About This Piece

This Hermès Haut à Courroies (HAC) 40 in Havane Togo with Palladium Hardware (Square O) is an extraordinary and deeply significant collector's piece — the original Hermès travel bag from which the iconic Birkin was born, in a warm, rich brown colourway of exceptional depth and sophistication. Measuring 40cm × 37cm × 24cm, the HAC 40 is a commanding, generously proportioned bag of exceptional presence — taller than it is wide, with a distinctive, upright silhouette that is immediately recognisable to any serious Hermès collector.

The Haut à Courroies — meaning "high with straps" in French — is the oldest bag in the Hermès repertoire, originally designed in the 19th century to carry saddles and equestrian equipment. It is the direct ancestor of the Birkin, making it one of the most historically significant and collectible pieces in the entire Hermès universe. Crafted from Havane Togo leather, this bag showcases a warm, deeply sophisticated colour-material combination of exceptional character. Togo is a supple, pebble-grained calfskin celebrated for its softness, durability, and exceptional resistance to scratches. Havane — a rich, warm tobacco brown with deep, complex undertones — is one of Hermès' most coveted and collectible brown shades, evoking the warmth and depth of fine aged tobacco. It is a colour of exceptional richness and versatility, radiating a natural, understated elegance that is effortlessly sophisticated. The palladium hardware (PHW) adds a cool, refined contrast that perfectly complements the warmth of the Havane leather.
