The Picotins we buy
- Picotin Lock 18 — the most wanted size
- Picotin Lock 22 — the everyday middle
- Picotin Lock 26 — the roomy original
- Clémence — the classic soft grain
- Maurice and Epsom Picotins
- Canvas and leather combinations
- Picotin with pocket (Cargo and Poche versions)
- Touch and exotic-trim Picotins
- Core colors — Gold, Etoupe, Noir, Craie, Béton
The 18 leads the line, but every Picotin moves. Because the bag is unlined and unstructured, condition reads honestly — bring it as it is and we will price what we see.
What makes a Picotin pay more
- Lock and keys present, clochette intact
- Clean, unmarked interior — the suede side tells the truth
- Upright shape with minimal slouch-set
- Core colors over seasonal shades
- Full set — box and dust bag
- Current stamps and boutique-fresh leather smell still on it
A Picotin lives an open-top life, so interior condition matters more here than on almost any other Hermès bag. A clean inside is real money.
Authenticated in store — no receipt needed
Picotins are authenticated in store with professional authentication equipment — the lock engraving, blind stamp, stitching, leather grain and hardware finish are checked at the counter. No receipt is required. Box and dust bag help the offer if you kept them.
The more you bring in, the more you get. The Picotin is where collections start — and where they get trimmed. Bring the second colorway you never reach for, the matching small leather goods, the Twillys. Bundled pieces price better together: the more you bring in, the more you get.
Conditions we buy
- Uncarried with lock sealed — pays the most
- Lightly carried, interior spotless
- Everyday Picotins with natural slouch
- Canvas Picotins with honest wear
- Picotins with an issue — interior marks are priced, not fatal
Bring a valid photo ID. Sellers and borrowers are 18+ with ID; every buy is recorded and reported exactly as Massachusetts law requires.
How it works
1. Text photos first. Photos of your Picotin, front and back, plus any details, to 857-867-6468 — get a realistic range before you travel.
2. Bring it in. 1107 Commonwealth Ave, Boston — Mon–Fri 11–6:30, Sat 11–4:30. Bring a valid photo ID (18+). We authenticate and price the item at the counter, in front of you.
3. Get paid the same visit. Cash on the spot — or a pawn loan at 3% per month* if you would rather borrow against it and keep it yours.
Sell it, or borrow against it and keep it?
The Picotin makes a tidy, honest pawn: real Hermès value in a small footprint. Sell it for cash on the spot, or borrow against it at 3% per month* for up to 4 months, renewable, and pick it back up when the stretch is over.
Private VIP room: for loans and purchases over $2,000, ask about our private VIP room when you book — high-value pieces are handled there, not across a busy counter.
Why bring your Picotin here?
Mail-in buyers quote one number online, then grade your piece down in a warehouse you have never seen — and hold your item hostage while you argue.
Marketplaces and consignment mean weeks of messages, flakes, fees and scam risk on a piece worth serious money.
At LBC Pawn your Picotin is authenticated and priced at the counter in front of you, the offer is the offer, and you leave with cash the same visit — or a loan ticket and your ownership intact.
Skip the drive-first guesswork. Text photos of the item to 857-867-6468 and get a ballpark before you come. Prefer to talk? Call the same number during shop hours.

Questions we hear
- Which Picotin size pays the most?
- The 18, consistently — it is the size everyone wants and the hardest to walk out of a boutique with. The 22 and 26 pay well too, especially in core colors.
- Do you buy the canvas Picotin?
- Yes — canvas and leather combinations are bought alongside the all-leather versions, priced by condition like everything else.
- The inside of my Picotin is marked. Still worth it?
- Usually, yes. Interior marks lower the number but Picotin demand is deep — text us photos and we will give you a straight range before you travel.
- Can I pawn a Picotin instead of selling?
- Yes — 3% per month* (plus the one-time 8% first-month charge), up to 4 months, renewable.
