How to Style Your Picotin Inspired Bag Like a Swansea Fashionista
Casual Daytime in Swansea
The Picotin’s relaxed shape makes it perfect for casual outings. Pair your Noir version with jeans and a striped Breton top for a classic New England look, or let the Vert Vertigo complement camel-colored sweaters during fall.

Work Appropriate in Fall River
Despite its casual roots, the Picotin can work for business casual environments. Carry your Noir version with tailored trousers and a blazer – the structured base keeps it professional while the slouch adds personality.

The Picotin shines year-round in Massachusetts. In summer, pair with linen dresses; in winter, let it contrast against wool coats. The Vert Vertigo particularly shines during holiday season with its rich green tones.
Accessorizing Your Picotin
Add a twilly scarf to the handle for personalization, or attach a charm to the hardware. The gold hardware on all our models coordinates beautifully with most jewelry tones.
