Hermes HAC Birkin 40 Handmade Bag in Red Clemence Leather

The HAC is also known as the Haut à Courroies and it means High Belts in French. It was created in the 1800’s and it’s older than the Birkin Bag. The original purpose of the Hermes HAC Bag was to transport riding equipment like saddle and boots. Émile-Maurice Hermès designed the Hac Bag after the handbags carried by cowboys in Argentina inspired him. Today, the Birkin HAC is generally preferred by male buyers and often replace briefcases or backpacks as the daily work bag.
