The Picotin is Hermès's most understated and perhaps most underrated bag — a simple bucket silhouette with no closure beyond a double-loop handle that threads through the top. Named after the French word for a small measure of oats (it resembles a feed bucket), it is the Hermès piece most frequently reached for on a daily basis. In Vert Cypress — a deep forest green with warm undertones — it is particularly striking.
