Hermès Vintage HAC Birkin 50 Denim and Naturelle Vache Liégée Gold Hardware A unicorn in scale, construction, and condition—this Hermès Vintage HAC Birkin 50 is rendered in a rarely seen pairing of rugged Denim canvas and Naturelle Vache Liégée leather, finished with radiant gold hardware. This Voyager-sized Haut à Courroies model exemplifies functional luxury with equestrian roots, and is a prized find for collectors who appreciate the intersection of archival design and enduring materials. Vache Liégée is known for its firmness, signature grain, and glossy resilience. Once favored for hard-sided travel pieces, it offers structure without compromising on refinement. In this 50cm iteration, it anchors the bag’s base, handles, and belts—contrasting beautifully with indigo-hued denim panels that nod to utility and modernity. First introduced in 1892 by Émile-Maurice Hermès, the HAC design predates both the Kelly and Birkin, and remains the ultimate expression of the house’s saddle-making heritage. Vintage pieces in this configuration are exceedingly rare, particularly from the late 1990s when this bag was produced. Whether used for travel, statement styling, or display, this bag embodies craftsmanship at scale. With signs of wear consistent with use and age, it remains in good condition—solid in structure, rich in character, and unmatched in presence. Condition: 4 – Good Stamp: 1998, B in Square Color: Denim and Naturelle Material: Denim and Vache Liégée Hardware: Gold Dimensions: 19.5" L x 16.5" H x 10.5" W (50cm) JaneFinds Collector's Insight Vintage HAC 50s are incredibly rare in the wild—especially in denim and Vache Liégée. These bags weren’t widely distributed and were often made in small batches for elite travelers or atelier commissions. The combination of canvas and durable leather makes this particular version a grail for Hermès historians and collectors seeking statement-scale heritage pieces. JaneFinds Resale Insight Large-format HACs are niche but growing in value, especially in unique materials and condition-preserved vintage models. Denim and Vache Liégée editions are among the most difficult to source, and when well-documented, can command premium placement in private collections or at auction. This bag represents both a fashion artifact and a rare investment in Hermès’ design evolution. 👜 JaneFinds Handbag Condition Guide 🔢 Hermès Date Stamp Guide ⛓ JaneFinds Accessory Chains 📏 Hermès Size Guide
