The story behind the Picotin Lock
A supple, bucket-like bag closed by a leather strap and padlock; a picotin is a measure of oats for a horse. Lining, handles and accessories vary by size and edition.
Read the Picotin Lock referenceIn black Clémence, the soft, grained leather gives it a relaxed silhouette, and gold hardware warms the black with a note of equestrian structure.
Collector's Insight:
The Picotin takes its name from a measure of oats for horses, and the Lock version adds the house padlock to the simple bucket.
Resale Insight:
Buyers check the Clémence corners and the handles for wear, and the padlock for plating.
