Hermès Haut à Courroies (HAC) 32 Black Box Calf & Blanc Cassé Ostrich Gold Hardware – 1995 An exceptionally rare collector's piece, this 1995 Hermès Haut à Courroies (HAC) 32 showcases one of the most striking and uncommon combinations ever produced by Hermès. Crafted in smooth Black Box Calf leather with a luxurious Blanc Cassé Ostrich flap, sangles, and clochette, this extraordinary design is beautifully accented by gold-plated hardware for a timeless, sophisticated contrast. Originally created for carrying riding gear, the Haut à Courroies is the predecessor to the iconic Birkin, making it one of Hermès' most historically significant designs. The rare 32cm size is especially coveted, offering the elegance of a Birkin with the distinctive, elongated proportions unique to the HAC silhouette. The body is crafted from Box Calf, Hermès' legendary heritage leather prized for its smooth, structured finish and subtle natural sheen. Over time, Box Calf develops a rich patina that enhances its vintage character. The flap is fashioned from Blanc Cassé Ostrich, an elegant off-white hue that beautifully highlights the leather's signature quill pattern, creating a sophisticated contrast against the deep black body. Stamped with a Circle Y denoting 1995 production, this exceptional HAC represents the craftsmanship and exclusivity of vintage Hermès at its finest.
