A rare and exceptional Micro Picotin 14 in Vert Vertigo lizard, one of the most coveted exotic executions of this playful, structured little bag. The Picotin was originally conceived as a utilitarian tote inspired by horse feed buckets, and in this micro size and lizard skin it becomes something else entirely, a genuine collector’s object rather than an everyday accessory.
Leather: The bag is crafted in lizard, a skin Hermès uses sparingly and only on select styles given its delicacy and the skill required to work with it. Vert Vertigo is a vivid, saturated green that reads almost electric depending on the light, and the natural scale pattern of the lizard gives the surface a fine, tactile texture unlike anything achievable in calfskin. Lizard of this quality and in this colorway rarely appears on the Picotin silhouette, making this a genuinely scarce find for collectors of exotic Hermès pieces.
Hardware: Finished in gold hardware, which sits beautifully against the depth of the green and gives the bag a warmer, more finished presentation than palladium would. The clochette and lock are proportioned for the micro size, and the hardware shows the clean, precise finishing Hermès is known for.
Condition: The bag presents in excellent condition, with the lizard skin free of significant marking and the color retaining its full vibrancy. Exotic skins are especially sensitive to handling and environment, so a Micro Picotin in this state of preservation is notable in itself.
Accompaniments: This example comes as a full set, including box and original papers, which meaningfully supports both authenticity and long term value for a piece in this rarity tier. For collectors seeking an exotic Picotin that stands apart from the ubiquitous Togo and Clemence versions, this is a superb opportunity.
