Taurillon Clemence Picotin Lock 18 PM Etoupe

The Hermès Picotin Lock 18 (PM) in Etoupe Taurillon Clemence is widely considered the most iconic and sought-after combination in the Picotin lineup. Inspired by equestrian feed bags, this “minimalist bindle” serves as a carefree and functional companion that highlights the natural beauty of Hermès’ drummed leather.

Core Design & Material Composition

Material (Taurillon Clemence): Crafted from Veau Clemence, a heavy, drummed calfskin known for its semi-matte appearance and generous, irregular grain. This leather is exceptionally soft and “yielding” to the touch, becoming even more supple and flexible over time.
Color (Etoupe – Color Code 18): A signature Hermès grey-brown or “greige” tone that is highly valued for its versatility and status as a timeless neutral.
Hardware (Metal Color): This specific model is finished with polished Palladium-plated (silver-tone) hardware. This includes the signature padlock and the four protective base studs.
Stitching: Features the hallmark white contrast saddle stitching, which elegantly defines the bag’s central seam and clean edges against the Etoupe leather.

Specifications & Functionality

Dimensions: Approximately 18 cm W x 19 cm H x 13.5 cm D (roughly 7″ x 7.5″ x 5.3″).
Handles: Equipped with double flat leather top handles designed for hand carry or wearing in the crook of the arm.
Interior: Features an unlined, raw suede interior in tonal Etoupe, which keeps the bag lightweight while showcasing the high-quality hide.
Closure: Features a pull-through leather cinch strap (tab) secured by a functional Kelly-style padlock and key.
