Hermes HAC Birkin 55 Toile & Rouge H Box with Gold Hardware - 1981, K Circle

Sometimes referred to as ‘the original Birkin’ the HAC (meaning Haut a Courroies or High Belt in French) was originally designed to carry a saddle and has been in production for nearly a century. This example from the early 1980’s features a Toile canvas body and a vintage Hermes branded lining that is only found in bags from this period. The iconic bits are done in Rouge H Box leather with patinated gold hardware.
