Hermis Birkin 32 HAC Denim & Blue Jean Gulliver Leather Palladium Hardware

The HAC Birkin, or Haut a Courroies meaning "belt top" in French, was the original design from which the famous Birkin bag sprung. The HAC was designed in the early days of Hermis as a large bag meant to carry a saddle. In the century of so since it's inception, the HAC has been issued in numerous sizes and materials, for a time often coinciding with similar Birkin bags being made at the time. This 32cm example from 1999, which has been kept in near-immaculate condition, is one such case: a handbag-sized HAC in Blue Jean Gulliver leather (The vintage equivalent of Swift leather - Gulliver's Travels was written by Johnathan Swift, see what they did there?), and matching blue denim canvas with Palladium hardware. Many Hermis aficionados prefer the smaller HAC Birkins to the regular Birkins because of their quirky proportions and deep bodies. The shorter handles lend a more lady-like appearance to the smaller sizes.
