Shoppe the Hermes HAC (Haut à Courroies)

The Hermes Birkin is regarded by many as THE ultimate bag but the fact that the Hermes Haut à Courroies (HAC) is indeed the original bag the Birkin was designed based on, is not a knowledge widely known by many. Looking almost exactly identical as the Birkin but with shorter handles and taller body, the HAC is nowadays more rarely spotted compared to the Birkin itself.

One of our good friends bought his HAC40 two years ago and is now thinking of letting it go to our readers at a bargain price. The bag is still in pristine condition with all corners very well taken care of. The HAC40 is indeed perfect as city bag for you who are blessed with certain heights (170cm and above) or as a weekender. With its iconic design and eye-catching yet timeless color Rouge Venetian, the bag is a classic, meant to be kept forever.

Hermes Hac 32

Note: this item is no longer on sale but it is one hot vintage bag that i can’t stop thinking about and no, it is not Hermes Birkin; It is actually Hermes HAC (Haut a Courrois), aka the “original Birkin” before its handles got elongated and its body got slightly shrunk to fit Jane Birkin’s requirement of seizing her bag into the airplane cabin seat when she travels.

This pre-owned HAC was on sale on Luxury-shops.com for USD8,609 and is now sold out. I dun know which lucky owner got this treasure, but congratulations if you are reading this. An Hermes HAC is high on my list now and unlike a Birkin, it is more masculine (especially the bigger ones), more versatile and comes with shorter wait-list, therefore P-E-R-F-E-C-T! By the way, if this bag somehow looks familiar to you, Ms Katie Cruise carried one a few months back in size 40 or 50 (the one featured here is 32), which in my opinion, was way too big for her petite built.
