The Hermès HAC 40 Birkin in Black Togo leather delivers a powerful presence rooted in heritage and function.
Originally known as the Haut à Courroies, this design served as Hermès’ first travel bag.
Because of its tall silhouette and structured proportions, the HAC commands attention while remaining practical for modern use.
Durable Togo Leather
Hermès crafted this HAC in beautifully grained Togo leather, prized for its durability and refined texture.
Moreover, the leather resists scratches while maintaining a supple hand.
Palladium hardware introduces a crisp, modern contrast against the deep black exterior.
As a result, the bag balances strength with understated elegance.
Condition and Presentation
This Hermès HAC 40 Birkin shows very light wear marks that appear only upon close inspection.
Nevertheless, the structure remains clean and well preserved.
The bag includes the lock, keys in clochette, and sleeper, ensuring a complete presentation.
