Why the Picotin?

The Picotin is the ideal first Hermès bag. Starting from around $3,500–$6,000 AUD pre-owned for standard leathers, it's significantly more accessible than the Birkin or Kelly while still being unmistakably Hermès. The open-top design makes it incredibly easy to use, and the Clemence leather develops a beautiful patina over time.

Best-selling colours include Noir, Gold, Etoupe, Biscuit, Trench and seasonal favourites like Rose Sakura and Vert Jade. Every Picotin at The Purse Affair is professionally authenticated.
