The Haut à Courroies, or HAC, predates the Birkin and was originally designed to carry saddles and tall riding equipment.
Its strong vertical proportions and structured handles later influenced the creation of the Birkin, while the HAC itself remained a more discreet insider’s choice.
Flag editions are distinguished by a central stripe that reflects modern graphic design and architectural balance.
Because production remains extremely limited, collectors often view a pristine HAC 40 as a cornerstone piece that bridges travel utility with heirloom value.
