Vintage 1986 Hermes Haut à Courroies HAC Toile & Leather Travel Bag

Hermès Haut à Courroies 50 Toile and Leather Hac Travel Bag, Circa 1986

A distinguished Hermès travel bag with the quietly confident character of a classic. Its generous, structured silhouette pairs durable woven toile with warm tan leather, finished with hand-stitched detailing, rolled handles and the house's signature strap and lock fastening.

The spacious interior and substantial proportions make it an elegant companion for travel, while the natural patina of the leather lends the bag the understated appeal of a well-loved vintage piece. The interior is stamped "Hermès Paris Made in France"; the P date stamp within a circle dates the bag to 1986. The lock and leather clochette are present.

The bag displays signs of age and use consistent with careful use, including marks and wear to the leather and patina to the metal hardware. Please refer to the photographs for condition.

Dimensions: 54cm wide × 43cm high × 28cm deep
Nice to find in this condition, interior is clean, we have not restored at all and has a wonderful warm patinated colour to the natural leather. Much loved and well cared for.

Its foundational years were quick to adapt to changing lifestyles and uses, and at the beginning of the 20th century, Hermès unveiled its first travel bag - the Haut à Courroies. It diverted from its equestrian use to accompany the transition from horse drawn carriages to the age of the motor car and of transatlantic crossings, outlying the many heirs that the brand would conjure that we so love today.
