The body is black suede with a glossy crocodile center strip running vertically from the flap through the front panel, creating a tonal contrast between the matte nap of the suede and the high-sheen scale pattern of the exotic. The crocodile also covers the flap closure area where the hardware mounts, concentrating the most durable material at the highest-stress points. Gold hardware shows patina consistent with age and handling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe HAC (Haut à Courroies) predates the Birkin and is distinguished by its taller proportions and shorter handles, designed for vertical storage rather than arm carry. At 40 cm wide and 36 cm tall, this is a substantial piece that sits in travel-bag territory. The suede-and-crocodile combination is not standard production and represents an atypical material pairing for this format.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 – Very Good\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e HAC Black Suede \u0026amp; Rare\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLeather:\u003c\/strong\u003e Crocodile\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gold\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40 x 36 x 24 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJaneFinds Collector's Insight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Crocodile production is constrained by raw material scarcity and limited annual output.
