HAC (Haut à Courroies)

Whilst the Birkin is the international symbol of Hermes, the Haut à Courroies (HAC) is the original. This bags was designed in the late 1800’s and was initially intended to carry riding boots and other equestrian equipment. However, in today’s world it is mainly used as a stylish luxury travel bag and is quite popular with men, too.

The The main difference between HAC and Birkin is their size. HAC usually comes in sizes 40cm or larger, giving you ample space to store all your long-haul flight luggage. As well as this, the handles of the Haut à Courroies are shorter than the Birkin due to its intent to be carried in the hand rather than over the arm.
