Join me, Yvette Sojourner, as I revisit my journey with the iconic Hermes Picotin 18 - a bag that marked my first foray into the world of Hermes luxury a year ago. This video isn't just a review; it's a story of luxury, personal growth, and style evolution. So, grab your favorite beverage, settle in, and let's dive into the world of Hermes together!

Hi @nurseratched8370, Thank you so much! 😊 I'm thrilled you enjoyed the video. The Picotin 18 is truly a special piece.

[@BeFruitfulMomma]

Thank you so much for sharing. This bag is on my list for this year. It'll be my first Hermes (anything). I fell in love with this bag before I even knew it was a Hermes. I LOVE IT!!!

[@YvetteSojourner]

@BeFruitfulMomma That’s fantastic to hear! There’s something truly special about your first Hermes purchase-it’s definitely a memorable experience. I’m thrilled that you’ve found love in this bag and can’t wait for you to have it in your collection. Thank you for sharing your excitement with me!

Thanks for the review. I am a bucket bag girl and I got my Picotin 3 months ago. I am deeply regretting I hadn’t had gotten it earlier. It is so functional and has the excellent capacity for me. Among quota bags, I like Constance mini.

[@YvetteSojourner]

Hi @MY-kh9hx, Thank you for watching and your kind words! 😊 The Picotin 18 is indeed a gem. I’m so glad you’re loving yours-it really is a fantastic and functional bag. The Constance mini is a lovely choice for a quota bag; its versatility and elegance are hard to beat. Stay tuned for a special unboxing in September, my birthday month! 😉

I just adore the Picotin. The game changer for me was the insert...not a bucket bag person. I now have three and they're my grab & go bags. Love seeing your excitement for the Picotin.

[@YvetteSojourner]

Hi @monarch6443, I'm thrilled to hear you share the same love for the Picotin! It's fascinating how the insert transformed the bag for you. Owning three must really offer a wonderful variety for your daily needs. Thank you so much for sharing your experience and for your kind words. It’s always exciting to meet fellow enthusiasts who appreciate the unique charm of all Hermes bags and not solely the quota bags. Keep enjoying your fabulous collection!

But can we discuss your blouse 😍 Gorgeous!

[@YvetteSojourner]

Thank you so much for the compliment @theijeomalyons! ❤️ This is actually the Hermès Twillaine Long Cardigan. I absolutely adore how it combines the classic elegance of Hermès with a comfortable, versatile style. It’s one of those pieces that just makes you feel chic and put together effortlessly. So glad you noticed!

[@theijeomalyons]

@@YvetteSojourner it looks so soft... I assumed it was a silk blouse... GORGEOUS!!!

[@LEM3945]

Thank you for sharing. 🌺

[@YvetteSojourner]

Hi @LEM3945, You're very welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. 🌸 It's always a pleasure to share my experiences with such an amazing community. If you have any questions or thoughts about the Picotin 18 or anything else, feel free to share!

[@theijeomalyons]

I am with you.... Stylistically, this bag is not a formal bag...

[@YvetteSojourner]

Absolutely! It’s such a unique and versatile bag, definitely not something you'd reach for on a formal occasion, but perfect for more relaxed and casual looks. I love how it stands out in a subtle, chic way.

[@theijeomalyons]

I have a question....if you wanted a dustbag... could you ask for one and get it?

[@YvetteSojourner]

That’s an interesting question! Typically, whether or not you get a dust bag depends on if the item usually comes with one. However, it can also depend on the SA (Sales Associate). If the item doesn’t typically come with a dust bag, but they have extras available, it never hurts to ask. You might get lucky!
