Hermès HAC Haut à Courroies 50 Gris Tourterelle Togo 2010

Hermès HAC Haut à Courroies 50 — Gris Tourterelle Togo Leather, 2010

Among the rarest configurations in the entire Hermès universe — the HAC 50 is the largest size in the Haut à Courroies family and one of the most seldom-seen bags on the secondary market. This extraordinary piece in Gris Tourterelle Togo leather from 2010 is a genuine collector's find: a bag that combines monumental scale with one of Hermès's most quietly sophisticated colourways.

The HAC 50 — Why Size Matters

While the HAC 40 is already considered large by most standards, the HAC 50 occupies an entirely different category. Originally conceived for serious travel and equestrian transport, the 50 cm format offers a capacity that no other Hermès bag can match — making it simultaneously a functional travel companion and one of the most statement-making pieces a collector can own. Production of the HAC 50 is extremely limited, and finding one in this condition and colourway is a genuinely rare occurrence.

Colour — Gris Tourterelle

Gris Tourterelle — French for "turtledove grey" — is one of Hermès's most deceptive and beloved neutrals. Despite its name suggesting grey, the colour reads in person as a warm, soft beige-taupe with subtle grey undertones that shift beautifully depending on the light. It is the ultimate chameleon neutral: pairing effortlessly with everything from tailored clothing to casual weekend wear, and never drawing attention to itself in the wrong way. Within the Hermès colour archive, Gris Tourterelle is consistently one of the most requested shades among collectors and stylists alike.

Leather — Togo Calfskin

Togo is the workhorse of Hermès leathers — a pebbled calfskin known for its exceptional durability, scratch resistance, and ability to hold its structure over decades of use. A 2010 Togo piece has had fifteen years to settle into its character, and a well-preserved example like this one demonstrates exactly why collectors seek out vintage Togo above newer production.

Hardware & Closure

Finished with the classic double-strap closure and padlock in palladium (silver-tone) hardware, maintaining the clean, restrained aesthetic that defines the HAC silhouette.
