Hermès Birkin 40 HAC Rose Azalée Evercolor leather and Gris Clair Wool Toudou Palladium Hardware
Hermès Birkin 40 HAC Rose Azalée Evercolor and Gris Clair Wool Toudou Palladium Hardware
The Hermès Birkin HAC, or "Haut à Courroies," is the quintessential original—a timeless design that predates the modern Birkin by decades. Originally created for equestrian gear, the HAC has since evolved into the ultimate statement travel accessory. This particular 40cm model showcases a unique blend of materials and color: sumptuous Rose Azalée Evercolor leather paired with Gris Clair Wool Toudou, a pairing that brings contrast, texture, and quiet luxury to life.
Rose Azalée offers a soft, romantic pink with a fresh undertone that feels both feminine and refined. The durable Evercolor leather is lightly textured, known for its resilience and consistent grain. Gris Clair Wool Toudou, used across the body, brings tactile warmth and lightness to the silhouette, making the bag exceptionally comfortable for everyday or travel use. Palladium hardware adds a crisp, contemporary finish to this elegant and functional heirloom.

JaneFinds Collector’s Insight:
Blending tactile wool with fine leather, this Birkin HAC stands out as one of the most artfully constructed variations of the model. The Rose Azalée trim gives it softness and flair, while the Gris Clair Wool Toudou brings seasonal adaptability and texture. An extremely rare configuration for connoisseurs who appreciate both heritage and experimentation within the Hermès universe.
JaneFinds Resale Insight:
Large-format HAC Birkins with mixed materials like Wool Toudou are scarce on the resale market—especially in color pairings as desirable as Rose Azalée and Gris Clair. Their unique positioning as both collector’s item and functional travel piece drives strong demand. Expect above-average retention and interest from collectors seeking style-meets-utility in a bold way.
