The official Hermès Picotin Lock 18 reference H056289CK08 measures L 18 × H 19 × D 13 cm. It is described as a hand-carried bag in taurillon Clemence leather with a leather cord and lock closure. The number 18 is not its height or a complete size specification, and it does not prove the measurements of a supplier bag using the same name.
Read all three dimensions before planning the contents
Hermès gives L 18 × H 19 × D 13 cm for H056289CK08 and notes that dimensions may vary because the product is handmade. Retain those axis labels rather than rewriting the bag as an 18 cm cube or treating every dimension as 18.
These are exterior measurements, not a promise about usable internal volume or phone fit. Compare your wallet and phone-case measurements with the opening and interior of the actual item. A soft body can change shape, so do not calculate a rigid box capacity from the three figures.
A hand-carried bucket with a cord and lock
The product description specifies a leather cord with lock closure and says the bag can be carried by hand. It lists taurillon Clemence leather and a palladium-plated metallic finish for this reference. No shoulder strap or strap-drop measurement is supplied in the text we read.
If hands-free use is essential, confirm a different carrying solution before choosing this type of bag. Do not assume a shoulder strap is included because another listing or styled photograph shows accessories. The closure description also does not establish water resistance or a sealed top.
The equestrian story explains the shape, not every accessory
Hermès describes the Picotin as inspired by horse feeders and says its name comes from an old French measure of oats given to a horse. The family story mentions unlined leather versions and canvas-and-leather versions with outside pockets. Those are alternatives within the story, not combined features of every Picotin.
A separate organiser changes how you divide the interior. Before adding one, check its own dimensions, the opening it must pass through and whether it leaves room for the closure. Neither the official page nor a supplier photograph is evidence that a particular insert is included in your quotation.
Compare the two supplier records on their own terms
KU-7654C958 lists 18 × 19 cm with a store-provided Genuine leather description; depth and axis labels are missing. Its photograph includes a separate fabric insert beside a burgundy bag. KU-1E3D50F6 is supplier-described cowhide and offers 23 × 22 cm or 20 × 18 cm. Its two black bags are photographed with decorative accessories.
Neither record verifies Clemence leather, palladium plating or identity with H056289CK08. Select the SKU and size option, then request labelled dimensions, handle clearance, closure views and an itemised accessories list. Both catalogue references retain unverified brand identity.
