The Epitome of Hermès Heritage: A Noir and Bleu Nuit HAC Birkin 50
Step into the world of true Hermès connoisseurship with this exceptionally rare Haut à Courroies (HAC) Birkin 50. A piece that transcends fleeting trends, this bag is a direct homage to the house’s equestrian roots, reimagined for the modern collector. Crafted in the classic dichotomy of Noir Black Evercalf leather and the serene depth of Bleu Nuit Feutre, and accented with cool Palladium hardware, this is more than an accessory—it is a statement of legacy and understated power.
Uncompromising Materials and Artisan Craftsmanship
The soul of this masterpiece lies in its materials. The supple Noir Evercalf leather offers a pebbled texture that is both resilient to wear and incredibly soft to the touch, promising a beautiful patina over time. This is elegantly contrasted by the Feutre, a felt-like wool fabric, in the hypnotic Bleu Nuit (midnight blue), lining the interior and exterior back pocket. This combination of textures is a signature of Hermès’s innovative spirit, providing visual interest and tactile luxury. The Palladium hardware, a polished platinum-toned finish, adds a modern, sharp contrast without the warmth of gold, making it universally sophisticated and timeless.
Design Distinction: The HAC Silhouette
While often mistaken for its cousin, the HAC Birkin possesses a distinct personality and history. Originally designed in the 1900s to carry riding boots, the HAC is taller, narrower, and features a longer strap drop than the standard Birkin. This creates a strikingly elegant, vertical profile that is both commanding and uniquely practical. The 50cm size offers a generous capacity, making it an ideal companion for travel, as a sophisticated weekender, or for those who carry the world with them in unparalleled style. Its presence is undeniable, yet its elegance remains unquestionable.
A Connoisseur’s Choice and a Sound Investment
This specific configuration—a two-tone HAC in a classic colorway with Palladium hardware—is a pinnacle find for any serious collection. It speaks to a deep appreciation for Hermès history beyond the mainstream. As a discontinued and highly sought-after model in exceptional condition, the HAC Birkin 50 represents a formidable and appreciating asset. It is a piece that will not only draw admiration for its beauty but will also be recognized by purists for its rarity and significance within the Hermès portfolio.
Authenticity and Legacy Assured
We present this HAC Birkin 50 with the full confidence of its authenticity and prestige.
