure as a zip-top bag, so smaller valuables are best kept in a pouch inside.
Q: What is Clemence leather like? A: Clemence leather is a soft, grained leather with a supple feel and naturally relaxed appearance. It is appreciated for everyday wear and comfort, but because it is soft, it can develop more slouch over time than more structured Hermès leathers.
Q: How should I care for and store this vintage bag? A: Store it upright in a breathable dust bag, lightly stuffed to help maintain its shape, and keep it away from direct sunlight, heat and moisture. Wipe gently with a soft dry or slightly damp cloth, and avoid harsh cleaners or overfilling, especially as this bag has an unlined interior.
Q: What does the Square K stamp mean? A: The Square K blind stamp indicates production in 2007, which aligns with the vintage character of this piece.
Q: What condition is this bag in? A: This bag is listed in Very Good condition. The exterior shows minor wear on the corners, the interior has light traces of use, and the palladium hardware remains shiny with light surface scratches.
Q: What product information is included with this item? A: This listing states that no additional product information is included. If an item is not mentioned in the product information section, it should be considered not included.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully checked by in-house experts using details such as leather, hardware, stamping, craftsmanship and overall consistency. We stand behind the authenticity of the pieces we sell.
