This vintage 1996 example is rendered in Etrusque, a discontinued earthy tone that resembles terracotta or burnt sienna, capturing the warmth of the Tuscan landscape. Crafted from Taurillon Clemence, the leather is known for its heavy, matte grain and slouchy \"return\" quality, giving this large travel piece a relaxed, sophisticated drape that defies the rigidity of new bags.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccented with classic Gold hardware, the Etrusque pigment takes on a rich, autumnal character that is quintessentially 1990s Hermès. The 45cm size offers generous capacity for a weekend getaway while maintaining a manageable footprint compared to the massive 50cm or 60cm versions. Preserved in Very Good condition, this Circle Z era piece features the distinct quality of 20th-century craftsmanship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 – Very Good\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStamp:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1996, Circle Z\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e HAC 45 (Haut à Courroies)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Etrusque (Terracotta\/Brown)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Clemence Leather\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gold\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 45 × 40 × 25 cm | 17.75\" W × 15.75\" H × 10\" D\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJaneFinds Collector's Insight:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEtrusque is a \"Ghost Color\" for modern collectors;a hue that defined a specific era of Hermès history but is no longer part of the standard palette. Finding it on a significant travel piece like the HAC 45 is rare. It appeals to the connoisseur who favors the \"Old Hermès\" aesthetic, where colors were derived from natural earth tones rather than the pop-brights of today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJaneFinds Market Insight:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVintage HACs in discontinued colors are enjoying a strong resurgence as the \"Heritage Travel\" trend grows. Unlike black or gold, Etrusque offers a unique visual identity that signals a deep archive piece. As a functional asset, it provides the utility of a modern weekender with the appreciating value of a vintage collectible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr style=\"margin: 2rem 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e👜 \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/janefinds.com\/pages\/the-janefinds-standard-condition-guide\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eJaneFinds Condition Guide\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e📅 \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/janefinds.com\/blogs\/janefinds-blog\/decoding-hermes-stamp-symbols-a-guide-for-collectors\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eHermès Date Stamp Reference\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e⛓️ \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/janefinds.com\/collections\/janefinds-accessories\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eAccessory Chains\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e📐 \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/janefinds.com\/blogs\/janefinds-blog\/the-definitive-hermes-size-guide\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eHermès Size Guide\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e\n{\n  \"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\/\",\n  \"@type\": \"Product\",\n  \"name\": \"Hermès HAC 45 Etrusque Clemence Leather Gold Hardware\",\n  \"description\": \"Rare Vintage Hermès HAC 45 in Etrusque Clemence Leather with Gold Hardware. 1996 Stamp Circle Z.
