Rouge H Clemence leather gives this Hermes Picotin Lock 18 a deep red colour and a softly grained surface. The open bucket shape is framed by two broad leather handles that cross above the opening. Matching stitching follows the handles and lower edges, while dark edge finishing adds definition to the red leather.

A narrow leather strap passes through a silver-tone fitting and carries a small padlock at the front. The curved sides taper towards a rectangular base, supported by four metal feet. These simple fittings provide a cool metallic accent without interrupting the supple leather panels or the rounded shape of the handles.

Inside, the red compartment has a soft-looking surface around the sides and a grained base panel. The broad opening makes the compartment easy to reach when the handles are parted. Dimensions are 18 by 13 by 18 cm, keeping this small hand-carried bucket bag neatly proportioned.
