Hermès Birkin 40 HAC Etoupe Clemence Palladium Hardware
The Haut à Courroies (HAC) is the original Hermès travel bag, first designed in the late 19th century to carry equestrian gear. This rare 40cm Etoupe Clemence Birkin HAC reinterprets that heritage for modern collectors, offering a taller profile with shorter handles than the standard Birkin. The result is a bold, architectural silhouette that is both practical and striking. Etoupe, Hermès' most versatile grey-taupe, pairs effortlessly with palladium hardware for understated refinement.
Collector's Insight: The HAC Birkin remains one of the most coveted variants in Hermès' travel lineage. At 40cm, it delivers presence and functionality in equal measure, a piece that embodies the maison's heritage while offering unmatched versatility for modern use.
