Hermes Birkin 40 HAC Etoupe Togo leather bag Palladium Hardware
Hermès’s son, Charles-Émile, took over management from his father in 1880 and moved the shop to 24 rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, where it remains. With the help of his sons Adolphe and Émile-Maurice, Charles-Émile introduced saddlery and started selling his products retail.[7]
The company catered to the élite of Europe, North Africa, Russia, Asia, and the Americas. In 1900, the firm offered the Birkin Haut à Courroies bag, specially designed for riders to carry their saddles with them
The Haut à Courroies bag is the oldest member of the Hermes family.
The Haut à courroies was Hermès’ firstborn, before the automobile and the taste for travel, at the beginning of the 20th century. Designed by Hermès to protect and transport saddles and riding boots, this ingenious and practical bag made life easier for riders and offered them an early expression of elegance. Its rigid flap folded flat against the rear of the bag creating a wide opening. The two saddle flaps were thus held in place by the straps, as if absorbed by the bag, like a sleight of hand.
Do you want it in size HAC 40, halfway between a handbag and a travel bag? Or would you prefer it as a travel bag in size HAC 50?
The Haut à Courroies (Birkin HAC )is strong and powerful; it is impressive, masterful and sovereign.
