The story behind the HAC
Haut à Courroies: the direct ancestor of the Birkin, made to carry riding boots and a saddle. Hermès' own chronology dates it to around 1900 and credits Émile Hermès with its design. Proportions vary by size and era: a HAC 60 dated 2002 on record is wider than it is tall.
Discover Hermès Birkin HAC BagsAt 50 cm it remains a true travel bag, taller in proportion than any Birkin.
Here it pairs Toile Criss, a fine micro-check canvas, in Ecru Beige with Gold Evercolor at the flap, handles, sangles and corners, and palladium hardware keeps the warm palette crisp.
Collector's Insight:
Canvas-and-leather HACs are made in far smaller numbers than all-leather travel bags, and the lighter canvas makes a 50 cm bag practical to carry.
Resale Insight:
Light canvas shows soiling at the corners and base, so buyers check those and the Gold Evercolor trim at the handles for darkening.
