Hermès HAC Birkin 40 Tri-Color Rouge Garance Chocolat Terre Battue Fjord Ruthenium Hardware
Hermès HAC Birkin 40 Tri-Color Rouge Garance Chocolat Terre Battue Fjord Ruthenium Hardware
Forty centimeters in the HAC format—taller and deeper than the standard Birkin 40, built as the house's original travel silhouette. Three-color Fjord leather: Rouge Garance front body, Terre Battue upper flap and piping, Chocolat handles, sangles, clochette, and side panels. Ruthenium hardware darkens the palette further—no warm metal to soften the combination. This is a deliberate, high-contrast color block.
Fjord is a heavy, flat-grain leather with more body than Togo or Clemence. It holds structure under load, which matters at 40 cm. The tri-color construction requires the atelier to cut and assemble panels from three separate skins while maintaining consistent weight and grain across the bag. Plastic remains on the middle plate. Interior lined in matching leather with zip pocket and open pocket.

JaneFinds Collector's Insight:
Tri-color Birkins and HACs are special order configurations—three leathers cut and matched from separate hides. Fjord has been largely discontinued in Hermès production, replaced by softer alternatives like Clemence and Togo. A 2006 J Square stamp places this in a period when Fjord was still available as a standard option. Ruthenium hardware was offered intermittently and is no longer in current production, adding a second discontinued element to the configuration.
JaneFinds Market Insight:
Multi-color HACs in discontinued leathers with discontinued hardware occupy a narrow intersection in the secondary market. The combination of three specific colors, Fjord, and Ruthenium cannot be replicated through current Hermès special order options. Excellent condition with plastic on hardware for a 2006 production piece.
